In this work we present a set of synthetic observations that mimic the properties of the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) survey Calar Alto Legacy Integral-Field Area (CALIFA), generated using radiative transfer techniq...

Background: Spinal metastasis is the most frequent type of spinal tumor. Opioid is the first line of treatment for cancer pain despite a multitude of side effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of opioid...

The distributed optimization problem is set up in a collection of nodes interconnected via a communication network. The goal is to find the minimizer of a global objective function formed by the sum of local functions kn...

We present results from a data challenge posed to the radial velocity (RV) community: Namely, to quantify the Bayesian "evidence"for n = {0, 1, 2, 3} planets in a set of synthetically generated RV data sets containing a ...

In this paper, we present a very general design approach for optimal linear-phase differentiator filter banks for phasor measurement units based on convex semi-infinite optimization. A detailed presentation of the formul...

This paper describes an application of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) method for detecting pipe flanges. A case history is described in which GPR was successfully used to locate pipe flanges along an 8 km metal pipel...

Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are widely adopted in industry to assess the dependability of safety-critical equipment. Since many systems are too large to be studied numerically, DFTs dependability is often analysed using M...

Introduction. Recently, multilevel inverters (MLIs) have been widely investigated for industrial and renewable energy systems as they are valuable in applications where they can produce clean, high-fidelity electrical si...

Nonlinear response conception in rotating machinery, particularly in systems with squeeze film dampers (SFDs), pose significant challenges for established time-domain numerical methods due to bifurcations and critical po...

With recent developments in nanotechnologies, metal nanoparticles permeate a wide range of dimension scales, from light wavelength-scale domains down to a few nanometers approaching electronic scales. The electrodynamics...

This paper presents an evaluation of the phase shifting excitation and load effects in a Transmission Line Exciting Chamber. This chamber is suggested as an alternative for immunity tests because of the restrictions rela...

OBJETIVO: comparar a efetividade de baixas doses de misoprostol vaginal (12,5 versus 25 mcg) para indução do trabalho de parto. MÉTODOS: ensaio clínico controlado, randomizado, duplo-cego, realizado entre maio de 200...

Background: Cognitive disorder is caused by hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Elevated glycemic levels contribute to neural damage and exacerbate cognitive decline, strict glucose control is requir...

Problem. The reliability of detachable electrical contact connections is significantly reduced due to an increase in transition electrical resistance caused by thermomechanical deformations, oxidation of contact surfaces...

Abstract Pressure fluctuation due to rotor-stator interaction in turbomachinery is unavoidable, inducing strong vibration in the equipment and shortening its lifecycle. The investigation of optimization methods for an in...

Designing and engineering microresonator dispersion are essential for generating microresonator frequency comb. Microresonator frequency combs (microcombs, Kerr frequency combs) offer the potential for various attractive...

Abstract Irregular honeycomb structures occur abundantly in nature and in man-made products, and are an active area of research. In this paper, according to the optimization of regular honeycomb structures, two types of ...

Introduction. Magnetic separation is one of the most effective and widely used techniques for the purification and enrichment of materials. It plays a crucial role in mineral processing, recycling, and environmental appl...

Holograms which reconstruct the transverse profile of light with complex-amplitude information have demonstrated more excellent performances with an improved signal-to-noise ratio compared with those containing amplitude...

Abstract Re-entrant auxetic lattices exhibiting negative Poisson’s ratio behaviour are attractive for lightweight energy-absorbing applications. However, traditional re-entrant and hexagonal auxetic designs often exhib...

Abstract Background Sliding hiatal herniation (SHH) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) commonly occur in French bulldogs. Wireless pH monitoring can quantitatively assess acidic GER in dogs affected by SHH. Hypothesis/Obj...

BackgroundWith increasing pressure for global carbon emission reduction, geologic CO2 sequestration has emerged as a critical technical approach to achieving the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrali...

OBJETIVO: avaliar a prevalência de alterações citogenéticas e polimorfismos cromossômicos em casais com fenótipo de subfertilidade em uma população brasileira. MÉTODOS: foram avaliados 1.236 cariótipos de casai...

This article examines the startup period of a natural gas pipeline cryogenic reduction unit (CRU) within a gas distribution station (GDS). The objective of the study is to determine the temperature distribution within a ...
