“…Observations of the rate of emission and composition of volcanic plumes are essential to recognize and, in some cases, predict the state of volcanic activity. Measurements of the size and location of the plumes are important to assess the impact of the emission from sporadic or localized events to persistent or widespread processes of climatic and environmental importance. …”

“…Plasma F2-IsoP concentrations also inversely correlated with red cell deformability and were higher in fatal cases. Mixed effects modeling including an interaction term for CFH and time showed that F2-IsoPs, IsoFs, PfHRP2, CFH, and red cell rigidity were independently associated with increasing creatinine over 72 h. …”

From Research to Search: Technologies and Techniques of Legal Research, 1880-1980 by Reiss Sorokin, Alex

“…It shows that at the same time as the system was likened to human dialogue, it offered a substantially different interaction with court cases, a process that altered the epistemic and social setting of legal research. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…We prove the optimality of a threshold policy in both cases. We further characterize a rationing and donor-build up policy in the lost-sales setting if few donors are available because of a resource-conserving and capacity building mind-set from blood banks. …”

Deep learning-based concrete image analysis and generalization capability by Qian, Hanjie

“…Another generalization capability issue related to models trained on SEM data is the unavailability of labels in new scenarios, which may have data from a different distribution. In such cases, obtaining labels becomes unfeasible. However, traditional research has often overlooked this constraint and instead selected the best results based on the model's performance on new data. …”

Synthesis and optical study of lead halide perovskites for opto-electronic applications by Ha, Son Tung

“…In this chapter, the lasing behavior of several materials will be discussed in detail such as: layered PbI2 (i.e., precursor of perovskite), 3D perovskite nanoplatelets, and 2D perovskite flake. In most cases, the lasing mechanism was attributed to whispering gallery mode (WGM) cavity which was naturally formed in the crystal. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…This can lead to instability problems of the two-stage converter, especially when the two sub-converters present close impedance magnitudes. Under such cases, the proposed controller optimization method is effective to solve the instability issues because it can avoid the magnitude dip of the DAB impedance. …”

Control and operation of DC microgrids by Adhikari, Sujan

“…The proposed control strategies for operation of DC microgrid incorporating rooftop PV and HESS, interconnection of two DC microgrids consisting of PV and energy storages and bipolar-type DC microgrid consisting of two energy storages have been verified with Piecewise linear electrical circuit simulation (PLECS) software. Experimental cases have been carried out to validate the simulation studies with laboratory scale DC microgrid(s) prototype(s) developed at Water and Energy Research Laboratory (WERL), School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.…”

Printing of functional materials in 2D and 3D structures by Halevi, Oded

“…From the sub-nano to the macroscale, scientists and engineers have been exploring processes and technologies that may enable the formation of such structures. In many cases, functionalities and enhanced properties are gained once a certain degree of order is achieved; for example, in single crystals, self-assembled layers and three dimensional molecular networks. …”

Preparation of low-dimensional materials for plasmonic bio-sensing by Das, Chandreyee Manas

“…Also, when the thickness of the dielectric layer(s) above and/or below the SPR metal film is below a threshold value of 3 nm, the non-locality effect comes into picture where the metal can no longer be represented by a bulk permittivity. In these cases, the evaluation method needs to be modified so that the non-local effect can be considered. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…Implicitly, it is assumed and accepted that the independence or devolution processes (OECD, 2001) are essentially democratic processes, as shown by some of the EU cases and elsewhere around the world. However, in this preparatory work, it is vital that other territories should be observed, linked, compared and benchmarked. …”
