Ecologists are increasingly recognizing the conservation significance of microrefugia, but it is inherently difficult to locate these small patches with unusual climates, and hence they are also referred to as cryptic ...

This paper outlines a simple particle mechanics model in which a single particle represents the thermodynamic fluid (gas) in a heat engine (exemplified by a piston engine). By mechanics based reasoning the model ...

An automated extraction method for extracting the major urinary metabolite of cannabis, 11-nor-?9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) was developed on the four-probe Gilson ASPEC XL4? solid-phase extraction ...

A novel compensation technique for near-field multi-view microwave imaging system is proposed. The technique is based on the combination of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA). The ...

Abstract- deploying state-of-the-art technologies is vital and inevitable in healthcare industry to cope with emerging services such as healthcare resource sharing and integration, collaborative consultation, and electronic ...

Conventional switching-table-based direct torque control (DTC) presents large torque and flux ripples as well as variable switching frequency. Many methods have been proposed to tackle the aforementioned problems, among ...

There Is Little Evidence That Workshops Alone Have A Lasting Impact On The Day-To-Day Practice Of Participants. The Current Paper Examined A Strategy To Increase Generalization And Maintenance Of Skills In The Natural ...

A series of novel endoperoxides were synthesised and tested for inhibitory activity against Candida growth. Despite structural similarities, their activity varied considerably. Several endoperoxides demonstrated potential ...

The healthcare services are among the fastest growing service markets deploying wireless technologies. As healthcare organizations continue to become more distributed, mobile handheld devices and their associated support ...

A family of novel mobile DNA elements is described, examples of which are found at several independent locations and encode a variety of antibiotic resistance genes. The complete elements consist of two conserved segments ...
