This paper presents an approach to reconstruct internal combustion engine cylinder pressure from the engine cylinder head vibration signals, using radial basis function (RBF) networks. The relationship between the cylinder ...

In this study we compare fish diversity and abundances in the impacted region of the FR, with sites unexposed to elevated water concentrations of contaminants, both before and after remediation. Our results show both the ...

Using an integrated-ray approach an expression for the transmission of rectangular section mirror light pipe (MLP) has been derived for the case of collimated light input. The transmittance and the irradiance distribution ...

The highly strengthened treatment and disposal of excess sludge based on economic and environmental regulation factors is one of the important issues to be dealt with in the activated sludge process. In this study, the ...

A new technique is proposed that offers significant reduction of multiple access interference (MAI) encountered in asynchronous multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CD MA) detection. Using a dual frequency switching ...

Macrophages detect pathogens via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which trigger several intracellular signaling cascades including the MAPK and NFkB pathways. These in turn mediate the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory ...

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and Stroke or Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) cause severe physical disability and affect the person quality of life. Therefore, rehabilitation therapies are essential ...

Electricity and gas industries are major industries in the Australian economy. Significant reforms were initiated in these industries in the early 1990s, with a core objective of improving their efficiencies through recourse ...

Research in identifying the relative importance of criteria used to select a preferred supplier has, for the most part, relied on subjective lists of criteria being presented to respondents. The research reported here uses ...

Body area wireless sensor networks (BAWSNs) are time-critical systems that rely on the collective data of a group of sensor nodes. Reliable data received at the sink is based on the collective data provided by all the ...
