An Improved Modeling for Low-grade Organic Rankine Cycle Coupled with Optimization Design of Radial-inflow Turbine
(2017-12-01)Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) has been proven to be an effective and promising technology to convert low-grade heat energy into power, attracting rapidly growing interest in recent years. As the key component of the ORC ... -
Improved multimedia server I/O subsystems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1998)The main function of a continuous media server is to concurrently stream data from storage to multiple clients over a network. The resulting streams will congest the host CPU bus, reducing access to the system's main memory, ... -
Improved number plate character segmentation algorithm and its efficient FPGA implementation
(2015-03)Character segmentation is an important stage in Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems as good character separation leads to a high recognition rate. This paper presents an improved character segmentation algorithm ... -
Improved number plate localisation algorithm and its efficient field programmable gate arrays implementation
(2013-03)Number plate localisation is a very important stage in an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system and is computationally intensive. This paper presents a low complexity with high detection rate number plate ... -
Improved PCR-based assays for pre-symptomatic diagnosis of light leaf spot and determination of mating type of Pyrenopeziza brassicae on winter oilseed rape
(2002-05)An existing PCR-based method for diagnosis of the winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp oleifera) fungal pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae (cause of light leaf spot) was improved by the development of a pair of primers ... -
Improved polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) detection of Gaeumannomyces-graminis including a safeguard against false negatives
(1995-09)A previously reported method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of Gaeumannomyces graminis was modified to simplify it, improve its specificity and decrease the possibility of contamination of the assay. The ... -
Improved prediction equations for estimating height in adults from ethnically diverse backgrounds
(2019-06-21)Background and aims: When body height cannot be measured, it can be predicted from ulna length (UL). However, commonly used published prediction equations may not provide useful estimates in adults from all ethnicities. ... -
Improved prospects for the detection of new Large Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae
(2011)The LargeMagellanic Cloud (LMC) contains the nearest large extragalactic population of planetary nebulae (PNe). A shallow viewing angle and low interstellar reddening towards the LMC potentially means a larger, more complete ... -
An improved quantification of HD 147379 b
(2018-02-05)We reanalyze the CARMENES and HIRES/KECK radial velocity data for HD 147379, and also analyze the SOPHIE data using the Agatha software in combination with MCMC posterior sampling. The analysis confirms the existence of ... -
Improved singlet oxygen generation in Rhenium(I) complexes functionalized with a pyridinyl selenoether ligand
(2022-01-01)The synthesis, characterization, electrochemical and photophysical properties of three novel polypyridine rhenium(I) complexes coordinated to an organoselenide ligand, 4-(phenylseleno)-pyridine (PhSepy), and structurally ... -
An improved three-step search block-matching algorithm for low bit-rate video coding applications

Improved understanding of novel sources of resistance against the light leaf spot pathogen, Pyrenopeziza brassicae
(The Association of Applied Biologists, 2017-02-28)In this work, the endophytic growth phase of the light leaf spot pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae in selected lines from a doubled haploid (DH) population of oilseed rape, which is known to segregate for resistance against ... -
Improved understanding of the vertical distribution of simulated dust distribution in the Saharan Air Layer during the ICE-D field campaign with the WRF-CHEM model
(2016-01-11)During the period of 4-27 August of 2015, the UK Ice in dust clouds experiment will take place in Cape Verde. UK_ICE-D will characterize aerosol particles and their ability to act as ice nuclei (IN) and cloud condensation ... -
Improvement in the transition of a student from secondary or further education into science higher education : Is there a mismatch between staff and students' expectations as to what is required to study science?
(2009)The aim this project is to consider if we can improve the transition of a student from secondary or further education into science higher education by analysing whether there is a mismatch between staff and students’ ... -

Improvement of cavitation erosion resistance of structural metals by alternating magnetic field treatment
(2023-01-21)Results of cavitation erosion tests for EN8 steel, nickel-aluminium bronze (NAB), 70/30 brass and aluminium alloy AA2014-T6 following alternating magnetic field (AMF) treatment are presented. These alloys were selected ... -
Improvement of cyclic fatigue life of metallic materials and welded joints by treatment by pulsed electric current
(2010)The paper presents experimental data on improvement of cyclic fatigue life of stainless steel and aluminium alloy samples as a result of treatment based on direct passage of electric current through the material, as well ... -
Improvement of frequency standards with quantum entanglement
(1997)The optimal precision of frequency measurements in the presence of decoherence is discussed. We analyse different preparations of n two-level systems as well as different measurements procedures. We show that standard ... -
Improvement of newman's model on fatigue crack closure
(2006-01-01)Newman had brought his crack closure model. It is done well in simple closure model, but it is not exactitude when there is a complex elastic-plastic region in crack front and has a variety stress-ratio. The paper improved ...
