Improved identification of the solution space of aerosol microphysical properties derived from the inversion of profiles of lidar optical data, part 3: Case studies
(2018-03-27)We conclude our series of publications on the development of the gradient correlation method (GCM) which can be used for an improved stabilization of the solution space of particle microphysical parameters derived from ... -
An improved indicator framework to assess and optimise ecosystem services provided by permanent grasslands
(2023-02-28)Livestock farming systems are criticised for their environmental impacts, but they can also provide various ecosystem services to society, especially permanent grasslands. This study aimed to develop a method to assess ... -
Improved isolation and culture methods for cucumber mesophyll protoplasts
(1977-05-01)Improved methods for the isolation of large numbers of viable protoplasts from cotyledons and first leaves of two cultivars of cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. cv. Ashley and China are described. Short-term isolation methods ... -
Improved lead and bismuth (n,gamma) cross sections and their astrophysical impact
(EDP Sciences, 2008)A series of (n,gamma) neutron capture measurements on the lead isotopes and bismuth have been carried Out at the CERN n_TOF installation in the neutron energy range from 1 eV up to 1 MeV. At n_TOF, contaminations due to ... -
An improved low cost apparatus and method for the detection of a fluid-borne particle
(2012-05-03)An apparatus for the detection of a fluid-borne particle (10) in an optically defined particle sensing zone, the apparatus comprising: i) a scattering chamber (40); ii) a means for providing a sample of fluid (34), containing ... -
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 ... -
