An INTEGRAL/SPI view of reticulum II: Particle dark matter and primordial black holes limits in the MeV range
(2022-03-01)Reticulum II (Ret II) is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and presents a prime target to investigate the nature of dark matter (DM) because of its high mass-to-light ratio. We evaluate a dedicated INTEGRAL observation ... -
INTEGRAL/SPI γ -ray line spectroscopy : Response and background characteristics
(2018-03-20)Context. The space based γ-ray observatory INTEGRAL of the European Space Agency (ESA) includes the spectrometer instrument "SPI". This is a coded mask telescope featuring a 19-element Germanium detector array for ... -
Integrated 18F-FDG PET/CT and perfusion CT of primary colorectal cancer : effect of inter- and intraobserver agreement on metabolic-vascular parameters
(2012-11)The purpose of this article is to assess the effect of observers on combined metabolic-vascular parameters in colorectal cancer. Twenty-five prospective patients (12 men and 13 women; mean age, 66.9 years) with proven ... -
An integrated ABCDE approach to managing medical emergencies using CRM principles
(2014)There is increasing recognition of the vital role of non-technical skills in managing medical emergencies. An ABCDE approach has been very successful in training healthcare professionals in technical skills. Using a similar ... -
An integrated air quality forecast system for a metropolitan area
(2011-12-01)Air quality forecasting is an important issue in environmental research, due to the effects that air pollutants have on population health. To deal with this topic, in this work an integrated modelling system has been ... -
An integrated approach to simulate gas turbine secondary air system
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-01-11)One of the most critical parts of a modern gas turbine that its reliability and performance has a great influence on cycle efficiency is the secondary air system (SAS). Modern systems functions to supply not only cooling ... -
An integrated approach to the development of advice systems to support learning and domain based information retrieval
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)We present a method for developing advice systems. The focus is on allowing users to access information about large, ill-defined domains using their existing knowledge and understanding of those domains. The method relies ... -
Integrated Data-Driven Approach for Early Pollution Detection and Management in the Thames River Ecosystem
(2024-04-19)The increasing pollution levels in rivers have become a serious concern worldwide due to their detrimental impact on ecosystems and human health. Recently, there has been a growing recognition of the need for early warning ... -
An integrated environmental and fairtrade labelling scheme for product supply chains
(2015-06-01)Environmental initiatives such as carbon labelling have been suggested as a driver for achieving sustainable production systems of product supply chains. The paper therefore presents a systematic process of developing an ... -
Integrated Management options for agricultural climate change mitigation (IMPACCT)
(2010)IMPACCT is a European Commission research project that seeks to develop a software tool to help European agriculture reduce its climate change impacts. The tool will be designed to facilitate farmers and growers take action ... -
Integrated queries over a heterogeneously distributed scientific database using OGSA-DQP
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)In this paper we experiment with using the UNION ALL operator to make data integration queries over a version of the SDSS scientific Database, distributed using OGSA-DQP. The paper starts with background information on the ... -
An Integrated Risk Assessment and Collision Avoidance Methodology for an Autonomous Catamaran with Fuzzy Weighting Functions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-04-22)Collision avoidance and risk assessment are open problems to be practically addressed in maritime transportation. In high-speed vessels this problem becomes more challenging due to manoeuvring and reaction time constraints. ... -
An integrated Solar-Fuel Cell Powered System for Airships
(2012-06)Development of a general model of power, propulsion and control of a novel airship is discussed in this paper. The airship design is based on the concept of the Multibody Advanced Airship for Transport (MAAT). The energy ... -
