The endpoint of the rp-process on accreting neutron stars
(2001-05-21)We find that the rp process in X-ray bursts and in steady state burning, for example in X-ray pulsars, ends in a SnSbTe cycle. We discuss the consequences for the neutron star crust composition an X-ray burst light curves. -
The Ends of the Earth : Nature, Narrative and Identity in Dystopian Film
(2013-12)This article offers a comparative ecocritical reading of two very different dystopian films: Silent Running (Douglas Trumbull, 1971), and eXistenz (David Cronenberg, 1997). In particular, it interprets these films – which ... -
The enduring scandal of deduction: Is propositional logic really uninformative?
(2009)Deductive inference is usually regarded as being “tautological” or “analytical”: the information conveyed by the conclusion is contained in the information conveyed by the premises. This idea, however, clashes with the ... -
The Energetic Cost of Activation of White Muscle Fibres from the Dogfish Scyliophinus Canicula
(1997)The energetic cost of activation was measured during an isometric tetanus of white muscle fibres from the dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula. The total heat production by the fibres was taken as a measure of the total energetic ... -
Energetics of Deep Alpine Valleys in Pooling and Draining Configurations
(2017-07-01)The Weather Research and Forecast numerical model is used to investigate the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer in a valley that opens either on a wider valley (draining configuration) or on a narrower valley (pooling ... -
Energy absorption and bending stiffness in CFRP laminates : the effect of 45º plies
(2008-07)The impact characteristics of cross-ply and angle-ply composite laminates were investigated, with an instrumented impact drop tester by performing gravity-assisted drop tests on [0/90]6s and [0/45/90]4s laminates. The ... -
Energy and exergy analysis of solar dryer with triple air passage direction collector powered by a wind generator
(2022-05-26)The objective of this study is to thermodynamically investigate the performance of solar dryers by delaying the airflow in the collector. For this reason, a triple air path on a single pass collector with the fan powered ... -
Energy balance SED modelling can be effective at high redshifts regardless of UV-FIR offsets
(2023-10-01)Recent works have suggested that energy balance spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting codes may be of limited use for studying high-redshift galaxies for which the observed ultraviolet and far-infrared emission are ... -
Energy Consumption in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-04)Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are composed of moving mobile nodes that are battery operated. This paper proposes a set of performance metrics in evaluating energy efficiency in MANETs, and studies the energy consumption ... -
Energy Consumption in UK Households : Impact of Domestic Electrical Appliances
(1996-07)The social-psychological aspects of energy use in UK households have been reviewed. A major survey, which focused on identifying environmental attitudes and beliefs, energy-use hehaviour, ownership levels,for certain ... -
Energy density of the diet and change in body fatness from childhood to adolescence : is there a relation?
(2008)Background: The contribution of energy density (ED) of the total diet to increased risk of obesity from childhood into adolescence is unclear. Objective: We assessed the relation between the ED of the diet in childhood, ... -
Energy Disaggregation Using Elastic Matching Algorithms
(2020-01-06)In this article an energy disaggregation architecture using elastic matching algorithms is presented. The architecture uses a database of reference energy consumption signatures and compares them with incoming energy ... -
Energy Disaggregation Using Two-Stage Fusion of Binary Device Detectors
(2020-05-01)A data-driven methodology to improve the energy disaggregation accuracy during Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring is proposed. In detail, the method uses a two-stage classification scheme, with the first stage consisting of ... -

Energy Efficient Branch Prediction
(2010-06-30)Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance in modern high-performance embedded processor design. As the number of transistors on a chip continues to increase each year, and processor logic becomes ever more complex, ... -
Energy Efficient Relay Selection Algorithm for Virtual MIMO Cooperative Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-07-27)In this paper, we propose a distance based energy efficient multiple relay selection algorithm for cooperative virtual Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO). The fundamentals of this method is to forward the source signal ... -
Energy expenditure estimates in chronic kidney disease using a novel physical activity questionnaire
(2021-01-08)BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) levels are low in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), and associate with increased morbidity and mortality. Reliable tools to assess PA in CKD are scarce. We aimed to ... -
Energy Expenditure in Kidney Failure: Implications for Management
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-05)Renal replacement therapy, in the form of dialysis or transplantation, is the cornerstone of management for end-stage renal disease. UK renal registry shows nearly half of those needing renal replacement therapy are treated ...
