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 Harvesting From Ambient Vibration For Remote Vibration Monitoring With A Self-powered Nanotube Based Sensor
(2011)Harvesting energy from ambient vibration in the context of supplying power to a sensor for remote vibration monitoring is presented in this paper. The sensor is powered by the same vibration that is being measured. A ... -
Energy harvesting from suspension system using regenerative force actuators
(2013)In this paper harvesting vibration energy from suspension is investigated. Theoretical values for the harvested energy are calculated. Experimental evaluation of the energy is performed using vehicle road simulation ... -
Energy metabolism, body composition, and urea generation rate in hemodialysis patients
(2013-10-01)Hemodialysis (HD) adequacy is currently assessed using normalized urea clearance (Kt/V), although scaling based on Watson volume (V) may disadvantage women and men with low body weight. Alternative scaling factors such as ... -
Energy optimisation predicts the capacity of ion buffering in the brain
(2023-12-16)Neurons store energy in the ionic concentration gradients they build across their cell membrane.The amount of energy stored, and hence the work the ions can do by mixing, can be enhanced by the presence of ion buffers in ... -
Energy Policy at the crossroads: How Nord Stream 2 is challenging the Internal Energy Market
(Edinburgh Europa Institute, The University of Edinburgh., 2018-11-12)Nord Stream 2 is possibly one of the most debated and controversial topics in energy policy and it has been so since feasibility studies for this project started in 2011. According to the European Commission, ‘the Nord ... -
Energy regeneration from suspension dynamic modes and self-powered actuation
(2015-10-31)This paper concerns energy harvesting from vehicle suspension systems. The generated power associated with bounce, pitch and roll modes of vehicle dynamics is determined through analysis. The potential values of power ... -
Energy Separation for Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube: A short review
(2020-10-01)In this article, the development of the energy separation for the vortex tube has been briefly reviewed. This review mainly focuses on three aspects, they are the energy separation principle, the design criteria of vortex ... -
Energy Storage Optimisation in an Electric Power Grid
(2019-03)Energy storage is an essential part of energy supply to consumer demand from the grid. It plays a strategic role in the future development of flexible and reliable electricity systems. Energy storage systems allow excess ... -
The Enforcement of Contracts and Property Rights : Constitutive versus Epiphenomenal Conceptions of Law
(2003)This paper considers the status of laws and legal institutions in modern socio-economic systems, particularly those laws relating to property, contracts and trade. Are such laws mere reflections of other socio-economic ... -
Enfranchising the water consumer: lessons from England/Wales and Ireland
(2011-09)The following discussion is in response to the discussion article by Professor Richard Ashley concerning the below-mentioned paper published in the September 2010 edition of the Water and Environment Journal: Jenkins, J. ... -
Engaged but constrained. Assessing EU actorness in the case of Nord Stream 2
(2022-08-18)Despite helpful categorizations about the EU’s role in external energy governance, more analysis is needed on the factors likely to enable or constrain the EU’s actorness. This article builds on the theoretical framework ... -
Engagement with virtual learning environments : a case study across faculties
(2011)The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) at the University of Hertfordshire (UH) not only supports institutional and national strategies in learning and teaching, but represents a significant investment in capital. Studies ... -
