Animal fiber characterization and fiber loading effect on mechanical behaviors of sheep wool fiber reinforced polyester composites
(2020-12-06)
This study presents animal fiber characterization and the influence of various fiber loadings on mechanical properties of sheep hair fiber-reinforced polymer (SHFRP) composites. The sheep hair fibers (SHF) characterization ...
Blunting EU Regulation 1107/2009 : Following a regulation into a system of agricultural innovation
(2020-12-06)
This paper explores the role of regulation and legislation on influencing the development and diffusion of technologies and methods of crop production. To do this, the change in pesticide registration under European ...
Information Decomposition Based on Cooperative Game Theory
(2020-12-05)
We offer a new approach to the information decomposition problem in information theory: given a ‘target’ random variable co-distributed with multiple ‘source’ variables, how can we decompose the mutual information into a ...
Is it who you are or what you do? Insights for Mobility as a Service from research on a car club
(2020-12-05)
The concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is for a personalised, one-stop travel management platform digitally unifying trip purchase and delivery across all transport modes. MaaS has potential to reduce the environmental ...
Dysregulation of TRPV4, eNOS and caveolin-1 contribute to endothelial dysfunction in the streptozotocin rat model of diabetes
(2020-12-05)
Endothelial dysfunction is a common complication in diabetes in which endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation is impaired. The aim of this study was to examine the involvement of the TRPV4 ion channel in type 1 diabetic ...
Coverage Probability of Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-12-04)
Despite that ongoing and future networks become denser and increasingly irregular, prior works in the area of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mMIMO) systems relied on the strong assumption of uniformly ...
3D Hydrodynamic Simulations of Large-Scale Precessing Jets : Radio Morphology
(2020-12-04)
The prospect of relativistic jets exhibiting complex morphologies as a consequence of geodetic precession has long been hypothesised. We have carried out a 3D hydrodynamics simulation study varying the precession cone ...
Transport and Retrieval on ECMO: Setup and Activities of an Immersive Transport and Retrieval on ECMO Workshop
(2020-12-03)
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used for acute severe refractory cardiac and/or respiratory failure. An increasing number of patients are treated with ECMO ...
Seasonally stable temperature gradients through supraglacial debris in the Everest region of Nepal, Central Himalaya
(2020-12-03)
Rock debris covers about 30% of glacier ablation areas in the Central Himalaya and modifies the impact of atmospheric conditions on mass balance. The thermal properties of supraglacial debris are diurnally variable but ...
Is the Urine Cannabinoid Level Measured via a Commercial Point-of-Care Semiquantitative Immunoassay a Cannabis Withdrawal Syndrome Severity Predictor?
(2020-12-03)
Background: For cannabis-dependent subjects, the relationship between cannabis withdrawal syndrome (CWS) severity and the urine cannabinoid concentrations are unclear; we investigated this using a commercial point-of-care ...
