HVDC links between North Africa and Europe: Impacts and benefits on the dynamic performance of the European system
(2018-02-01)
In the last decade, there have been several initiatives for the deployment of cross-Mediterranean HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) links to enable the transmission of electrical power from renewable energy sources between ...
A Radio Continuum Study of Dwarf Galaxies : 6 cm imaging of Little Things
(2018-02-01)
In this paper, we examine to what extent the radio continuum can be used as an extinction-free probe of star formation in dwarf galaxies. To that aim, we observe 40 nearby dwarf galaxies with the Very Large Array at 6 cm ...
Real-Time Communication Network Using Firebase Cloud IoT Platform for ECMO Simulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-02-01)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-complexity life-saving procedure where quick and coordinated interventions are required to avoid mortality. ECMO perfusionists and nurses must be well trained to respond ...
Weathering a violent storm together – Witnessing and co-constructing meaning in collaborative engagement with those experiencing psychosis-related challenges
(2018-02-01)
The experience of psychosis can sweep into a life like a violent storm. In this paper, I first attempt to fully imagine the experience of such a storm by drawing on first person accounts and then consider the clinical ...
Assessing the applicability of terrestrial laser scanning for mapping englacial conduits.
(2018-02-01)
The morphology of englacial drainage networks and their temporal evolution are poorly characterised, particularly within cold ice masses. At present, direct observations of englacial channels are restricted in both spatial ...
A 0.1–5.0 GHz flexible SDR receiver with digitally assisted calibration in 65 nm CMOS
(2018-02-01)
A 0.1–5.0 GHz flexible software-defined radio (SDR) receiver with digitally assisted calibration is presented, employing a zero-IF/low-IF reconfigurable architecture for both wideband and narrowband applications. The ...
On the ballast-sleeper interaction in the longitudinal and lateral directions
(2018-02-01)
In service, railway tracks must withstand the transverse and longitudinal forces that are caused by running vehicles and thermal loads. The mechanical design that adopts any of the track models available in the technical ...
A comparison of methods to assess the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticle combinations on bacterial cells
(2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Bacterial cell quantification after exposure to antimicrobial compounds varies widely throughout industry and healthcare. Numerous methods are employed to quantify these antimicrobial effects. With increasing ...
An investigation into the nutritional composition and cost of gluten-free versus regular food products in the UK
(2018-02-01)
Background: The gluten-free (GF) food market has expanded considerably, although there is limited comparative evidence for the nutritional quality and cost of GF food products. The present study aims to compare the nutrient ...
