Renewable electrical energy grid connection is
hampered by transmission capacity limitations and public
opposition to new transmission development. This paper
presents a methodology to find the optimal positions on ...
There is a trend towards reducing heating and cooling requirements of buildings by using high levels of
insulation, minimizing thermal bridging, and ensuring excellent air tightness, together with the operation of ...
In this paper, statistics-based experimental design with response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effect of operation conditions on photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of fulvic acid (FA) using a ...
A gravel-based tidal flow reed bed system was operated with three different strategies in order to investigate its optimal performance for the treatment of high strength agricultural wastewaters. According to the three ...
Non-Negative matrix factorization (NMF) has emerged as an important technique for simplifying high-dimension data into interpretable factors. NMF has the attractive characteristic that the factor matrices are naturally ...
We have demonstrated an efficient extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source at 6.7 nm by irradiating Gd targets with 0.8 and 1.06 μm laser pulses of 140 fs to 10 ns duration. Maximum conversion efficiency of 0.4% was observed within ...
The national non-domestic rate was introduced in 1990 to replace a system of locally varying business rates which had lasted for almost four centuries. Five years after the 1990 reforms, this report evaluates the operation ...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is of particular relevance to those who may suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and, of course, their carers. The slow but progressive nature of the disease, together with its ...
When measuring health inequality using ordinal data, analysts typically must choose between indices specifically based upon ordinal data and more standard indices using ordinal data which has been transformed into cardinal ...
New sal2(trien) ligands that contain alkoxy substituents of various length in meta position of the salicyl entities were coordinated to electronically and magnetically active iron(III) and cobalt(III) centers. The ...
'Mushroom stones', or 'wave stones', are limestone erratics or protruding bedrock that shows signs of erosion or dissolution suggestive of prolonged exposure to standing water. Fifty-three stones in the central lowlands ...
Ostrowski showed that there are intimate connections between the gap structure of a Taylor series and the behaviour of its partial sums outside the disk of convergence. This paper investigates the corresponding problem for ...
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a profound vision of computing power that is invisibly embedded into the fabric of everyday life. It is accessible through intelligent interfaces which are so natural that they can be used ...
Bang-bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs) are inherently nonlinear systems due to the binary phase detector (BPD). While they are typically used for clock and data recovery, the ongoing trend toward digital loop implementations ...
The Investment Development Path (IDP) hypothesis holds that a country’s net outward
direct investment position is systematically related to its level of economic development.
Ireland is an interesting test case because ...
Algorithms based on simple one-dimensional stage–discharge models for compound channels have been developed and tested for overbank flow data from the UK Flood Channel Facility and the University of Ulster channel with ...
With the introduction of monetary union, the US Federal Reserve system has become a common reference point against which to compare the procedures and policies of the fledgling ECB. This paper provides a brief
overview ...
