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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The peptide-derived glyoxal inhibitor Z-Ala-Ala-Phe-glyoxal has been shown to be ~10 fold more effective as an inhibitor of subtilisin than Z-Ala-Pro-Phe-glyoxal. Signals at 107.2 p.p.m. and 200.5 p.p.m. are observed for ...
A series of palladium complexes were synthesized that comprise three sterically different C,N-bidentate coordinating NHC-pyridine ligands (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). In one set, the pyridine and the carbene are linked ...
DNA data embedding is a relatively recent area which aims at embedding arbitrary information in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands. One interesting application of DNA data embedding can be tracing pathways of genetic ...
Social services like Twitter are increasingly used to provide a conversational backdrop to real-world events in real-time. Sporting events are a good example of this and this year, millions of users tweeted their comments ...
Users of social bookmarking systems take advantage of pivot
browsing, an interaction technique allowing them to easily refine
lists of bookmarks through the selection of filter terms. However,
social bookmarking systems ...
The conference series on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare is one of the leading fora for research dissemination in this space. In May 2011, the most recent event took place in Ireland. A brief overview of ...
The photophysical properties of 2.3 nm thioglycolic acid (TGA) coated CdTe quantum dots (QDs) prepared by a reflux method have been studied in the presence of cationic meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl) zinc porphyrin ...
Photodeposition of metallic nanostructures onto ferroelectric surfaces is typically based on patterning local surface reactivity via electric field poling. Here, we demonstrate metal deposition onto substrates which have ...
The Stromelysin-1 catalytic domain83-247 (SCD) is stable for at least 16 hours at pHs 6.0-8.4. At pHs 5.0 and 9.0 there is exponential irreversible denaturation with half lives of 38 and 68 min respectively. At pHs 4.5 ...
Inadequate recovery from short-term, high-intensity bouts of exercise can be a limiting factor to optimal sporting performance [1]. Previous research investigating recovery from intense exercise using various intervention ...
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting genetic disease in Caucasians. [1] Progressive respiratory and gastro intestinal disease are the predominant clinical manifestations of the disease. As a consequence ...
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting genetic disease in caucasians.
Skeletal muscle weakness and exercise intolerance is prevalent in people with cystic fibrosis. Although higher levels of fitness have ...
Pervasive healthcare systems facilitate various aspects of research including sensor technology, software technology, artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. Researchers can often benefit from access to ...
