We present the first ever measurements of femtoscopic correlations between the KS 0 and K± particles. The analysis was performed on the data from Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV measured by the ALICE experiment. The observed femtoscopic correlations are consistent with final-state interactions proceeding via the a0(980) resonance. The extracted kaon source radius and correlation strength paramete

Radial GaInP/AlGaInP nanowire array light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are promising candidates for novel high-efficiency solid state lighting due to their potentially large strain-free active emission volumes compared to planar LEDs. Moreover, by proper tuning of the diameter of the nanowires, the fraction of emitted light extracted can be significantly enhanced compared to that of planar LEDs. Reports

The increased demand for high purity nanoparticles (NPs) of defined geometry necessitates the continuous development of generation routes. One of the most promising physical techniques for producing metal, semiconductor or alloy NPs in the gas phase is spark discharge NP generation. The technique has a great potential for up-scaling without altering the particles. Despite the simplicity of the set

An increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings has led to an increasing focus on predicted energy performance once a building is in use. Many studies have identified a performance gap between predicted energy use and actual measured energy use once buildings are in the user phase. However, none of the identified studies normalise measured energy use for both internal and external deviating bo

Graphical user interface (GUI) development is generally complicated, time-consuming, and requires programming knowledge. In the context of the internet of things, this work focuses on producing an efficient development approach that also supports non-experts. We introduce a novel "inverted" development approach that does not require program code to be written - a step towards supporting end-user d

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the beneficial effect of early mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK)1/2 inhibition administered at a clinical relevant time-point using the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model and a dedicated rodent magnetic resonance imaging system (9.4T) to monitor cerebrovascular changes non-invasively for 2 weeks. Method: Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was

Anthropological field studies of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in their unique cultural and political contexts.Cultures of Doing Good: Anthropologists and NGOs serves as a foundational text to advance a growing subfield of social science inquiry: the anthropology of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Thorough introductory chapters provide a short history of NGO anthropology, address how

Book chapter about the linking that is often made in popular media of creativity - frequently through examples from art history - and neurological disease. The chapter discusses the implications this linking may have for the dissemination of ideas about personality traits, artistic expression, neurological disease and neuroscience as a discipline.

The chapter investigates how one specific collaboration between a fashion conglomerate (Louis Vuitton) and a contemporary artist (Takashi Murakami) exemplifies a wider phenomenon of the ways in which brands curate artists to fit their own needs. Central to the chapter is the discussion about why and to what ends curation of art has become important for fashion brands in their branding efforts.

This study investigates, over an 18-month period surrounding the 2016 Brexit referendum, the commenting activity of nearly 2 million Facebook users engaging with political news from British media or with the posts of referendum campaigns. We ask whether citizens’ engagement with political news on Facebook motivates their participation with political campaign posts, and we examine whether users com

The main purpose has been to evaluate existing set points (thresholds) and suggest proper set points, for the regulation of the air change rate in a demand controlled mechanical ventilation (DCV) system. The DCV is controlled by measurements in the supply and exhaust air of the vapor content and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for each dwelling in multifamily houses.

Power electronics result in increased harmonic distortion, but can also be used for harmonic mitigation. This requires simple, low order models for nonlinear networks. The Harmonic Norton Equivalent is a load model structure that supports aggregation of nonlinear loads, and makes nonlinear network solving (i.e. simulation) a non-iterative procedure. It is a linearized description of the relation b
