Methanol has unique properties as a fuel, and partially premixed combustion has promising results with high engine efficiency and low emissions. Low load studies with methanol partially premixed combustion are scarce, and the effect of intake temperature on low load methanol partially premixed combustion still remains an intriguing question. This study aims to investigate the effect of intake temp

BackgroundEarly detection and treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB, resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin) is an urgent global priority. Identifying and tracing close contacts of patients with MDR-TB could be a feasible strategy to achieve this goal. However, there is limited experience with contact tracing among patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis both globally and in Ethio

Recent studies show that real-time precise user localization enables to deliver accurate beamforming in MIMO systems without the need for channel estimation. This paper presents new solutions for accurate user localization in massive MIMO LTE systems. A key novelty of the developed schemes is the ability to locate users during LTE's random access channel synchronization procedure before they are c

In the RB experiment at FAIR, charged particles with energies up to 600 MeV and forward boosted -rays with energies up to 20 MeV need to be detected in scattering experiments. Calorimeters for nuclear physics experiments of this kind, using relativistic radioactive ion beams, require high energy resolution and high efficiency for simultaneous detection of strongly Doppler shifted -rays and high-en

Genetic correlations for a trait across environments are predicted to decrease as environments diverge. However, estimates ofgenetic correlations from natural populations are typically defined across a limited environmental range and prone to very largestandard errors, making it difficult to test this prediction. We address the importance of environmental distance on genetic cor-relations by employiGenetic correlations for a trait across environments are predicted to decrease as environments diverge.

Fake medicines – illegal and substandard pharmaceuticals – have until now largely been a problem in low and middle-income countries. Ranging from lifestyle products to lifesaving medicines, such products are now also on the rise in the Western world. The spread is concerning, as fake medicines can be completely ineffective or extremely toxic.

Imitation dynamics for population games are studied and their asymptotic properties analyzed. In the considered class of imitation dynamics - that encompass the replicator equation as well as other models previously considered in evolutionary biology - players have no global information about the game structure, and all they know is their own current utility and the one of fellow players contacted

The IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Technical Committee on Networks and Communication Systems (TC-NCS) focuses on areas that involve the interplay among networks, communication, and systems control. The TC is organized into eight working groups, Control of Network Systems, Information Networks and Control, Networked Sensing and Sensor Networks, Optimization and Game Theoretic Methods in Network

Biphasic systems formed by mixing of two polymers or a polymer and a salt in water can be used for separation of cells, membranes, viruses, proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. The partitioning between the two phases is dependent on the surface properties and conformation of the materials, and also on the composition of the two-phase system. The mechanism of partitioning is, however, c

The use of computer-assisted instruction in medical education has increased steadily in the last decade with the availability of personal computers. Many computer-assisted instruction programs train the user to handle various forms of disease or injury. Our intent was to provide medical students with more experience in managing ophthalmological emergencies, and we therefore designed a computerized
