We use chemical equilibrium calculations to model the speciation of alkalis and halogens in volcanic gases emitted on Io. The calculations cover wide temperature (500-2000 K) and pressure (10 to 10 bars) ranges, which overlap the nominal conditions at Pele (T = 1760 K, P = 0.01 bars). About 230 compounds of 11 elements (O, S, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, F, Cl, Br, I) are considered. The elemental abunda...

This paper present simulation-based results on the impact of transmitter (Tx) position and orientation uncertainty accuracy visible light positioning (VLP) system based received signal strength (RSS). There are several constraining factors for RSS-based algorithms, particularly due to multipath channel characteristics set-up uncertainties. The Tx uncertainties error performance is studied, assu...

The present study is intended to develop a Preventive Maintenance (PM) policy for industrial applications, while considering two different objectives: the first objective is to optimize the total maintenance costs, i.e., the Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Emergency Maintenance (EM) Costs Per Unit Time. (CPUT). The second objective is to design the policy in such a way that the simplicity of it...

Temperature inversions in mainland France are computed using a network of 859 sampling sites spread as evenly possible across the country. Each site comprises high station located within 30 km low with which it is paired. We use daily minimum (tn) and maximum (tx) temperatures from Météo-France weather stations over 10 years (2008–2017). The time variations three inversion characteristics (freq...

Differential effects of propylthiouracil (PTU), methimazole (MMI) and thyroidectomy (Tx) on liver and plasma proteins have been studied in rats, some of which have been simultaneously treated with L-thyroxine (T4). Although the absolute liver weights were lower in all hypothyroid groups, the relative liver weights (g/100 g) were significantly higher in PTU and MMI groups, while in Tx group they...

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is an emerging and promising form of catheter ablation for the treatment arrhythmias. Open questions remain regarding optimal magnitude & composition energy delivery, electrode designs, chronic lesion performance various safety aspects. We report on first animal data from a Novel PFA Catheter in Swine Model. Six animals were treated with novel variable diameter, 8 sp...

We studied the oxidation of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in the marine boundary layer (MBL) with a onedimensional numerical model and focused on the influence of halogens. Our model runs show that there is still significant uncertainty about the end products of the DMS addition pathway, which is especially caused by uncertainty in the product yield of the reaction of the intermediate product methyl su...
