Anthropogenic heat flux (QF) may be significant in cities, especially under low solar irradiance and at night. It is of interest to many practitioners including meteorologists, city planners and climatologists. QF estimates at fine temporal and spatial resolution can be derived from models that use varying amounts of empirical data. This study compares simple and detailed models in a European m...

Animal models implicate multiple mechanical factors in the initiation of exercise-induced muscle injury. Muscle injury has been widely studied in humans, but few data exist regarding the underlying cause of muscle injury. This study sought to examine the role of torque per active muscle volume in muscle injury. Eight subjects performed 80 electrically stimulated [via electromyostimulation (EMS)...

© 2009 Seung Hwan Lee et al. 481 This paper proposes a new multiuser scheduling algorithm that can simultaneously support a variety of different quality-of-service (QoS) user groups while satisfying fairness among users in the same QoS group in MIMO broadcast channels. Toward this goal, the proposed algorithm consists of two parts: a QoS-aware fair (QF) scheduling within a QoS group and an ante...

New results on various controversial light mesons are reviewed, including the glueball candidates fs(1720) and ~(1460), the 1 ++-O-+ mass " coincidences " fi(1285)-n(1275) and fi(1420)-q(1420), as well as evidence for the X(3100)+Ap+nx and the p(148O)+&r, which have quantum numbers not allowed for qq. The 77+W dfects move out of the threshold region with data on 77+wp. Statistically weak data o...

In this work, (1-x)Li2TiO3-xLi4NbO4F ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state ceramic route. With increase of Li4NbO4F content, phase structure transformed from ordered monoclinic to disordered cubic. By increasing Li3NbO4F temperature coefficient resonant frequency (τf) was successfully adjusted closer zero, while dielectric constant (εr) and microwave quality factor (Qf) decreas...
