Hybrid hadron-quark equations of state that give rise a third family stable compact stars have been shown to be compatible with the LIGO-Virgo event GW170817. Stable configurations in are called hybrid stars. The equilibrium star branch is separated by neutron unstable end-state these has not studied, yet, and it could implications for formation existence twin -- same mass as but different radi...

The European Space of Higher Education convergence has stressed the importance of a potentially systemic shift in paradigms, away from what has been labelled the "instruction paradigm" towards the "learning paradigm", i.e. shifting the interest from the teacher to the student, thus leading to pedagogical implications which imply that teachers reflect upon their methodologies of teaching, evalua...

The massive integration of renewable energy sources and power electronics into the grid leads to strong need real-time Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) simulation system using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform due its high efficiency superior performance. FPGA based EMT simulations – A key for Digital Twin were mainly on Single-Precision calculations, but ignored potential ac...

The local actuation of a magnetic shape memory (MSM) element as used in an MSM micropump is considered. This paper presents the difference between electromagnetic driver and that uses rotating permanent magnet. For field energy drive, takes significant stray field. In particular case, reduction was 12.7 mJ. drive with identical size element, total created by system 2.28 Attempts to experimental...

In the last twenty years, many algorithms and heuristics were developed to find solutions in constraint networks. Their number increased to such an extent that it quickly became necessary to compare their performances in order to propose a small number of “good” methods. These comparisons often led us to consider FC or FC-CBJ associated with a “minimum domain” variable ordering heuristic as the...

A combined application of independent component analysis and projective filtering of the time-aligned ECG beats is proposed to solve the problem of fetal ECG extraction from multi-channel maternal abdominal electric signals. The developed method is employed to process the four-channel abdominal signals recorded during twin pregnancy. The signals are complicated mixtures of the maternal ECG, the...

We used quantitative genetics techniques to compare the entrepreneurial activity of 870 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 857 pairs of same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twins from the United Kingdom. We ran model-fitting analyses to estimate the genetic, shared environmental and nonshared environmental effects on the propensity of people to become entrepreneurs. We found relatively high heritabilities for en...

This study investigated the influence of genetic factor and personality on leadership role occupancy among a sample of male twins. Identical twins (n =238) who share 100% of their genetic background were compared with fraternal twins (n =188) who are expected to share only 50% of their genetic background. Results indicated that 30% of the variance in leadership role occupancy could be accounted...

Reliable and accurate veri!cation of people is extremely important in a number of business transactions as well as access to privileged information. Automatic veri!cation methods based on physical biometric characteristics such as !ngerprint or iris can provide positive veri!cation with a very high accuracy. However, the biometrics-based methods assume that the physical characteristics of an in...
