Electric vehicles (EVs) are advancing the transport sector towards a robust and reliable carbon-neutral future. Given this increasing uptake of EVs, electrical grids power networks faced with challenges distributed energy resources, specifically charge discharge requirements electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI). Simultaneously, rapid digitalisation EVs has led to generation large volumes data ...

The performance of many comm. systems could be improved if the transmission channel was estimated blindly, i.e. without training sequences. As an example, we investigate in this paper whether, on GSM conditions, the blind channel estimation method EVI (EIGENVECTOR APPROACH TO BLIND IDENTIFICATION) can compete with the non-blind least squares scheme based on the cross-correlation. For Gaussian s...

In this study we evaluated the potential of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) for monitoring gross primary productivity (GPP) across fifteen eddy covariance towers encompassing a wide variation in North American vegetation composition. The acrosssite relationship between MTCI and tower GPP was stronger than that between either the MODIS GPP ...

As text-messaging chatbots become increasingly “human”, it will be important to understand the personal interactions that users are seeking with a chatbot. What chatbot personalities are most compelling to young, urban users in India? To explore this question, we first conducted exploratory Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) studies with 14 users that simulated interactions with a hypothetical chatbot. We eval...

Drug resistance constitutes one of the main obstacles for clinical recovery of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Therefore, the treatment of AML requires new strategies, such as adding a third drug. To address whether GATA2 could act as a regulator of chemotherapy resistance in human leukemia cells, we observed KG1a cells and clinical patients' AML cells with a classic drug (Cerubidine) an...

A retrospective review of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2002 to 2014. Of 394,504 octogenarian patients, 184,926 (47%) underwent surgical revascularization and 209,578 (53%) endovascular intervention (EVI). Multivariate analysis revealed that EVI group had significantly lower in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, acute kidney injury, limb amputation compared w...

Although several types of satellite data provide temporal information of the land use at no cost, digital satellite data applications for agricultural studies are limited compared to applications for forest management. This study assessed the suitability of vegetation indices derived from the TERRA-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor and SPOT-VEGETATION (VGT) sensor for...
