This study aims to investigate the near-infrared spectral properties of Rose Oxide (4-Methyl-2-(2-methyl-1-propenyl) tetrahydropyran) in wine, establish a quantitative detection, and build relationships between chemical groups characteristic bands, so as provide ideas references for detection low-content aroma substance wine. In total, 133 samples with different wine matrices were analyzed usin...

Large scale air pollution models are powerful tools, designed to meet the increasing demand in different environmental studies. The atmosphere is the most dynamic component of the environment, where the pollutants can be moved quickly on far distnce. Therefore the air pollution modeling must be done in a large computational domain. Moreover, all relevant physical, chemical and photochemical pro...

BACKGROUND Large-scale vaccination programmes have been carried out for a long time in Sweden, as in many other countries. However, often little is known of the effects of these vaccinations. During 1990 and 1991 a survey of immunity based on a random adult population sample was carried out. The main purpose was to estimate the level of immunity to diphtheria, tetanus and polio of the adult pop...

Abstract We introduce multi-branch repeater laser stations (MLSs) for the dissemination of an ultra-stable signal from one point to multiple users and simultaneous evaluation stability accuracy links. perform study noise floor this new instrument. present then optical fiber network 4800 km built with three MLSs 13 (RLSs). show multi-user frequency on four links totalizing 2198 uncertainties bel...

The space radiation environment imposes increased dangers of exposure to ionizing radiation, particularly during a solar particle event. These events consist primarily of low-energy protons that produce a highly inhomogeneous depth-dose distribution. Here we describe a novel technique that uses pencil beam scanning at extended source-to-surface distances and range shifter (RS) to provide robust...

The '3-second rule' has been proposed based on miscellaneous observations that a time period of around 3 seconds constitutes the fundamental unit of time related to the neuro-cognitive machinery in normal humans. The aim of paper was to investigate the temporal processing in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) and SCA31, pure cerebellar types of spinocerebellar degeneration, usin...

This paper presents findings from a six-year research programme underway in New Zealand to develop strategies for improving the resilience of organisations to major crisis events. The research takes a systems view of organisations, recognising that there are multiple interdependencies within and between different organisations that influence their abilities to respond and recover. This means th...
