Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) based up-conversion is a promising strategy for light harvesting the low-energy tail of the solar spectrum with photovoltaic technologies. Here, we present a bi-component system for photon managing via TTA that allows bypassing the classical statistic limit of 2/5 in the singlet generation, achieving a near unitary conversion efficiency. This result is obtaine...

Two new dicyanamide bridged complexes [Mn(μ1,5-dca)2(salicyh)2]n (1) and {[Ni(μ1,5-dca)(TTA)](ClO4)}n (2) (dca = dicyanamide, ; salicyh = salicylic hydrazide; TTA = triethylenetetramine) have been synthesised and structurally characterised. Both the compounds 1 and 2 consist in 1-D coordination polymers. In 1 the manganese atoms are doubly bridged by μ1,5-dca ligands, whereas in 2 the nickel at...

Recent research has focused on the design of intelligent prosthetic ankle devices with the goal of adapting the behavior of the device to accommodate all walking surfaces that an individual encounters in daily life. One surface that is particularly difficult for persons with transtibial amputation (TTA) is uneven ground. Patients with TTA have an increased frequency of falling on uneven ground ...

The theoretical aspects of the linear chain method for numerical modelling nuclear transmutation systems, and particularly regarding trajectory analysis (TTA), are presented. background TTA method, as an advanced version with detailed description applied mathematical set-up graphical visualisation transformation chains, is shown. As was initially developed at AGH University Science Technology a...

OBJECTIVE to identify transient tone abnormalities and determine its prevalence in high risk infants and their cognitive outcome at 5 years. DESIGN prospective cohort observational study. SETTING high risk infants discharged from a level II neonatal unit in a 12 month period, and followed upto 5 years. METHODS High risk infants and normal controls were assessed for abnormalities of tone u...

Recently, we have described a regulatory system that allows the stringent control of individual gene activities in higher eukaryotic cell lines (1), in plants (2) and in animals (3,4). The essential components of this system are (i) an RNA polymerase II minimal promoter placed downstream of multiple operator sequences (tetO) of the Escherichia coli TnlO tetracycline resistance operon and (ii) a...

Abstract Aim The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on delays in diagnosis cancer has been highlighted at a national level. Such delay represents an ongoing source mortality and morbidity missing from statistics. This study examines investigation patients referred to urgent colorectal referral service single centre. Method Retrospective data was collated prospective database for all 1,894 referral...

This work presents a novel method for applying test-time augmentation (TTA) to tabular data. We used TTA along with an ensemble of 42 models achieve higher performance on the MIT Global Open Source Severity Illness Score dataset consisting 131,051 ICU visits and outcomes. achieved AUC 0.915 private test set (19,669 admissions) won first place at Stanford University's WiDS Datathon 2020 challeng...

In order to discern sake yeast, shochu yeast, and wine yeast, a specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was investigated. PCR products between shochu yeast strains and sake yeast weredistinguished by using a primer designed with an open reading frame of FLO5. Wine yeasts and most of other yeasts were distinguished by a primer designed with an open reading frame of YHR213W.However, PCR products...

A protocol processor is a programmable processor specifically designed to deal efficiently with protocols. The challenge in designing protocol processors is finding an architecture that is a good compromise between a general purpose processor and a custom, protocol-specific processor. We describe a methodology in which we design both a processor and a program for a network processing applicatio...
