The paper focuses on bio®lms subject to turbulent ̄ow and high liquid velocity (of the order of 1 m s) which can be found in heat exchangers, water distribution systems and in some wastewater reactors. An overall model describing bio®lm development is presented, which includes the effects of biomass detachment due to the hydrodynamic forces. A methodology for estimating substrate consumption fr...

Ultra-thin chips of less than 20 lm become flexible, allowing integration of silicon IC technology with highly flexible electronics such as food packaging sensor systems or healthcare and sport monitoring tags as wearable patches or even directly in clothing textile. The ultra-thin chips in these products will be bent to a very high curvature, which puts a large strain on the chips during use. ...

This report describes a study project done at the Rudolf Magnus Institute (RMI) in the eld of neural network development. The goal of this study is to develop a neural network that is able to automatically classify rat behaviour from video. This project was started because of the great di erences in perception and classi cation of rat behaviour between human observers. Chapter 1 consists of a g...

The control of malaria is challenged by resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to multiple drugs. New combination regimens are now advocated for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria, but the extent of resistance to newer agents is incompletely understood. We measured the in vitro sensitivity of P. falciparum parasites cultured from children enrolled in a drug efficacy trial in Kampala...

Objetivo Analizar los factores asociados a la lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) en mujeres del Perú según ENDES-2019. Métodos Se hizo un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, analítico y de corte transversal. La muestra conformaron 4 212 mujeres, 15 49 años, con hijo menor 6 meses. En el análisis inferencial, asociación se evaluó por razón prevalencia cruda (RPc). Por medio modelo regresión Poi...

Let X be a dcpo and let L be a complete lattice. The family σL(X) of all Scott continuous mappings from X to L is a complete lattice under pointwise order, we call it the L-fuzzy Scott structure on X. Let E be a dcpo. A mapping g : σL(E) −> M is called an LM-fuzzy possibility valuation of E if it preserves arbitrary unions. Denote by πLM(E) the set of all LM-fuzzy possibility valuations of E. T...

We explore practical methods of carrying out Lagrange Multiplier tests for variance components in two models in which the derivatives needed for the test are identically zero at the restricted estimates, the random effects probit model and the stochastic frontier model. The techniques are illustrated with two applications.
