23Na MAS, 2D nutation MAS, and DOR NMR spectroscopy has been applied to characterise the location of sodium cations in dehydrated zeolite NaX (Si/Al = 1.23). The 23Na MAS NMR spectra recorded at three different magnetic field strengths were decomposed by computer simulation into five lines, which were attributed to five crystallographically distinct cation sites known from X-ray diffraction stu...

The latest version of the ISO 26262 standard from 2016 represents the state of the art for a safety-guided development of safety-critical electric/electronic vehicle systems. These vehicle systems include advanced driver assistance systems and vehicle guidance systems. The development process proposed in the ISO 26262 standard is based upon multiple V-models, and defines activities and work pro...

The bitterness of bitter substances can be measured by the change in the membrane electric potential caused by adsorption (CPA) using a taste sensor (electronic tongue). In this study, we examined the relationship between the CPA value due to an acidic bitter substance and the amount of the bitter substance adsorbed onto lipid/polymer membranes, which contain different lipid contents, used in t...

Polar molecules in high-field seeking states cannot be trapped in static traps as Maxwell’s equations do not allow a maximum of the electric field in free space. It is possible to generate an electric field that has a saddle point by superposing an inhomogeneous electric field to an homogeneous electric field. In such a field, molecules are focused along one direction, while being defocused alo...

The reconstruction of deep in situ environment up to 95 °C and 70 MPa using water is critical for the fidelity testing Earth rocks. temperature pressure have strong coupling such an environment, which makes control very difficult. paper firstly presents design system core transfer (SERCT); secondly, problem high control, a pressure-temperature (P-T) interpolation algorithm based on iso–density ...

U.S. Day-Ahead Markets (DAMs) for wholesale electric power managed by Independent System Operators (ISOs) encompass more than 60% of U.S. generating capacity. The current design of these DAMs encourages a focus on decisions that minimize immediate net costs without explicit consideration of pre-DAM and post-DAM decision opportunities. This study proposes a practical DAM reformulation that enabl...

Molecular separation technologies such as gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry detection have been the foundations of biomarker discovery. This is because medically significant biomarkers, for example in blood, can be as much as 10 fold less common than the most abundant protein, albumin and detecting these low abundance molecules requires high sensitivit...

ELECTEOCARDIOGRAPHIC changes after myocardial injury were first described exactly half a century ago when Eppinger and Rothberger, using an esophageal-rectal lead, noted the "disappearance of the valley between the R and T waves" in dogs which had received injections of 20 per cent silver nitrate solution into the left ventricle. Pardee, in 1920, was the first to note S-T segment changes in a p...

Abstract— When measured as a commodity, electric energy can be traded in a free market, synchronized only by the bids of customers and suppliers. With the beginning of deregulation in electricity sector, many Generation and Distribution Companies have come into the picture and change the vertically integrated organization of electric utilities. However, the combined transmission system is measu...

Quantitative and qualitative techniques for assessment of the intrathecal humoral immune response in human African trypanosomiasis were compared, and their diagnostic potential for detection of the meningo-encephalitic stage of the disease was evaluated. Total and trypanosome specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM intrathecal synthesis were studied in paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood...
