Abstract A set of mono-disperse aerosol generator was designed to meet the requirement efficiency testing for high particle air filter. The generation tests and performance were conducted by using evaporation–condensation method, with NaCl solutions at different concentrations as condensation nucleus respectively DEHS, DOP, PAO–4 reagents. results show that three reagents can generate particles...

The goal of an estimator is to approximate the unknown distribution of the language from its partial evidence. In this thesis, a rank consistent estimator is defined as an estimator that preserves the ranking frequencies of all the full parse trees in the treebank proved to be rank consistent with respect to the training treebank. The rank consistency property adopts Laplace’s Principle of Insu...

We work throughout in a finite relational language L. This paper is built on [2] and [3]. We repeat some of the basic notions and results from these papers for the convenience of the reader but familiarity with the setup in the first few sections of [3] is needed to read this paper. Spencer and Shelah [6] constructed for each irrational α between 0 and 1 the theory T α as the almost sure theory...

We show how the DOP model can be used for fast and robust processing of spoken input in a practical spoken dialogue system called OVIS. OVIS, Openbaar Vervoer Informatie Systeem ("Public Transport Information System"), is a Dutch spoken language information system which operates over ordinary telephone lines. The prototype system is the immediate goal of the NWO 1 Priority Programme "Language a...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of carbon-containing compounds. The low-molecular weight (LMW) fraction constitutes thousands different compounds and represents substantial proportion DOM in aquatic ecosystems. turnover rates this LMW can be extremely high. Due to the challenges measuring pool at molecular scale, comparatively little known fate lotic systems. This study addr...

In this study, the structural reliability of plate-stiffened prismatic pressure vessels was analyzed over time. A analysis performed using a time-dependent method based on response surface (RSM). The vessel had rectangular cross-section with repeated internal load-bearing structures. For analysis, structure modeled as strip, and to identify changes in index when general corrosion pitting occurr...

INTRODUCTIONPCR-based whole-genome amplification (WGA) has the goal of generating microgram quantities of genome-representative DNA from picogram or nanogram amounts of starting material. This amplification should introduce little, or ideally no, representational bias. Unlike other techniques for WGA, PCR-based methods are generally less affected by DNA quality and are more applicable to DNA ex...

C appreciate that there is interplay between the actions of the different subtypes of receptor and hence the value of drugs which target multiple receptor subtypes. Abstract The opioid system comprises four receptor subtypes: m (MOP), k (KOP), d (DOP), now called the ‘classical’ opioid receptors, and the ‘non classical’ nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (N/OFQ) receptor (NOP). Selective endogenous...
