Six growing pigs (30-75 kg) were fed on semi-purified diets containing either 30 g maize oil/kg diet (LFM), 30 g soya-bean oil-tallow mixture (1:1, w/w)/kg diet (LFST) or 160 g soya-bean oil-tallow mixture (1:1, w/w)/kg diet (HFST) without and with the addition of guar gum (40 g/kg diet). Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations following twice daily feeding at 09.00 and 21.00 h were measured,...

In most existing indoor acoustic ranging systems, a range is estimated based on measuring the TOA of an ultrasonic wave. Due to high directivity of ultrasonic transducers and high attenuation of ultrasonic waves with distance in air, these systems cannot provide a range in large indoor environments. To achieve longer ranges, a TOA-based acoustic ranging system that uses a low frequency audible ...

Defocus of the reconstructed image of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) occurs in the presence of the phase error. In this work, a phase error correction method is proposed for compressed sensing (CS) radar imaging based on approximated observation. The proposed method has better image focusing ability with much less memory cost, compared to the conventional approaches, due to the inherent low mem...

The underpotential deposition (UPD) of Ag on an I-modified Au(111) surface is examined in perchloric acid solution by electrochemical lateral force microscopy (LFM). transitions ordered structures are observed as potential swept and normal load changes. At low load, the structural changes with indicate that iodine structure very sensitive to coverage silver. potentials positive 1st UPD peak, fo...

Energy ecosystems are under a significant transition. Local flexibility marketplaces (LFM) and platforms argued to have potential in contributing such The purpose of this study was answer the following research question: how do market conditions stakeholders shape emerging LFM platform governance choices? We approached objective with an exploratory single-case by conducting ten semi-structured ...

Abstract An integrated Real-time Luminous Facilities Management (Rt-LFM) system website has been developed, including hardware for data collection and software storage download instantly. Two lighting sensors (illuminance, color temperature) have combined into a single device measuring the continuous luminous in residential care homes. A wireless sensor network established through combination c...

Abstract Linear canonical transform (LCT) is a powerful tool for improving the detection accuracy of conventional Wigner distribution (WD). However, LCT free parameters embedded increase computational complexity. Recently, instantaneous cross-correlation function type WD (ICFWD), specific relevant to LCT, has shown be an outcome tradeoff between and In this paper, ICFWD applied detect noisy sin...
