In this article, ten organic dyes based on keto-coumarin (KC) derivatives (MeO-Coum1, MeO-Coum10) have been synthesized and characterized as high performance photoinitiators for the Free Radical Photopolymerization (FRP) of acrylates upon visible light exposure using a Light emitting diode (LED) @405 nm. The addition Iodonium salt (Iod), amine [ethyl dimethylaminobenzoate (EDB) or N-phenylglyci...

This study investigated the combined impacts of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on streamflow under four scenarios: neutral, pure ENSO, IOD, a combination ENSO IOD. The Jinsha River Basin (JRB), at head Yangtze River, was used as case study. By using statistical methods such coherent wavelet analysis (WTC), we are committed to studying what kind impact IOD will...

Local weather factors are widely considered to influence the transmission of infectious gastroenteritis. Few studies, however, have examined the non-stationary relationships between global climatic factors and transmission of infectious gastroenteritis. We analyzed monthly data for cases of infectious gastroenteritis in Fukuoka, Japan from 2000 to 2012 using cross-wavelet coherency analysis to ...

An INFORMATION ON DEMAND (IOD) Teleservice developed at the German National Research Center for Information Technology (GMD) provides remote access to multimedia information consisting of audio, video, and text. It uses a bidirectional narrowband message link between the end user and the service provider, and a unidirectional broadband data link from the service provider to the end user. Hypers...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occlusal force adjusting ability implant-supported overdenture (IOD) wearers, as compared with natural teeth and complete dentures. Methods: Subjects were those dentition (ND group; 19 subjects), overdentures (IOD 7 dentures (CD 14 subjects). asked hold test foods (peanuts biscuits mounted on a custom-made apparatus transducer) between thei...

A method to deal with uncertainties in initial orbit determination (IOD) is presented. This is based on the use of Taylor differential algebra (DA) to nonlinearly map the observation uncertainties from the observation space to the state space. When a minimum set of observations is available, DA is used to expand the solution of the IOD problem in Taylor series with respect to measurement errors...

Malaria resurgence in African highlands in the 1990s has raised questions about the underlying drivers of the increase in disease incidence including the role of El-Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, climatic anomalies other than the ENSO are clearly associated with malaria outbreaks in the highlands. Here we show that the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), a coupled ocean-atmosphere interactio...

Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors affect freshwater ecosystems worldwide. A prominent manifestation of climate impacts on aquatic systems at high latitudes is the advance ice-out date (IOD). Earlier IOD should be advantageous for species such as migratory waterbirds that are dependent open water to initiate breeding; earlier breeding usually means higher reproductive success. How...

The Internet-of-drones (IoD) environment is a layered network control architecture designed to maintain, coordinate, access, and drones (or Unmanned Aerial vehicles UAVs) facilitate drones’ navigation services. main entities in IoD are drones, ground station, external user. Before operationalizing drone IoD, infrastructure mandatory for securing its open channel (Flying Ad Hoc Networks FANETs)....
