Rotationally resolved spectra for the HfO(+) cation have been recorded using the pulsed field ionization zero electron kinetic energy (PFI-ZEKE) technique. Resonant excitation of the F(0(+))<--X (1)Sigma(+) band system of HfO was used as an intermediate level providing molecule and rovibrational state selectivity in the ionization process. The ionization energy (IE) of HfO, derived from the PFI...

We retrospectively evaluated predictive prognostic factors in 73 cats with vaccine-associated sarcoma given postsurgical curative (n = 46, most with clean margins) or coarse fractionated radiotherapy (n = 27, most with either macroscopic disease or dirty margins). The former animals displayed a median survival of 43 months and a median progression free interval (PFI) of 37 months, the latter re...

Soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ) pulping of barley straw was used to obtain cellulosic pulps for papermaking purposes. The identified parameters, or variables to be optimized, were operating time, anthraquinone concentration, and PFI refiner revolutions, and the influence of these operating variables on pulp properties was studied. A polynomial model that reproduced the experimental results with er...

Injecting proppant to prop open fluid-driven fractures in subsurface reservoirs is one of the key missions hydraulic fracturing. However, quantitative evaluation distribution successfully propped limited due infeasibility direct measurement. This work defines an indexing parameter for field practice estimate proportion proppant-filled reservoir – filling index (PFI). A new data-driven workflow,...

Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a widely-used technology to inherit information from cumbersome teacher models compact student models, consequently realizing model compression and acceleration. Compared with image classification, object detection more complex task, designing specific KD methods for non-trivial. In this work, we elaborately study the behaviour difference between obtain two intrig...

The present study characterized Argulus spp. infecting the cultured carps using 18S rRNA gene sequences, estimated the genetic similarity among Argulus spp. and established their phylogenetic relationship. Of the 320 fish samples screened, 34 fish (10.6%) had Argulus infection. The parasitic frequency index (PFI) was observed to be high (20%) in Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Labeo bata. The f...

We have obtained rotationally resolved pulsed field ionization-photoelectron ~PFI-PE! spectra of O2 in the energy range of 16.0–18.0 eV, covering ionization transitions O2 (a Pu , v 50 – 18,J) ←O2(X Sg , v950,N9). Although these vibrational PFI-PE bands for O21(a Pu , v) have significant overlaps with those for O2 (X Pg) and O2 (A Pu), we have identified all O2 (a Pu , v 50 – 18) bands by simul...

Physical Fitness Index (PFI), of fifty Residential (Sainik) School children (Mean +/- SD, 13.18 +/- 0.48 yrs) and forty four Non-Residential school children (Mean +/- SD, 13.15 +/- 0.66 yrs) of Bijapur, Karnataka, was assessed by Harvard Step Test. Their height (cm), weight (kg), chest circumference (cm), and mid arm circumference (cm) were recorded as physical anthropometry. Body Mass Index (B...
