Comprehensive quality control information system is effectively used to plan, perform, track and evaluate quality control related laboratory activities and some other chemistry duties. This system allows to the performing of the following functions:-Recording of non-standardized samples.-Recording of analytical procedures.-Recording of calibration results.-Calculation of analytical errors.-Auto...

The Infrared Sea surface temperature Autonomous Radiometer (ISAR) was specifically developed for the validation of satellite SSTskin temperature data products, in particular for the Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR). Two ISAR instruments have, since March 2004, been deployed on a continuous (one on, one off) basis on the P&O ferry M/V Pride of Bibao, which sails between Portsmout...

The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...

Among the general requirements to accredit a radon measuring service, outlined in the international standards as EN ISO/IEC 17025, the technical requirements play the main role in the quality assurance of a testing service. The reliability of the assessment of the radon air concentration in workplaces and dwelling is determined by many factors the most important being the physical measuring met...

We report on our extended research on GymSkill, a smartphone system for comprehensive physical exercising support, from sensor data logging, activity recognition to on-top skill assessment, using the phone’s built-in sensors. In two iterations, we used principal component breakdown analysis (PCBA) and criteria-based scores for individualized and personalized automated feedback on the phone, wit...

The HRD real-time wind analysis system is currently undergoing evaluation in the operational forecasting environment of the National Hurricane Center. The system is an object-oriented, distributed, three-tiered client—server application that assimilates disparate observations and processes the data into a common framework for exposure, height and averaging time. The data are then examined colle...

Values-based indicators of risks to Indigenous health have the potential to improve the accuracy and quality of a wide range of decisions affecting Native lands and cultures. Current health impact assessment approaches often omit important health priorities rooted in the history, social structures, and cultural context of Indigenous communities. Insights and methods from the decision sciences c...

The decomposition of a music audio signal into its vocal and backing track components is analogous to image-toimage translation, where a mixed spectrogram is transformed into its constituent sources. We propose a novel application of the U-Net architecture — initially developed for medical imaging — for the task of source separation, given its proven capacity for recreating the fine, low-level ...
