Although originally designed by and for the use of the Neutron and X-ray communities, the flexibility of the NeXus data format makes it equally suitable for storing data gathered from µSR experiments. Furthermore, its use should open up the possibility of sharing software beyond the immediate muon community; giving access to the many tools that are already in existence for manipulating NeXus an...

SDG Target 4.6 requires that by 2030 Member States ‘ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy’ (WEF, 2016, p. 46). The principles, strategies and actions for this target are ‘underpinned by a contemporary understanding of literacy not as a simple dichotomy of “literate” versus “illiterate”, but as a continuum of proficiency l...

A correlation is made between the appearances of the nexus ("gap junction") as revealed by thin-section and by freeze-cleave electron microscopy techniques. These methods reveal different aspects of a complex subunit assembly forming the nexus membranes. In thin sections, the nexus is formed by the very close apposition of two "unit" membranes. The electron-opaque tracer, colloidal lanthanum hy...

A runtime system provides a parallel language compiler with an interface to the low-level facilities required to support interaction between concurrently executing program components. Nexus is a portable runtime system for taskparallel programming languages. Distinguishing features of Nexus include its support for multiple threads of control, dynamic processor acquisition, dynamic address space...

OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of the NEXUS II head trauma decision instrument to identify patients with clinically important intracranial injury (ICI) from among children with blunt head trauma. METHODS An analysis was conducted of the pediatric cohort involved in the derivation set of National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study II (NEXUS II), a prospective, observational, multicente...

The water-energy-food nexus is promoted as a new approach for research and policy-making. But what does the nexus mean in practice and what kinds of benefits does it bring? In this article we share our experiences with using a nexus approach in Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake area. We conclude that water, energy and food security are very closely linked, both in the Tonle Sap and in the transboundary...

14 15 Managers frequently face ill-structured or “wicked” prob16 lems. Such problems are characterized by a large degree of 17 uncertainty with respect to how the problem should be 18 approached and how to establish and evaluate the set of 19 alternative solutions. A design theory nexus is a set of 20 constructs and methods that enable the construction of models 21 that connect numerous design ...

With the rapid expansion of cities due to population growth and urbanization, conventional centralized wastewater collection treatment systems are slowly becoming a burden; expensive maintenance is required for aging plants piping infrastructure, cost expanding capacity cover demand from growth, new regulations tighter control over certain pollutants such as micropollutants. As an alternative t...
