In the present study, magnetic core-shell manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MCMNP) were synthesized and used for construction of a magnetic core-shell manganese ferrite nanoparticles modified screen-printed carbon electrode (MCSNP-SPCE). Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the electrochemical behavior of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and its determination was conducted by applying square wave voltammetr...

Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active remote-sensing instrument that provides day-andnight, all-weather, broad-area imaging capabilities at high resolutions. Recently available space-borne SAR platforms enable a growing number of applications in movement detection, ice monitoring, encroachment monitoring, subsidence monitoring, and target recognition, just to name a few. C-CORE...

In this paper, we describe a new technique for the automatic orientation of bedding in drill core from digital images. Images are planar pictures of the drill core, and we show that it is possible to determine layer orientation without rotating the core on the full circumference. More precisely, we show that angle information can be extracted by applying image processing and a mathematical desc...

The relationships between thermal conductivity and other petrophysical properties have been analysed for a borehole drilled in a Tertiary Flysch sequence. We establish equations that permit us to predict rock thermal conductivity from logging data. A regression analysis of thermal conductivity, bulk density, and sonic velocity yields thermal conductivity with an average accuracy of better than ...

A study is reported into strategic IS planning (SISP) in UK organisations. The core data is derived from 70 UK organisations across private and public sectors. The study developed prior work by Earl (1993) and Segars & Grover (1999) who found that organisations used a small number of SISP approaches each with differing levels of success. This study broadly confirmed these earlier findings but s...

In this paper, we consider the design of a new metadata format to advance scholarly communication over the Internet. This format is designed to be used within the Open Archives Initiative. It is based on work by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative and others. We present a requirements analysis and then propose a conceptual framework for the metadata. We examine metadata quality control and asse...

In this paper, we consider Chebyshev–Legendre Pseudo-Spectral (CLPS) method for solving coupled viscous Burgers (VB) equations. A leapfrog scheme is used in time direction, while CLPS method is used for space direction. Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobatto (CGL) nodes are used for practical computation. The error estimates of semi-discrete and fully-discrete of CLPS method for coupled VB equations are obtai...

This paper investigates the influence the decline in the family size on household size through a Chinese family planning policy, the One-Child Policy (OCP). I find the evidence of the negative effect at the micro level using Chinese household survey data. I also study the aggregated effect using Chinese provincial level data. With the concern of endogeneity, I use a two-stage least square regre...

In this paper, we investigate methods for automated localization of leaks and dumps in an open channel flow. We propose a framework under which we solve this important system health monitoring problem by using a network of level sensors and estimation algorithms. We first discuss numerical techniques for simulating a channel with leaks or dumps. We then give results of a multiple-model estimati...

While vortex region quantities are Galilean invariant, most methods for extracting vortex cores depend on the frame of reference. We present an approach to extracting vortex core lines independently of the frame of reference by extracting ridge and valley lines of Galilean invariant vortex region quantities. We discuss a generalization of this concept leading to higher dimensional features. For...
