Garnet-type solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are a remarkable Li-ion electrolyte for the realization of next-generation all-solid-state lithium batteries due to their excellent stability against Li metal as well high ionic conductivities at room temperature. However, garnet always contain undesired and hardly removable Li2CO3 contaminations that have persistently large resistance unstable interf...

Some psyllids transmit 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' (Lso), the causal agent of devastating plant diseases cultivated Solanaceae and Apiaceae. The recent detection Bactericera cockerelli Lso in Ecuador seriously threatens these crops South America. There, neither role native epidemiology nor psyllid fauna vegetables are known. With aim to identify potential vectors risk scenarios for s...

BACKGROUND Pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma and meningioma are common sellar lesions, accounting for more than 90% of sellar tumors. The aim of this study is to assess the reliability and safety of the lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach to remove sellar tumors. METHODS Between June 2011 and December 2011, 23 patients with neoplastic lesions underwent surgery by the corresponding author (...

The balance between inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters contributes to the control of normal functioning of the auditory brainstem. Changes in the level of neuronal activity within the auditory brainstem pathways influence the balance between inhibition and excitation. Activity-dependent plasticity in the auditory pathways can be studied by creating a large decrease in activi...

Interaural level differences (ILDs) provide salient cues for localizing high-frequency sounds in space, and populations of neurons that are sensitive to ILDs are found at almost every synaptic level from brain stem to cortex. These cells are predominantly excited by stimulation of one ear and predominantly inhibited by stimulation of the other ear, such that the magnitude of their response is d...

This paper introduces a novel physical-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called “Light Spectrum Optimizer (LSO)” for continuous optimization problems. The inspiration the proposed is light dispersions with different angles while passing through rain droplets, causing meteorological phenomenon of colorful rainbow spectrum. In order to validate algorithm, three experiments are conducted. First, LS...

The aim of this paper is to implement a sensorless indirect rotor-flux-oriented control (IRFOC) of induction motor (IM) drives. Indeed, the proposed method for speed estimation is based on Luenberger state observer (LSO). The adaptive rotor speed is actually derived from Lyapunov stability theory by using measured and estimated stator currents and estimated rotor flux. The proposed control sche...

Abstract. In this paper, we give an overview of the Locomotive Simulater/Optimizer (LSO) decision support system developed by us for railroads. This software is designed to imitate locomotive movement across a rail network, and it simulates all four major components of the system; trains, locomotives, terminals, and shops in an integrated framework. It includes about 20 charts that allow evalua...

A multi-objective linked simulation and optimization (LSO) model for a three dimensional saltwater intrusion problem has been developed. The LSO employs HST3D and Box’s algorithm. The weighting method of multi-objective optimization solves the multi-objective planning problem. The model is capable of determining the optimal pumping rates that minimize the saline concentration at the well sites,...
