An accurate knowledge of the 3D distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere is a key element for weather forecasting and climate research. In addition, a precise determination of water vapor is also required for accurate positioning and deformation monitoring using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). Several approaches for 3D tomogr...

Shingled Write Disks (SWDs) increase the storage density by writing data in overlapping tracks. Consequently, data cannot be updated freely in place without overwriting the valid data in subsequent tracks if any. A write operation therefore may incur several extra read and write operations, which creates a write amplification problem. In this paper, we propose several novel static Logical Block...

Abstract Introduction Shift work is increasingly common in our 24/7 society and can cause sleep disturbances excessive sleepiness. Roughly 10-43% of shift workers are diagnosed with disorder (SWD), characterized by sleepiness accompanied reduced duration and/or insomnia. While more individuals early morning shifts (shift start 3-6AM) compared to overnight shifts, few studies have investigated t...

Abstract Native to Southeast Asia, the spotted‐wing drosophila ( Drosophila suzukii ) has become a major pest of small fruit crops in Americas and Europe because females can oviposit ripening fruit. Currently, D. management relies heavily on chemical control; thus, more sustainable approaches like attract‐and‐kill need be evaluated reduce insecticide use. In previous studies, HOOK SWD, an produ...

OBJECTIVES Sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD). The effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on SWD is poorly known. In this study we examined the subjective and objective sleep-wake profile and the quality of life (QoL) of PD patients in the context of subthalamic DBS. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from PD patients and candidates for D...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of persistent disabilities such as sleep-wake disorders (SWD). Rodent studies of SWD after TBI are scarce, however, because of lack of appropriate TBI models reproducing acceleration-deceleration forces and compatible with electroencephalography/myography (EEG/EMG)-based recordings of vigilance states. We therefore adapted the Marmarou impact accele...

The near zero liquid discharge (NZLD) approach, by recovering water and dissolved valuable salts, is the most attractive clean solution for valorisation of brines from seawater desalination reverse osmosis (SWD-RO) plants. In this perspective, a key aspect calcium removal/recovery, to avoid scaling problems in successive advanced separation units other salts. work sodium citrate (Na 3 C 6 H 5 O...
