Continued from last month, a single series diode rectifier is excited by sinusoidal voltage source through inductor. To adjust the diode’s on-duty cycle, we now employ variable resistor for dc load, as shown in Figure 1 . Can predict specific resistance <italic xmlns:...

This research investigates how professional authors construct their authorial identities in English articles (RAs). Sixty were selected from three disciplines, biology, linguistics, and medicine, published by native non-native reputable international journals. First-person references the analyzed qualitatively quantitatively with help of corpus linguistic methods to examine they used express, d...

neonatal unit; 18 of these infants had been born outside the hospital. While the overall survival rate was 47%, out of 17 normally formed infants born at 23-25 weeks' gestation only 2 (12%) survived. Both are so far neurodevelopmentally normal but one has severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia necessitating frequent admissions to hospital. The survival rate of 12% is in keeping with that of Professo...

— We present the first optical observations of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow using the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), which is owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated on La Palma. We briefly discuss the capabilities of LT and its suitability for rapid follow-up observations of early optical and infrared GRB light curves. In particular, the combination of a...

If the patient’s spine is anatomically abnormal or is injured, or if the patient’s posture during the lumbar puncture is insufficiently relaxed, there is a greater likelihood that the lumbar puncture needle will strike against bone and that bone marrow components will be aspirated together with the CSF. Other cell types and tissues that may appear in the CSF as an artifact of lumbar puncture ar...

Real-time traffic flow operation condition of freeway gradually becomes the critical information for the freeway users and managers. In fact, electronic toll collection (ETC) transaction data effectively records operational information of vehicles on freeway, which provides a new method to estimate the travel speed of freeway. First, the paper analyzed the structure of ETC transaction data and ...

In the traditional fuzzy logic, the expert’s degree of confidence d(A&B) in a complex statement A&B (or A∨B) is uniquely determined by his/her degrees of confidence d(A) and d(B) in the statements A and B, as f&(d(A), d(B)) for an appropriate “and”-operation (t-norm). In practice, for the same degrees d(A) and d(B), we may have different degrees d(A&B) depending on the relation between A and B....
