Information sharing, scheduling and organization in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is highly dependent upon achieving the same notion of time. Hence timing synchronization becomes a vital concern in most of the distributed wireless networks. Similarly, different layers of a network also need to synchronize among themselves for efficient performance and energy optimization. Bandwidth, energy co...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the methods of maintaining desired flow conditions in the reaches of the ecologically valuable upper reaches of the River Narew taking into account the uncertainty in modelling process. The study is based on Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) and Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) techniques applied to a 1-D river flow model. We compare s...

A transient modelling framework for a vanadium redox-flow battery (RFB) is developed and experiments covering a range of vanadiumconcentration and electrolyte flow rate are conducted. The two-dimensional model is based on a comprehensive description of mass, charge and momentum transport and conservation, and is combined with a global kinetic model for reactions involving vanadium species. The ...

In this talk, we present a sparse grid discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme for transport equations and applied it to kinetic simulations. The method uses the weak formulations of traditional Runge-Kutta DG schemes for hyperbolic problems and is proven to be L stable and convergent. A major advantage of the scheme lies in its low computational and storage cost due to the employed sparse finite el...

This paper narrates the history of the conservation of the human brain, tracking techniques of brain archiving from the first experiments in the preservation of soft tissue in spirits of alcohol to the latest refinements in cryogenic technology. It traces the changing social and legal conditions that permitted the collection of post mortem human tissue, as well as the increasingly sophisticated...
