Some aspects of the transition probability P(w, u) between states w, ~, on unital *-algebras are discussed. It is shown that P increases under the action of any stochastic linear map T, i.e., P(Tco, Tp) >~ P(co, u). Some properties of P are derived in starting from a recently-proved characterization of the quantity in question.

Transparent-conductive-oxide (TCO) materials and transparent devices combining photovoltage thermoelectric effects are still scarce. Hence, a new transparent-conductive-oxide/insulating/transparent-semiconductor-oxide (TCO-I-TSO) structure such is developed. It made of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)/SiO2/NiO thin films sequentially deposited on glass substrates. AZO exhibits thermo in response...

Interpretation of NO3? variability recorded in ice cores remains challenging as it can be lost from snow. Here, we present 60-year records and its isotopic composition (?15N, ?18O, ?17O) snow central Antarctica, Dome A. In the upper ?90 cm snowpack, variations concentration are dominated by photolytic loss, ?18O ?17O associated with recycling NOx to condensed phase driven photolysis. deeper sno...

BACKGROUND Pretargeting-based approaches are being investigated for radioimmunoimaging and therapy applications to reduce the effective radiation burden to the patient. To date, only a few studies have used short-lived radioisotopes for pretargeting of antibodies, and such examples with internalizing antibodies are even rarer. Herein, we have investigated pretargeting methodology using inverse ...

The objective of this study is to investigate the differences of acupuncture effect between the Zusanli (St.36) and Sanyinjiao (SP.6) points on the gastrointestinal-tract (GIT) segment performed by the bioavailability of (99m)Tc-sodium-pertechnetate (Na(99m)TcO(4)) in rats. Male Wistar rats (n = 21) were allocated into three groups of seven each. Group 1 was treated by acupuncture bilaterally a...

Abstract. Total column ozone (TCO) is commonly measured by Brewer and Dobson spectroradiometers. Both types of instruments use solar irradiance measurements at four wavelengths in the ultraviolet radiation range to derive TCO. For calibration quality assurance TCO both instrument require periodic field comparisons with a reference instrument. This study presents traceable retrievals from direct...

This study investigates the effects of transport and environmental factors on carbon dioxide emissions (TCO 2 ). It employs cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lags for estimation in short long runs examines panel time-series data from 2000 to 2020 OECD countries. method allows heterogeneity dependencies slope parameters across The results demonstrate that road railway traffic movements ...

Abstract. Stratospheric ozone and water vapour are key components of the Earth system, past future changes to both have important impacts on global regional climate. Here, we evaluate long-term in these species from pre-industrial period (1850) end 21st century Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) models under a range emissions scenarios. There is good agreement between CMIP mu...

Abstract. Ozone (O3) plays a significant role in weather and climate on regional to global spatial scales. Most studies the variability total column of O3 (TCO) are typically carried out using daytime data. Based knowledge chemistry transport O3, deviations between night-time only expected either planetary boundary layer (PBL) or high stratosphere mesosphere, with little effect TCO. Hence, we e...

This article aims to calculate, analyse and compare the optimal powertrain sizing solutions for a long-haul plug-in series hybrid coach running on diesel hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) using co-design optimisation approach for: (1) lowering lifetime carbon footprint; (2) minimising total cost of ownership (TCO); (3) finding right compromise between environmental impact economic feasibility tw...
