Assessing the whole-body absorption in a human in a realistic environment requires a statistical approach covering all possible exposure situations. This article describes the development of a statistical multi-path exposure method for heterogeneous realistic human body models. The method is applied for the 6-year-old Virtual Family boy (VFB) exposed to the GSM downlink at 950 MHz. It is shown ...

With increasing commercial applications of vanadium flow batteries (VFB), containerised VFB systems are gaining attention as they can be mass produced and easily transported configured for different energy storage applications. However, there limited studies on the thermodynamic modelling redox battery systems, thermal control designs. In this paper, a dynamic model is developed based which des...

Vertical federated learning (VFL) attracts increasing attention due to the emerging demands of multi-party collaborative modeling and concerns privacy leakage. In real VFL applications, usually only one or partial parties hold labels, which makes it challenging for all collaboratively learn model without Meanwhile, most existing algorithms are trapped in synchronous computations, leads ineffici...

BACKGROUND The Dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 blood group system was thought to contain types DEA 1.1 and 1.2 (and possibly 1.3 [A3]). However, DEA 1.2+ dogs are very rare and newer typing methods reveal varying degrees of DEA 1 positivity. OBJECTIVES To assess if variation in DEA 1 positivity is because of quantitative differences in surface antigen expression. To determine expression patte...

INTRODUCTION The visual feedback (VFB) technique is recognised as an appropriate tool for re-establishing postural stability following various motor dysfunctions. Indeed, VFB training programs are used to improve postural balance after a number of diseases such as hemiplaegia (Shumway-Cooke et al.; 1988). These studies have shown that, with daily and weekly training sessions, a decrease in ampl...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). Recently network DEA models been developed to examine the efficiency of DMUs with internal structures. The internal network structures range from a simple two-stage process to a complex system where multiple divisions are linked together with intermediate measures. In general, there ar...

In the course of energy transition, storage technologies are required for fluctuating and intermittently occurring electrical energy. The vanadium flow battery (VFB) is an especially promising electrochemical type megawatt applications due to its unique characteristics. This work intended as a benchmark evaluation environmental impacts VFB, providing transparency traceability. It considers requ...

Amiodarone (AMD)-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) is the most life-threatening side-effect of AMD treatment. N-Monodesethylamiodarone (DEA), an active metabolite of AMD, also exhibits cytotoxicity and tends to accumulate in the lung more intensively than AMD. In this study, we characterized the mechanism of DEA accumulation using A549 cells as a model of the alveolar epithelium. Typical ATP-de...

In this paper, we discuss the relationship between multi-attribute utility theory and DEA models without explicit inputs (DEA-WEI), including dual models and some theoretical analysis of DEA-WEI models. We then propose generic DEA-WEI models with quadratic utility terms. Finally, we provide illustrative examples to show that DEA-WEI with suitable quadratic utility terms are able to reflect some...
