Abstract In this paper, the front-end circuit of a capacitance wire-mesh sensor (WMS) is analyzed in detail and new methodology to tune its feedback gains reported. This allows, for first time, WMS be able provide linear measurements multiphase fluids with electrical conductivity greater than 100

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subcortical white matter stroke (WMS) constitutes up to 30% of all stroke subtypes. Mechanisms of oligodendrocyte and axon injury and repair play a central role in the damage and recovery after this type of stroke, and a comprehensive study of these processes requires a specialized experimental model that is different from common large artery, gray matter stroke models. D...

Calibration-free wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) is an efficient technique for trace gas monitoring. It widely used due to its resistance light intensity fluctuations, strong suppression of low-frequency noise, fast response time, and excellent environmental adaptability. The calibration-free WMS often employs the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm spectral fitting retrieve characteristics....

glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and neurodegeneration have been shown as pathophysiological hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (ms) and other autoimmune inflammatory cns disorders. n‑methyl‑d‑aspartate (nmda) receptors play a pivotal role in the mediation of neuronal glutamate excitotoxicity leading to cellular damage and apoptotic cell death. current treatment approaches targeting glutamate exc...

Warehouse Control System (WCS) aims to manage a broad range of facilities in the warehouse. WCS is different from warehouse management system (WMS). It manages and controls facilities (e.g. equipment) in the warehouse while WMS manages orders in the warehouse. A WCS controls a number of equipment simultaneously while an equipment control system (ECS) controls individual machine. We analysed key...

Wissensmanagement (WM) wird für die Kommunalverwaltung in Deutschland als Instrument zur Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsund Zukunftsfähigkeit wahrgenommen. Dennoch stellt die hier behandelte bundesweite Studie in deutschen Städten einen unterdurchschnittlichen Einsatz von Elementen des WMs fest. Um in Zukunft die proagierten Potenziale des WMs innerhalb der Behörden nutzen zu können, bedarf es dem...

This paper reports two studies which investigated the effect of interference on delayed recall scores of the WMS-III and other commonly used memory measures. In Study 1, participants completed the immediate and delayed components of the WMS-III, with or without the introduction of conceptually similar memory tasks between the recall trials. In Study 2, this order of administration was reversed,...

A ppb-level formaldehyde (H2CO) sensor was developed using a thermoelectrically cooled (TEC), continuous-wave (CW) room temperature interband cascade laser (ICL) emitting at 3.59 μm and a miniature dense pattern multipass gas cell with >50 m optical path length. Performance of the sensor was investigated with two measurement schemes: direct absorption (DAS) and wavelength modulation spectroscop...

We studied the effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in 23 consecutive patients with stable angina pectoris who had a positive dobutamine stress echocardiogram. After EECP, stress-induced wall motion score (WMS) improved by > or =2 grades in 43% of the patients (n = 10); the average improvement was 5.3 +/- 3.8 compared with -0.6 +/- 3.0 in the remaining 13 patients (p = 0.007). Th...
