A measurement setup made of millimeter-wave and ultra wideband transceivers mounted on both a customized UAV ground station for full 3D wireless propagation analysis is described in this work. The developed system represents flexible solution the characterization channels especially urban propagation, as drone might be easily located almost anywhere from level to buildings rooftop beyond. doubl...

Abstract Plant hydraulic conductivity and its decline under water stress is the focal point of current plant research. Common methods measuring control a pressure gradient to push through samples, submitting them conditions far away from those that are experienced in nature where flow suction driven determined by leaf demand. In this paper, we present two for closer natural conditions, an artif...

This work describes the design and implementation of a Zero-Length Column system to measure: diffusion coefficients, adsorption isotherm parameters pure components mixtures. In addition, graphical user interface (GUI) was developed in LabVIEW for semi-automatic operation system. The is novel because it integrates all aforementioned functionalities without using mass spectrometry. Two adsorbents...

Quantifying and comparing performance of optimization algorithms is one important aspect of research in search and optimization. However, this task turns out to be tedious and difficult to realize even in the single-objective case – at least if one is willing to accomplish it in a scientifically decent and rigorous way. The BBOB 2009 workshop will furnish most of this tedious task for its parti...
