This work aims at presenting the experience of the authors in applying the “product sound quality” approach to the noise signals recorded at the operator station of some earth moving machines (EMMs) in order to improve the acoustic comfort for the operator. For industrial products, the concept of “product sound quality” was defined by Blauert and Jekosch as “...a descriptor of the adequacy of t...

We report progress made on an analytic investigation of low-frequency cardiorespiratory variability in humans. The work is based on an existing physiological model of chemically-mediated blood-gas control via the central and peripheral chemoreceptors, that of Grodins, Buell & Bart (1967). Scaling and simplification of the Grodins model yields a rich variety of dynamical subsets; the thesis focu...

perspective, labels represent an extra `informational resource' which is present in deduction and can play a variety of roles. One obtains a scala of labeling regimes depending on the degree of autonomy between the formula component and the label component of the basic declarative units. At the conservative end of the spectrum, the label simply keeps a passive record of inferential steps. Curry...

The original EMV protocol was designed to operate in a situation where the card holder removes their card from their wallet and insert the card into a Point of Sale (POS) terminal. The protocol operates predominantly in plaintext which was not a problem because the attackers needed to tamper with the POS to gain access to the information on the card. The introduction of contactless EMV cards ex...

Background Comorbidities in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) occur more frequently than the general population and are associated with higher morbidity mortality. Some comorbidities may together, making one likely presence of another, different combinations have differential considerations for AS management outcomes. Objectives To examine association baseline disease activity functional status AS. M...

ing over Semantic Theories Alexander Guy Brockway Holt Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 1993 Abstract The topic of this thesis is abstraction over theories of formal semantics for natural language. It is motivated by the belief that a metatheoretical perspective can contribute both to a better theoretical understanding of semantic theories, and to improved practical mechanisms for d...

The Taxiway Navigation and Situation Awareness (T-NASA) system is a prototype augmented reality commercial airline cockpit display suite developed to increase efficiency and enhance situation awareness (SA) during airport surface taxi operations. The T-NASA system consists of a head-up display (HUD) and an electronic moving map (EMM), which allow for the display of navigation information using ...

Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) is an agriculturally valuable tree that produces fruits used in a range of culinary dishes, beverages, and other products. The progenitor species number origins sour remain unresolved. Here, we performed phylogenetic analyses plastid genomes nuclear genes from nine wild three historically important cultivars. Our identified Prunus fruticosa avium as the closest e...
