Estimation and Characteristics of Low-Frequency Ambient Sea Noise from Far-Field Ships

To study the rapid estimation method and characteristics of low-frequency ambient sea noise generated by far-field ships, firstly, based on the reciprocity principle of sound fields and the fact that the number of noise sources significantl...

Children in All Policies (CAP) 2030 Citizen Science for Climate Change Resilience: a cross-sectional pilot study engaging adolescents to study climate hazards, biodiversity and nutrition in rural Nepal [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background Young people will suffer most from climate change yet are rarely engaged in dialogue about it. Citizen science offers a method for collecting policy-relevant data, whilst promoting awareness and capacity building. We tested the f...

Prediction of metabolic status of dairy cows in early lactation using milk fatty acids and test-day variables

ABSTRACT: Early lactation metabolic imbalance is an important physiological change affecting the health, production, and reproduction of dairy cows. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the potential of test-day (TD) variables with o...

Weight-loss strategies of South African female university students and comparison of weight management-related characteristics between dieters and non-dieters

Abstract Background Female university students are at risk for weight gain and use of inappropriate weight-loss strategies. By gaining a greater understanding of the weight-loss strategies used by and weight management related characteristi...

Integrated Analysis of Liver Transcriptome, miRNA, and Proteome of Chinese Indigenous Breed Ningxiang Pig in Three Developmental Stages Uncovers Significant miRNA–mRNA–Protein Networks in Lipid Metabolism

Liver is an important metabolic organ of mammals. During each transitional period of life, liver metabolism is programmed by a complex molecular regulatory system for multiple physiological functions, many pathways of which are regulated by...

The influence of family in children’s feeding difficulties: an integrative review

BackgroundFeeding difficulties, such as limited appetite, selective eating, and food phobia, affect caregivers' ability to provide adequate nutrition to children. These issues impact 25%–40% of non-neurodivergent children and up 80% of neur...

Relationship Between Quality of Palliative Care for Children with Malignancies and Mothers’ Level of Education

Objective(s): To (1) find out the association between palliative care for children with malignancies and mothers’ level of education, and (2) investigate the differences in the quality of palliative care among mothers’ level of education gr...

Efficacy of heel lifts versus calf muscle eccentric exercise for mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (the HEALTHY trial): study protocol for a randomised trial

Abstract Background Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal condition characterised by degeneration of the Achilles tendon, which causes pain and disability. Multiple non-surgical treatments have been advocated for thi...

Remaining Useful Life Prediction for Nonlinear Degraded Equipment With Bivariate Time Scales

As the fundamental and prerequisite work of remaining useful life (RUL) prediction, degradation modeling directly affects the accuracy of RUL prediction. Existing degradation models are all developed under a single time scale, and less rese...

Gasification of Lignocellulosic Waste in Supercritical Water: Study of Thermodynamic Equilibrium as a Nonlinear Programming Problem

As one of the main industrial segments of the current geoeconomics scenario, agro-industrial activities generate excessive amounts of waste. The gasification of such waste using supercritical water (SCWG) has the potential to convert the wa...

Sharing tactical data in a network-enabled coalition

The NATO Command, Control and Consultation Agency (NC3A) is a participant in a coalition project called the Shared Tactical Pictures (STP). The aim of STP is to develop methods and techniques to enable the sharing of a wide variety of infor...

A novel generalized sliding mode controller for uncertain robot manipulators based on motion constraints

To improve the trajectory tracking performance and robustness for uncertain robot manipulators, a generalized sliding mode controller (GSMC) including an ideal controller and a continuous sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed from the s...

R-Local Unlabeled Sensing: A Novel Graph Matching Approach for Multiview Unlabeled Sensing Under Local Permutations

Unlabeled sensing is a linear inverse problem where the measurements are scrambled under an unknown permutation leading to loss of correspondence between the measurements and the rows of the sensing matrix. Motivated by practical tasks such...

Delay-Dependent H∞ Control for Singular Markovian Jump Systems With Generally Uncertain Transition Rates

This article is devoted to the problem of H control for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and generally uncertain transition rates, which means each transition rate is completely unknown or only its estimate...

Optimal planning of integrated energy system considering swapping station and carbon capture power system

An optimal planning method for an integrated energy system (IES) considering electric vehicles (EVs) swapping station (SS) and carbon capture power system (CCPS) is studied in this paper. Firstly, based on the analysis of swapping EV load, ...

Hidden Markov model based P2P flow identification technique

To identify various P2P flows accurately in real-time,a hidden Markov model(HMM)based P2P flow identification technique was proposed.This approach made use of packet size,inter-arrival time and arrival order to construct flow identification...

Establishing a pure antiferroelectric PbZrO3 phase through tensile epitaxial strain

Abstract The nature of lead zirconate, the historical antiferroelectric material, has recently been challenged. In PbZrO3 epitaxial films, thickness reduction engenders competition among antiferroelectric, ferrielectric and ferroelectric ph...
