Improving the Reporting of Threats to Construct Validity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Background: Construct validity concerns the use of indicators to measure a concept that is not directly measurable. Aim: This study intends to identify, categorize, assess and quantify discussions of threats to construct validity in empirical software engineering literature and use the findings to suggest ways to improve the reporting of construct ...

Entangled quantum Otto heat engines based on two-spin systems with the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction [PDF]
Quantum Inf Process (2017) 16:216, 2017 We construct an entangled quantum Otto engine based on spin-1/2 systems undergoing Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction within a varying magnetic field. We investigate the influence of the DM interaction on basic thermodynamic quantities, including heat transfer, work done, and efficiency and find that the DM interaction importantly influences the ...

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR), 2019 Construction Engineering is very important part of Civil Engineering. We can’t think about a good and stable structure without good quality of construction. And the construction materials is also play an important role for any construction work. Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction ...

Value Engineering in Construction
Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2015 Value engineering is a methodology used to analyze the function of the goods and services and to obtain the required functions of the user at the lowest total cost without reducing the necessary quality of performance. Many a time, Value Engineering (VE) is confused with cost cutting exercises in construction industry.

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Looking back to see the future: building nuclear power plants in Europe [PDF]
, 2011 The so-called ‘nuclear renaissance’ in Europe is promulgated by the execution of two large engineering projects involving the construction of two European Pressurized Reactors (EPRs) in Flamanville, France and Olkiluoto in Finland.

Efficient Quantum Measurement Engine [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 260601 (2018), 2018 We propose quantum engines powered entirely by the quantum measurement process. Our theoretical construction of the engine requires no work from the system Hamiltonian, and takes energy only from the process of observation to move a particle against a force.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

On site challenges for the construction of 16-storey condominium: as observed by a young civil engineering technologist [PDF]
, 2020 The difference between an engineer and an engineering technologist is that, an engineer would mainly focus and produce structural designs based on engineering calculations, while the job of an engineering technologist is to execute the design in the real
