Altitude Limits for Rotating Vector Model Fitting of Pulsar Polarization [PDF]
, 2012 Traditional pulsar polarization sweep analysis starts from the point dipole rotating vector model (RVM) approximation. If augmented by a measurement of the sweep phase shift, one obtains an estimate of the emission altitude (Blaskiewicz, Cordes, & Wasserman).

On the Anthropogenic and Natural Injection of Matter into Earth's Atmosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Every year, more and more objects are sent to space. While staying in orbit at high altitudes, objects at low altitudes reenter the atmosphere, mostly disintegrating and adding material to the upper atmosphere. The increasing number of countries with space programs, advancing commercialization, and ambitious satellite constellation projects raise ...

Hypoxic training increases maximal oxygen consumption in Thoroughbred horses well-trained in normoxia. [PDF]
, 2017 Hypoxic training is effective for improving athletic performance in humans. It increases maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max) more than normoxic training in untrained horses. However, the effects of hypoxic training on well-trained horses are unclear. We

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.

Accuracy of Mean Radiant Temperature Derived from Active and Passive Radiometry
Atmosphere, 2020 The concept of the mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) allows the study of radiative exchanges between a human and its environment. It presupposes that the radiant effects on the person of the actual environment, which is generally heterogeneous, and the ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A low‐cost pipeline curvature detection method has been proposed for an untethered biped pipeline surface climbing robot (BPCR) system with a five‐degree‐of freedom structure. The BPCR features adaptive vacuum suction cups equipped with multiple laser sensors on the suction modules to detect the curvature of various surfaces.
