Quantum battery of interacting spins with environmental noise [PDF]

, 2020
A quantum battery is a temporary energy-storage system. We constructed the quantum battery model of an N-spin chain with nearest-neighbor hopping interaction and investigated the charging process of the quantum battery.

Nationwide distribution and factors related to indoor fine particulate matter concentrations in subway stations in Korea: Results of first-year measurement

Environment International
This study assessed the seasonal distribution and factors associated with PM2.5 in nationwide subway stations in Korea. A total of 229,644 data points collected over one year were used to determine one-day PM2.5 concentrations from 642 subway stations ...

Characteristics of asbestos fibers in lung tissue from occupational and environmental asbestos exposure of lung cancer patients in Busan, Korea

Scientific Reports, 2020
The Asbestos Injury Relief Act in Korea requires that asbestos exposure be assessed through clinical examination and chest computed tomography (CT). However, a more specific measurement of asbestos characteristics in the lung tissue may be appropriate ...

Dispersal and noise: Various modes of synchrony in\ud ecological oscillators [PDF]

, 2012
We use the theory of noise-induced phase synchronization to analyze the effects of dispersal on the synchronization of a pair of predator-prey systems within a fluctuating environment (Moran effect). Assuming that each isolated local population acts as a

Road traffic noise and registry based use of sleep medication

Environmental Health, 2017
Background Road traffic noise has been associated with adverse health effects including sleep disturbances. Use of sleep medication as an indicator of sleeping problems has rarely been explored in studies of the effects of traffic noise.

Analysis of a stochastic epidemic model for cholera disease based on probability density function with standard incidence rate

AIMS Mathematics, 2023
Acute diarrhea caused by consuming unclean water or food is known as the epidemic cholera. A model for the epidemic cholera is formulated by considering the instants at which a person contracts the disease and the instant at which the individual exhibits

A target guided subband filter for acoustic event detection in noisy environments using wavelet packets [PDF]

, 2014
This paper deals with acoustic event detection (AED), such as screams, gunshots, and explosions, in noisy environments. The main aim is to improve the detection performance under adverse conditions with a very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Social Inequalities in Environmental Noise Exposure: A Review of Evidence in the WHO European Region

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019
Environmental noise is an important public health problem, being among the top environmental risks to health. The burden of noise exposure seems to be unequally distributed in societies.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...
