Parallel Nanoliter Microfluidic Analysis System [PDF]
A parallel nanoliter microfluidic analysis system based on capillary action, centrifugal force, and hydrophobic barriers is described. The precision of 112 parallel volume definition operations is determined to 0.75% CV at 200 nL using the individual sample introduction structure. For 20 nL, the actual measurement error is the dominating factor, with a

A dual-population Constrained Many-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on reference point and angle easing strategy [PDF]
Constrained many-objective optimization problems (CMaOPs) have gradually emerged in various areas and are significant for this field. These problems often involve intricate Pareto frontiers (PFs) that are both refined and uneven, thereby making their ...

QUANTIFYING THE QUALITY OF INDOOR MAPS [PDF]
Indoor maps are required for multiple applications, such as, navigation, building maintenance and robotics. One of common methods for map generation is laser scanning. In such maps, not only geometry of the map is of interest, but also its quality.

Analysis of Parallel Systems [PDF]
A formal analysis procedure for hardware and software computer systems is described. A system is described by a flow table model. The concept of an output hazard is introduced to account for effects of unbounded line delays. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the absence of output hazards are given. A system that contains no output hazards is said

Adaptation of compulsive sport consumption scale into Turkish culture: CSCS-T
Consuming sports products and services incessantly without being able to restrain oneself is characterized as compulsive sports consumption. The aim of this study is to adapt the Compulsive Sport Consumption Scale (CSCS) developed in English by Aiken et ...

Degradation Analysis of Probabilistic Parallel Choice Systems [PDF]
Degradation analysis is used to analyze the useful lifetimes of systems, their failure rates, and various other system parameters like mean time to failure (MTTF), mean time between failures (MTBF), and the system failure rate (SFR).

Exit chart analysis of parallel data convolutional codes [PDF]
We recently proposed a new class of turbo-like codes called parallel data convolutional codes (PDCCs). The distinct characteristics of PDCCs include parallel data input bits and a self-iterative soft-in/soft-out a posteriori probability(APP) decoder. In

On quasi-parallel whistler waves in the solar wind
The recent simulations showed that the whistler heat flux instability, which presumably produces the most of quasi-parallel coherent whistler waves in the solar wind, is not efficient in regulating the electron heat conduction.

Dimensionality reduction of medical image descriptors for multimodal image registration
Defining similarity forms a challenging and relevant research topic in multimodal image registration. The frequently used mutual information disregards contextual information, which is shared across modalities.
