Design and development of three test facilities to evaluate heat transfer performances of advanced and low cost materials and coatings for geothermal application [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Geothermal energy is accredited as a flexible, controllable and green source of energy. Heat exchangers (HXs) are one of the most critical components of a geothermal power plant due to corrosion and scaling phenomena.

On a Generalization of Spikes [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2019 We consider matroids with the property that every subset of the ground set of size $t$ is contained in both an $\ell$-element circuit and an $\ell$-element cocircuit; we say that such a matroid has the $(t,\ell)$-property. We show that for any positive integer $t$, there is a finite number of matroids with the $(t,\ell)$-property for $\ell<2t ...

A Hierarchical Attractor Network Model of perceptual versus intentional decision updates
Nature Communications, 2021 In this study, the authors distinguish between changes of mind about perceptual vs. intentional decisions. A Hierarchical Attractor Network Model is proposed in which human voluntary actions emerge from continuous and dynamic integration of higher-order ...

To Spike or Not to Spike: That Is the Question [PDF]
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2015 Both the brain and digital computers process information, but they do this in completely different ways. Neurons in the brain transmit information not through bits, but through spikes. Spikes are short voltage increases that are generated near the cell body of a neuron, with average spike rates below 10 Hz.

“Dax's Case”: Autonomy and Paternalism
MedEdPORTAL, 2008 One of the most important assumptions of patient-centered ethics (and narrative ethics) is that one cannot do justice to a case without knowing all of the social, economic, religious, and psychological factors that may influence the process.
