Measures of youth e-cigarette use: strengths, weaknesses and recommendations

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
This perspective discusses how to best define “e-cigarette use” among youth in a way that is relevant to individual and human health. Commonly-used definitions of youth e-cigarette use have been adapted from measures validated for tobacco cigarette ...

Modulus, strength and thermal exposure studies of FP-Al2O3/aluminum and FP-Al2O3/magnesium composites [PDF]

open access: yes
The mechanical properties of FP-Al2O3 fiber reinforced composites prepared by liquid infiltration techniques are improved. A strengthening addition, magnesium, was incorporated with the aluminum-lithium matrix alloy usually selected for these composites ...

Validation and network structure of the strengths use scale for Chinese adolescents (SUS-Teen) with panel data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adolescence and Youth
Efforts have been made to understand strengths use in adults; however, tools and its structure studies for adolescents are lacking. This study aimed to validate the psychometric properties and network structure of the Chinese Strengths Use Scale ...

Device signal strength self-calibration using histograms

open access: yes2012 International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN), 2012
Traditionally, positioning with WLAN Received Signal Strength (RSS) fingerprints involves the laborious task of collecting a radiomap with a reference mobile device. Best accuracy can be guaranteed only in case the user carries the same device, while positioning with different devices requires a calibration step to make the new devices' RSS values ...

Constraining the X-ray Luminosities of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars: TX Cam and T Cas

open access: yes, 2004
To probe the magnetic activity levels of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, we used XMM-Newton to search for X-ray emission from two well-studied objects, TX Cam and T Cas.

Mobile Robot Localization using WLAN Signal Strengths

open access: yes2007 4th IEEE Workshop on Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems: Technology and Applications, 2007
Many buildings are already equipped with a WLAN infrastructure, as an inexpensive communication technology. In this paper two methods that estimate the position and the heading (pose) of a mobile robot using WLAN technology are described. The proposed techniques for localizing a mobile robot are based on the use of received signal strength values of ...

Silencing disease genes in the laboratory and the clinic

open access: yes, 2011
Synthetic nucleic acids are commonly used laboratory tools for modulating gene expression and have the potential to be widely used in the clinic. Progress towards nucleic acid drugs, however, has been slow and many challenges remain to be overcome before
