Improved species concentration measurements using a species-specific weighting procedure on rotational CARS spectra

Rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is used for measurements of temperatures and relative species concentrations. The evaluation of a rotational CARS spectrum is normally performed using a least-squares fitting algorithm to find the best-fit theoretical spectrum in a library of spectra calculated at different temperatures and relative concentrations. A general problem is that

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: a review.

The entity sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and situs inversus is since long named Kartagener syndrome. Nowadays the designation used is primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), which implies cilia with decreased or total absence of motility, which may result in sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and male infertility. A large number of deficiencies detectable on the ultrastructural level give rise

Chronic suppurative otitis media in Tanzanian school children and its effects on hearing

OBJECTIVES: To compare different treatment regimens of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) in school children, in regard to their consequence in hearing and discharge from the ear drum perforation. DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Randomly selected primary schools within Dar es Salaam. SUBJECTS: Three hundred and twenty eight children between 5-17 years of age with CSOM in one or

A method for re-planning of software releases using discrete-event simulation

Software release planning can be described as a process consisting of the following three phases: (i) strategic release planning, i.e. the assignment of features to subsequent releases, (ii) operational release planning, i.e. the allocation of resources to tasks within each individual release, and (iii) dynamic re-planning, i.e. the revision of plans to handle unexpected changes imposed on product

Using choice experiments to assess people's preferences for railway transports of hazardous materials

This article investigates whether the choice experiment approach can be used to assess people's preferences and the determinants of these preferences in order to estimate the costs and benefits of different configurations of the transport of hazardous materials by rail. Changes in the exposure to hazardous materials that people are subjected to are used rather than changes in accident risk. To the

Homomorphic Encryption: The ‘Holy Grail’ for Big Data Analytics & Legal Compliance in the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Sector?

The pharmaceutical and healthcare sector is a prime target for cybercriminals around the world. These cyber-attacks represent significant challenges in the context of data protection and data security. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict rules regarding the processing and analysis of personal data. In conventional approaches, data analysts request data from various sources
