To determine the intrinsic and effective clothing evaporative resistances,both in the individual clothing, and in the nulti-layer clothing ensembles meant for winter season, a fabric sweating thermal manikin Walter was used. Based on the tests performed on the individual garments, two empirical equations were developed for the estimation of these resistances, useful either to clothing manufacturer

This section gives an overview of Lake Victoria, that is currently underutilized for cargo transportation by the 3 East African states of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, despite the great potential of this shared water body for multimodal transport and trade opportunities. In order to sustainably develop infrastructure on Lake Victoria, the three member states must adopt sustainable business models t
The analysis of the verb phrase poses interesting problems. This paper suggests a binary solution where the auxiliary is treated as one constituent and the main verb complex as another. Auxiliaries are thus not treated as main verbs as was suggested by Ross 1967 (and followed in the first version of Referent Grammar, Sigurd 1987). The auxiliary may be lacking (latent, empty), in which case the mai
The present study aimed to model reconnaissance drought index (RDI) time series at three various time scales (i.e., RDI-6, RDI-9, RDI-12). Two weather stations located at Iran, namely Tehran and Dezful, were selected as the case study. First, support vector regression (SVR) was utilized as the standalone modeling technique. Then, hybrid models were implemented via coupling the standalone SVR with
We propose a new model that estimates the long- and short-run components of the variances and covariances. The advantage of our model to the existing DCC-based models is that it uses the same form for both the variances and covariances and estimates these moments simultaneously. We apply this model to obtain long- and short-run factor betas for industry test portfolios. We find that the risk premi
Purpose: Distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are malignancies with poor prognoses that can be difficult to distinguish preoperatively. Thrombospondin-2 has been proposed as a novel diagnostic biomarker for early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The aim of the present study was to evaluate thrombospondin-2 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in combination with curr
This article seeks to provide a new analytical framework based on factor endowments to understand growth in rural economies without structural transformation. More concretely, it explores the variation in farmers’ ability to respond to new commercial opportunities. To complement the extensive literature on the economic and institutional effects of factor endowments, this paper revisits two influen
Personalized case conceptualization is often regarded as a prerequisite for treatment success in psychotherapy for patients with comorbidity. This article presents Perceived Causal Networks, a novel method in which patients rate perceived causal relations among behavioral and emotional problems. First, 231 respondents screening positive for depression completed an online Perceived Causal Networks
An integrated flat-flame/ microprobe sampling quadrupole mass spectrometer system, complemented by optical spectrometry based on optical fibers, is presented. The short microprobe sampling line (total 25 cm) is directly connected to an open ion source closely flanked by two nude cryopumps (900 l/s) yielding a background pressure of 10-9 Torr and a sampling pressure of about 10-5 Torr. Due to this
Nanowire solar cells have the potential to reach the same efficiencies as the world-record III-V solar cells while using a fraction of the material. For solar energy harvesting, large-area nanowire solar cells have to be processed. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis of epitaxial InP nanowire arrays on a 2 inch wafer. We define five array areas with different nanowire diameters on the same
The role of proteins as the mediators of the interaction between engineered materials (biomaterials) and living systems has long been appreciated, but the subtleties and complexities introduced by changing surface curvature are only beginning to be understood. Thus, in implant devices, where the biomaterial is presented as a flat surface, a very limited range of proteins bind to the material, thes
The prediction and probability assignment (PPA) concept is important in lossless image compression. We report on a new approximate technique for PPA based on local optimization.
To explore the internal flow distributions and heat transfer mechanism in different types of independent cooling modules for automotive, numerical, and experimental studies were conducted. According to the study, the independent cooling modules with parallel structure, on which the heat exchangers were located separately and close to the inlets, the performance improvement was significant. In addi
Living labs and co-production are increasingly popular strategies for universities to address sustainability challenges and yet the links between them remain largely implicit. This paper discusses the potential of living labs to provide a holistic and iterative framework for the co-production of knowledge. The University Living Lab initiative was launched in 2012 to transform the University of Man
MOTIVATION: Gene expression-based multiclass prediction, such as tumor subtyping, is a non-trivial bioinformatic problem. Most classifier methods operate by comparing expression levels relative to other samples. Methods that base predictions on the expression pattern within a sample have been proposed as an alternative. As these methods are invariant to the cohort composition and can be applied to
Using a new sample environment, the two operando surface diagnostic techniques two-dimensional surface optical reflection (2D-SOR) and polarization-modulated infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) have been combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize a catalytic reaction. With both techniques integrated in a custom-built setup, we can correlate molecular information of the
We report on an optical investigation of the pyrolysis and photolysis of trimethylindium (TMIn) as a typical metalorganic precursor for functional nanowire growth, aiming at an in-depth understanding of the governing chemistry and optimization of aerosol-based (aerotaxy) and epitaxial growth processes. A flow reactor with special consideration given to optical access was built to provide the chemi
The Pythia event generator is used in several contexts to study hadron and lepton interactions, notably p p and p p ¯ collisions. In this article we extend the hadronic modelling to encompass the collision of a wide range of hadrons h with either a proton or a neutron, or with a simplified model of nuclear matter. To this end we model hp total and partial cross sections as a function of energy, an
