Field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), also commonly termed differential mobility spectrometry (DMS), is a gas-phase ion separation technology. FAIMS exploits differences in high-electric-field to low-electric-field ion mobility ratios to discriminate between ion species. FAIMS and mass spectrometry (MS) provide generally orthogonal ion separation and are easy to interface. One of the
Antenna selection is a promising technique for reducing complexity of multiple-antenna (MIMO) systems. In antenna selection, more antenna elements than RF transceiver chains are available for up-conversion and down-conversion. A subset of the available antenna elements is selected and connected to the RF chains. The reduction in the number of RF chains helps to reduce the implementation cost of mu
In Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems, an intercooler contributes to proper thermal management of the reactant air into the cathode. However, the structure/performance of it is not clear yet. In this paper, two case studies concerning an intercooler in a 100 kW PEMFC system are carried out. Plate-fin and tube-fin heat exchangers are analyzed as the intercooler, in terms of volume,
Popular Abstract in English Proteins are molecular machines of the human body which regulate all life sustaining processes such as energy production, communication, transport of essential molecules, defense against microbes, etc. They are built by small molecular units called amino acids, bound together like pearls on a necklace. Each amino acid consists of a common part and a unique side chain. TAnisotropic protein interactions have a strong orientation dependence resulting from an uneven distribution of charged and hydrophobic residues on the protein surface. They play an important role in protein behaviors such as protein association, surface adsorption and phase separation. In this thesis, we have studied the effect of anisotropic interactions on the behavior of various proteins mainly
This paper summarizes the recent calculations of the masses and decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons at the two-loop level, or NNLO, in Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory (PQxPT). Possible applications include chiral extrapolations of Lattice QCD, as well as the determination of the low-energy constants (LEC:s) of QCD
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under fostertiden är fostret beroende av tillförsel av syre och näringsämnen via moderkakan och navelsträngen, och koldioxid som bildas vid dess ämnesomsätt-ning avges i motsatt riktning. Under förlossningen ökar trycket i livmodern vid varje värk, så att tillförseln av syrerikt blod från modern till moderkakan till-fälligt nedsätts. Det finns också en risk att navelstrAcidaemia at birth is a result of an impaired intrauterine gas exchange. Between 1988 and 1996, acid-base balance in cord artery blood pH was assessed in 23 016 of 27 064 newborns (85%). Obstetric risk factors for acidaemia (cord artery pH < 7.05) were identified in a case-control study. Independent risk factors were breech delivery, administration of oxytocin or pethidine, cord entanglement and m
A pattern reconfigurable stacked microstrip patch antenna is presented for 60GHz central frequency. The antenna reconfigurability is realized using shorting pins in the antenna radiating aperture. Investigation is presented for different shorting pins locations. Influence on the antenna radiation pattern and return loss is studied. Measurement results for the antenna prototype agree with simulatio
