OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a system for delivery of inhaled nitric oxide.DESIGN: Prospective, laboratory study.SETTING: Engineering laboratory.SUBJECTS: A standard ventilator (Servo Ventilator 300), supplemented with extra gas modules for nitric oxide delivery.INTERVENTIONS: Two ventilator-integrated gas modules, delivering < or = 10 parts per million (ppm) or < or = 100 ppm of nitric oxide, were used

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate public partners’ motives for seeking and/or accepting partnerships with third sector organisations.Design/methodology/approachThe approach is to seek to identify and explain motives from different perspectives; as responses to government failure or voluntary failure, as related to governance structures, and/or as driven by resource dependencies.

The onset of formulating strategies and policies regarding the bioeconomy can be, at least partly, attributed to the publication of the bioeconomy policy agenda by the OECD in 2009. The aim of this study is to analyse selected national strategies and policies regarding the development of a bioeconomy and to clarify similarities and differences between them. The article presents a comparative overv

The thesis deals with circuit-level aspects of CMOS buffer SRAMs where the data throughput rate is a more important metric than access time or storage capacity. One aspect is the increased write cycle related power consumption that is the consequence of a high write ratio combined with a long word-length. That is addressed through the invention of a new bit-line operation mode which allows lower

We consider time-dependent thermal fluid structure interaction. The respective models are the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and the nonlinear heat equation. A partitioned coupling approach via a Dirichlet–Neumann method and a fixed point iteration is employed. As a reference solver, a previously developed efficient time-adaptive higher-order time integration scheme is used. To improve on t

Microstructural information over an entire sample is important to understand the macroscopic behaviour of materials. X-ray scattering tensor tomography facilitates the investigation of the microstructural organisation in statistically large sample volumes. However, established acquisition protocols based on scanning small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray grating interferometry inherently require l

We consider the problem of computing the product of two n×n Boolean matrices A and B. For an n×n Boolean matrix C, let GC be the complete weighted graph on the rows of C where the weight of an edge between two rows is equal to its Hamming distance, i.e., the number of entries in the first row having values different from the corresponding entries in the second one. Next, letMWT(C) be the weight of a

In synthetic aperture radar one wishes to reconstruct the reflectivity function of a region on the ground from a set of radar measurements taken at several angles. The ground reflectivity is found by interpolating measured samples, which typically lie on a polar grid in frequency space, to an equally spaced rectangular grid in frequency space, then computing an inverse Fourier transform. The class

We use randomness to exploit the potential sparsity of the Boolean matrix product in order to speed up the computation of the product. Our new fast output-sensitive algorithm for Boolean matrix product and its witnesses is randomized and provides the Boolean product and its witnesses almost certainly. Its worst-case time performance is expressed in terms of the input size and the number of non-zer

This paper describes a fast algorithm for topology independent tracking of moving interfaces under curvature- and velocity field-dependent speed laws. This is usually done in the level set framework using the narrow-band algorithm, which accurately solves the level set equation but is too slow to use in real-time or near real-time image segmentation applications. In this paper we introduce a fast

Given a set V of n points in R-d and a real constant t > 1, we present the first O(n log n)-time algorithm to compute a geometric t-spanner on V. A geometric t-spanner on V is a connected graph G = ( V, E) with edge weights equal to the Euclidean distances between the endpoints, and with the property that, for all u, v is an element of V the distance between u and v in G is at most t times the Euc

The Fourier slice theorem for the standard Radon transform generalizes to a Laplace counterpart when considering the exponential Radon transform. We show how to use this fact in combination with algorithms for the unequally spaced fast Laplace transform to construct fast and accurate methods for computing both the forward exponential Radon transform and the corresponding back-projection operator.
