Background: Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive ...

Octaalkenyl calix[4]pyrrole ((CH2= CH(CH2 )2 )8C4P) is highly useful for the postfunctionalization of different calix[4]pyrroles with desired functionalities. Functionalization with perfluoroalkyl chains [CF3 (CF2 )n ; ...

DC microgrids are gaining attention worldwide over the past few years. The benefits of using DC distribution in comparison to AC distribution has been identified in various studies. The development in the concept of DC ...

Design of effective microcooling systems to address the challenges of ever increasing heat flux from microdevices requires deep examination of real-time problems and has been tackled in depth. The most common (and ...

The pursuit of efficient schemes for recognition of physiologically and environmentally important analytes has led to extensive development in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Among various analytes, anions play a ...

Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs) are characterized by intermittent connectivity among nodes. In many scenarios, the nodes attempt at local decision making based on greedy approaches, which can result in getting trapped ...

We address experimentally the large-scale dynamics of Si(1 0 0) surfaces during the initial stages of anisotropic wet (KOH) chemical etching, which are characterized through atomic force microscopy. These systems are ...

We study (1 þ 1)-dimensional P-wave holographic superconductors described by three- dimensional Einstein-Maxwell gravity coupled to a massive complex vector field in the context of AdS3=CFT2 correspondence. In the probe ...

This paper describes a probabilistic approach based on a linearization of basic load flow equations. The method computes expected values (mean) and standard deviation of the voltages, angles, injected active and reactive ...

While a body of literature on the spreading dynamics of surfactants and a few studies on the spreading dynamics of nanocolloids exist, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are no reports on the effect of presence ...
