A Measure of Capacity Contribution of Static Mono-Si Photovoltaic Systems
(2013-05)Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity in the daytime when system demand is generally moderate to high. For Mediterranean countries, there is also seasonal coincidence of high system demand and high PV load factors. ... -
Measurement of Vigilance Using EEG Source Localization
(2017-11)Vigilance, or sustained attention, is crucial for jobs where attentiveness for prolonged times is required. These jobs include air traffic control, luggage inspection, and surveillance jobs. Vigilance decrement can cause ... -
Measuring the Acoustic Release of a Chemotherapeutic Agent from Folate-Targeted Polymeric Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2018)In this paper, we compare the use of Bayesian filters for the estimation of release and reencapsulation rates of a chemotherapeutic agent (namely Doxorubicin) from nanocarriers in an acoustically activated drug release ... -
Mechanical and phytochemical protection mechanisms of Calligonum comosum in arid deserts
(Public Library of Science, 2018)Unlike animals, plants are sessile organisms, lacking circulating antibodies and specialized immune cells and are exposed to various harsh environmental conditions that make them at risk of being attacked by different ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Friction Stir Extruded Tubes
(2020-12)Friction Stir Back Extrusion (FSBE) is a new grade of severe plastic deformation processes capable of producing metallic tubular geometries that exhibit ultrafine grain structure and superior mechanical properties. FSBE ... -
Mechanical perturbation control of cardiac alternans
(American Physical Society, 2018)Cardiac alternans is a disturbance in heart rhythm that is linked to the onset of lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Mechanical perturbation control has been recently used to suppress alternans in cardiac tissue of relevant size. ... -
Mechanical Properties of Strengthening 5083-H111 Aluminum Alloy Plates at Elevated Temperatures
(MDPI, 2021)The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the strengthening efficiency. ... -
The mediating role of artifacts in position practice at work: Examples from a project-based context
(Elsevier, 2019-06)Drawing on examples from a case study of a global product technology company, we discuss the mediating role of artifacts in position practice in project-based contexts. Findings revealed three types of mediation – ... -
