Heat stress in chemical protective clothing: porosity and vapour resistance
(2011)
Heat strain in chemical protective clothing is an important factor in industrial and military practice. Various improvements to the clothing to alleviate strain while maintaining protection have been attempted. More recently, ...
Selective adsorption of lead, copper and antimony in runoff water from a small arms shooting range with a combination of charcoal and iron hydroxide
(2015)
Metals and metalloids from ammunition residues at small arms shooting ranges leach into the soil and surrounding watercourses and may pose a threat to exposed wildlife and humans. To reduce the potential impact of heavy ...
All Molecular Surfaces are Equal: Demanding Invariance of Predictions in Linear Single-Variable Models
(2016)
The molecular surface has been suggested to be a region of the molecule where information of non-covalent intermolecular interactions is present. Many workers have pursued this idea by constructing models based on statistical ...
High-power, 1-ps, all-Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier
(2016)
We report a 100 W, 20 mJ, 1-ps, all-Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier seeded by a microjoule-level Yb:YAG thin-disk Kerr-lens mode-locked oscillator. The regenerative amplifier is implemented in a chirped pulse ...
Chemoselective O-acylation of hydroxyamino acids and amino alcohols under acidic reaction conditions: History, scope and applications
(2015)
Amino acids, whether natural, semisynthetic or synthetic, are among the most important and useful chiral building blocks available for organic chemical synthesis. In principle, they can function as inexpensive, chiral and ...
Disturbance-specific social responses in long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas
(2016)
Social interactions among animals can influence their response to disturbance. We investigated responses of long-finned pilot whales to killer whale sound playbacks and two anthropogenic sources of disturbance: tagging ...
Temporal stability of X-band single-pass InSAR heights in a spruce forest: Effects of acquisition properties and season
(2015)
We investigated the stability of TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) heights across eight repeated acquisitions. With InSAR height we mean the height above ground of the scattering phase center. We ...
Cerebrospinal Fluid Phosphate in Delirium after Hip Fracture
(2017)
Aims: Phosphate is essential for neuronal activity. We aimed to investigate whether delirium is associated with altered phosphate concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Methods: Seventy-seven patients with ...
Uniform semiglobal exponential stability of integral line-of-sight guidance laws
(2015)
This paper proves that an integral line-of-sight guidance law for path following control of underactuated marine vessels provides uniform semiglobal exponential stability. The stability result is stronger than what has ...
Bond strength and performance of optical fibre Bragg gratings sensors embedded in composite patch repairs for military aircraft
(2016)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are recognized as a key element in a modern
and efficient approach to structural lifecycle management. With novel applications of advanced materials, such as extensive use of ...
