A Sinusoidal Encoder-to-Digital Converter Based on an Improved Tangent Method
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Sinusoidal encoders are used for the measurement of angular position and linear displacement. These provide electrical signals dependent on the sine and cosine of the position θ of their moving part relative to the stationary ...
Vacuum structure and PT -symmetry breaking of the non-Hermetian (iϕ3) theory
(
American Physical Society
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, we study the PT -symmetric (iϕ3) theory using the effective action formalism. To test the accuracy of the used technique, we apply it first to the PT -symmetric (−ϕ4) theory, where we reproduce the same results ...
A Cross-Coupling Approach to Amide Bond Formation from Esters
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between aryl esters and anilines is reported, enabling access to diverse amides. The reaction takes place via activation of the C-O bond by oxidative addition with a Pd-NHC complex, ...
Facile Assembly of Aligned Magnetic Nanoparticle Chains in Polymer Nanocomposite Films by Magnetic Flow Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Magnetic nanoparticle chains are found in biosystems, such as in the brain of migratory birds. Inspired by natural assemblies, in a novel approach, the facile assembly of magnetically aligned polymer grafted cobalt ...
Pharmacists' confidence when providing pharmaceutical care on anticoagulants, a multinational survey
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
Background Guidelines on the management of orally anticoagulated patients are continuously evolving, leading to an increased need for pharmacists to be fully integrated in care provision. Objective To identify self-reported ...
Fault-tolerant control of non-linear systems based on adaptive virtual actuator
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2017 , Article)
A new adaptive fault-tolerant control architecture for Lipschitz non-linear systems is developed. Specifically, the proposed approach involves a novel adaptive virtual actuator which is inserted between the faulty plant ...
Eeonomer 200F: A High-Performance Nanofiller for Polymer Reinforcement-Investigation of the Structure, Morphology and Dielectric Properties of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Eeonomer-200F Nanocomposites for Embedded Capacitor Applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, Eeonomer 200F® was used as a high-performance nanofiller to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based nanocomposite films using a simple and eco-friendly solution casting technique. The prepared PVA/Eeonomer ...
Distributed reconfigurable control strategies for switching topology networked multi-agent systems
(
ISA - Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, distributed control reconfiguration strategies for directed switching topology networked multi-agent systems are developed and investigated. The proposed control strategies are invoked when the agents are ...
Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors among University Female Students
(
Radcliffe Medical Press
, 2017 , Article)
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a main cause
of morbidity and mortality globally. High levels of cholesterol
are considered a major risk factor of CHD. This study sought to
find out the prevalence of high ...
Stature estimation from the femur and tibia in Black South African sub-adults
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Stature estimation can play a role in the positive identification of unknown individuals and as such it is routinely assessed during the examination of adult remains. Unfortunately, this is not a standard procedure when ...
