Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) around the time of pregnancy is a recognized global health problem with damaging consequences. However, little is known about the effect of violence assessment and ...

Amidst the rapid development of the fifth generation (5G) networks, Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as one of the most important part of 5G next generation networks as it can support massive object communications. ...

The Digital Divide is one of the key challenges for mankind. Despite attempts to digitally include people, the divide is bigger than ever. This contribution [1] to a sustainable future promotes “Internet lite” as the new ...

There is a profound duality between rays and waves. In fact, 70 years ago, in the context of quantum mechanics, Feynman showed that rays, properly equipped with phases and correctly summed, provide exact solutions of the ...

A complete chemical and morphological analysis of the evolution of battery electrode materials can be achieved combining different and complementary techniques. Operando small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle ...

KBaPO4 – recently reported to hydrate in steam at 80°C into a novel low-temperature protonic conductor – was synthesized by a solid state reaction and its electrical properties characterized by impedance spectroscopy. At ...

Results for (La,Mg)Ni3.5 and (La,Mg)(Ni,Al)3.5 systems synthesized by metallurgical and mechanochemical techniques are reported. Powder X-ray and neutron diffraction combined with Rietveld refinements and profile analysis ...

Ultraviolet (UV) SO2 cameras have become a common tool to measure and monitor SO2 emission rates, mostly from volcanoes but also from anthropogenic sources (e.g., power plants or ships). Over the past decade, the analysis ...

In this paper we present a novel method for measuring temperature dependent lifetime images with high spatial resolution using photoconductance calibrated photoluminescence (PL) imaging. In order to achieve this, PL images ...

The single-photon detectionefficiency of the detector unit is crucial for the security of common quantum key distribution protocols like Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84). A low value for the efficiency indicates a possible ...

We present a method for extracting local recombination rates from photoluminescence images of double side passivated wafers, using simulations of lateral charge carrier diffusion in two dimensions. By fitting the simulated ...

Conventional textbook treatments on electromagnetic wave propagation consider the induced charge and current densities as “bound” and therefore absorb them into a refractive index. In principle, it must also be possible ...
