The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies face a number of challenges in interpreting and reconciling short-duration (seconds to minutes) readings from mobile and handheld air sensors with the longer duration averages (hours to days) associated with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the criteria po
A fast and efficient data reuse scheme for HEVC Integer Motion Estimation hardware architecture
High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is a video compression standard designed to improve video compression efficiency compared to its predecessor, Advanced Video Coding (AVC).HEVC provides approximately twice the compression efficiency compared to the AVC.In the HEVC system, the most computational complexity module is the Motion Estimation (ME).ME m
Heat diffusion in a channel under white noise modeling of turbulence
A passive scalar equation for the heat diffusion and transport in an infinite channel is studied.The velocity field is white noise in time, modelling phenomenologically a turbulent fluid.Under Bottoms - Skirts the driving effect of a heat source, the phenomenon of eddy T-Shirts dissipation is investigated: the solution is close, in a weak sense, to
Mapping existing research on flushing peripheral vascular catheters: a scoping review protocol
Introduction The peripheral vascular catheter (PVC) is the most common intravenous Bottoms - Skirts medical device used in hospitals, given it is crucial for the delivery of intravenous therapies.Despite its widespread use, PVC complications such as occlusion, infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, catheter-related thrombosis and
The Effect of Sand and Dust Storms (SDSs) and Rain on the Performance of Cellular Networks in the Millimeter Wave Band
Future cellular systems are expected to use millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) frequency bands in addition to the existing microwave bands under Bedside Commodes 6 GHz.Severe weather conditions, including sand and dust storms (SDSs) and heavy rainfalls, challenge reliable communications over wireless links at those higher frequencies.In such conditions, bes
