An effect due to fusion born triton production has been observed in JET high-performance deuterium plasma discharges with neutral beam injection (NBI) and H-minority ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating, using DD and deuterium tritium (DT) neutron spectrometry as well as fusion product loss measurements. The observations show that a decrease of the second harmonic omega = 2 omega(cD) enhancement of the DD neutron rate correlates ...

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the ability to discriminate between benign and malignant adnexal masses of different size using: subjective assessment, two International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) logistic regression models (LR1 and LR2), the IOTA simple rules and the risk of malignancy index (RMI). METHODS: We used a multicenter IOTA database of 2445 patients with at least one adnexal mass, i.e. the database previously used to prospectively validate ...

We report on the growth of thin NiSi films via the thermal reaction of Ni layers (13-35 nm) with Si(100) substrates modified by ion implantation. By introducing substrate damage or nitrogen impurities prior to the solid-phase reaction, several properties of the NiSi films can be modified: the formation temperature, texture, diffusion-limited growth rate and morphological stability. As some of the modifications to the NiSi films are rooted in the ...

© 2016 IEEE. The semiconductor industry has been driving a major part of its growth through first the PC and more recently the mobile market. Unfortunately, the PC market is in decline and also the end of the growth curve for mobile products is in sight now that virtually everyone on the planet has a smartphone and/or tablet. Hence, the semiconductor industry is putting its bets on 'Internet of Things' (IoT) as the next application wave that ...

We extend the classical first order logic with partially defined iota terms in order to model the way partial functions are treated in common mathematical practice.

Internet of Animal Health Things is an upcoming domain in both professional and domestic fields related to animal welfare monitoring including dairy cows, racehorses and domestic dogs. Wireless Body Area Networks represent a large allotment in the realization of these applications. Characterization of the path loss between on-body nodes in various surroundings is required when deploying such network. In this paper, the path loss between various ...

The broad range of requirements of IoT applications has led to the development of several dedicated communication technologies, each tailored to meet a specific feature set. A solution combining different wireless technologies in one device can overcome the disadvantages of any individual technology. The design of such multi-RAT solutions based on the diverse characteristics of the technologies offers interesting opportunities. We have assessed ...
