Synthesis of MgFe2O4/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite and Its Visible-Light Photocatalytic Performance for Organic Pollution by Fengmin Wu, Wenlu Duan, Mei Li, Hang Xu

“…In this paper, to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of MgFe2O4, a MgFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (MFO/rGO) photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile generalized solvothermal method. The morphology, structure, and photocatalytic activities in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) reaction were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. …”

Feature Selection and Classifier Parameters Estimation for EEG Signals Peak Detection Using Particle Swarm Optimization by Asrul Adam, Mohd Ibrahim Shapiai, Mohd Zaidi Mohd Tumari, Mohd Saberi Mohamad, Marizan Mubin

“…However, there is no study that provides the importance of every peak feature in contributing to a good and generalized model. In this study, feature selection and classifier parameters estimation based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) are proposed as a framework for peak detection on EEG signals in time domain analysis. …”

High-Impedance Fault Detection in DC Microgrid Lines Using Open-Set Recognition by Ivan Grcić, Hrvoje Pandžić

“…Remarkably, the proposed solution eliminates the need for hard-to-model high-impedance faults in the training dataset and hence is more generally applicable. The proposed method consistently outperforms commercially available high-impedance fault detection systems, achieving high accuracy in fault detection.…”

The effect of prone positioning on maternal haemodynamics and fetal wellbeing in the third trimester-A primary cohort study with a scoping review. by Laura Ormesher, Jessica Catchpole, Linda Peacock, Heather Pitt, Anastasia Fabian-Hunt, Dexter Hayes, Claudia Popp, Jason M Carson, Raoul van Loon, Lynne Warrander, Karli Büchling, Alexander E P Heazell

“…Anxiety was reduced after the procedure, compared to beforehand (p = 0.002), despite a marginal decline in comfort (p = 0.04).The model predicted that if occlusion of the inferior vena cava occurred, the sBP, dBP and CO would generally decrease. However, the TVR remained relatively consistent, which implies that the MAP and CO decrease at a similar rate when occlusion occurs. …”

« Je ne suis pas un zéro ». Pour une distinction entre absence d’article et article zéro en anglais contemporain by Florent Moncomble

“…Most interpretations of the absence of marked determiners in English are monolithic, insofar as they contend that all uses can be grouped under one heading, generally “zero article”. Some linguists argue that the expression “absence of article” would be more appropriate, yet do not question the validity of the monolithic approach.In this article, we support the idea that a number of structures involving the absence of a marked determiner are indeed cases where no determination whatsoever occurs. …”

Estonian book historiography by Mare Lott

“…During more than 50 years of study of books and book problems, a large body of factual material has been assembled and generalized. However, the development of the theoretical basis of the study of the Estonian book and the publication of research results is hindered by the lack of a center for scientific book study. …”
