In this study, a focused investigation of the potential for the King Salmon (KS) SuperDARN HF radar to monitor high-velocity flows near the equatorial edge of the auroral oval is undertaken.Events are presented with Coffee Maker (Glass Carafe) line-of-sight velocities as high as 2km/s, observed roughly along the L-shell.Statistically, the enhanced

Abstract Background Most pancreatic cancer patients present with advanced stage at diagnosis with extremely short expected survival and few treatment options.A multimodal palliative approach is necessary for symptom relief and optimisation of health-related quality of life.In a recent open-label trial of mistletoe extract for advanced pancreatic ca

The classical capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is a very popular combinatorial optimization problem in the field of logistics and supply chain management.Although CVRP has drawn interests of many researchers, no standard way has been established yet to obtain best known solutions for all the different problem sets.We propose an efficient

Background The effect of intrauterine hyperglycemia on fat mass and regional fat proportion of the offspring of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (OGDM) remains to be determined.Methods The body composition of OGDM (n=25) and offspring of normoglycemic mothers (n=49) was compared using dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry at age 5 years.The rel

Wide field Raman imaging using the integral field spectroscopy approach was used as a fast, one shot imaging method for the simultaneous collection of all spectra composing a Raman image.For the suppression of autofluorescence and background signals such as room light, shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) was applied to remove b
