Repetitive Control for High-Performance Resonant Pulsed Power Supply in Radio Frequency Applications (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a novel three-phase series resonant parallel loaded resonant converter topology for radio frequency applications. The proposed converter is capable of producing a series of “long pulses” as output voltage, each one lasting 1 ms in...

Pretty faces, marginal races: Predicting election outcomes using trait assessments of British parliamentary candidates (2013)
Journal Article

The conventional wisdom on Western European politics leads us to believe that all the "action" lies with parties, because the unified parliamentary delegations in Western Europe draw voters' attention to parties' policies and images. Though British e... Read More about Pretty faces, marginal races: Predicting election outcomes using trait assessments of British parliamentary candidates.

Pharmacological enhancement of leg and muscle microvascular blood flow does not augment anabolic responses in skeletal muscle of young men under fed conditions (2013)
Journal Article

Skeletal muscle anabolism associated with postprandial plasma aminoacidemia and insulinemia is contingent upon amino acids (AA) and insulin crossing the microcirculation-myocyte interface. In this study, we hypothesized that increasing muscle microva...

Audit of the autoantibody test, EarlyCDT®-Lung, in 1600 patients: An evaluation of its performance in routine clinical practice (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives EarlyCDT®-Lung may enhance detection of early stage lung cancer by aiding physicians in assessing high-risk patients through measurement of biological markers (i.e., autoantibodies). The test's performance characteristics in routine clini...

An experimental investigation on the operating characteristics of cold storage ejector cooling system with finned tube inside a cylindrical PCM tank was presented in this paper. The PCM cold storage tank was coupled with the evaporator to store the e... Read More about Experimental investigation on PCM cold storage integrated with ejector cooling system.

The pathophysiology of fluid and electrolyte balance in the older adult surgical patient (2013)
Journal Article

Background & aims: Age-related physiological changes predispose even the healthy older adult to fluid and electrolyte abnormalities which can cause morbidity and mortality. The aim of this narrative review is to highlight key aspects of age-relat... Read More about The pathophysiology of fluid and electrolyte balance in the older adult surgical patient.

Migration and imperfect labor markets: theory and cross-country evidence from Denmark, Germany and the UK (2013)
Journal Article

We investigate the labor market effects of immigration in Denmark, Germany and the UK, three countries which are characterized by considerable differences in labor market institutions and welfare states. Institutions such as collective bargaining, mi... Read More about Migration and imperfect labor markets: theory and cross-country evidence from Denmark, Germany and the UK.

Baxter Operator Formalism for Macdonald Polynomials (2013)
Journal Article

We develop basic constructions of the Baxter operator formalism for the Macdonald polynomials associated with root systems of type A. Precisely, we construct a bispectral pair of mutually commuting Baxter operators such that the Macdonald polynomials... Read More about Baxter Operator Formalism for Macdonald Polynomials.

Perinatal maternal life events and psychotic experiences in children at twelve years in a birth cohort study (2013)
Journal Article

Background: International studies indicate that the median prevalence of psychotic experiences in children is 7%. It has been proposed that environmental stress during pregnancy may affect the neurodevelopment of the foetus and lead to a vulnerabilit...
