Detection of variable VHE γ-ray emission from the extra-galactic γ-ray binary LMC P3
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Context. Recently, the high-energy (HE, 0.1–100 GeV) γ-ray emission from the object LMC P3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been discovered to be modulated with a 10.3-day period, making it the first extra-galactic ...
Experimental validation of a rotor delevitation model with quantified severity indicators
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper presents the experimental validation of BBSim: a non-linear model for simulation of rotor delevitation in an active magnetic bearing system with backup bearings (BBs). The rotor delevitation model’s purposes are ...
Using big data for insights into sustainable energy consumption in industrial and mining sectors
(Elsevier, 2018)
Human activities related to the production and consumption of energy are negatively impacting the environment and need to be addressed by focusing on cleaner production. With this perspective, this study investigates ...
Motor cortical and corticospinal function differ during an isometric squat compared with isometric knee extension
(Wiley, 2018)
It has been suggested that task‐specific changes in neurophysiological function (neuroplasticity) should be assessed using testing modalities that replicate the characteristics of the intervention. The squat is a commonly ...
Failure prediction of mine de-watering pumps
(Springer, 2018)
The de-watering reticulation system of a deep level mine requires a network of pumps to pump water from underground to the surface. These de-watering pumps are exposed to extreme operating conditions, which can result in ...

Phylogenetic analyses of bacteria associated with the processing of iru and ogiri condiments
(Wiley, 2018)
Analysis of the bacterial community dynamics during the production of traditional fermented condiments is important for food safety assessment, quality control and development of starter culture technology. In this study, ...
A survey of the state of condition-based maintenance (CBM) in the nuclear power industry
(Elsevier, 2018)
Condition-based maintenance (CBM) involves undertaking maintenance activities based on the health of the system. CBM has found useful applications in many industries. This paper presents a survey on the state of condition-based ...
The cross-tissue metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to functional hypoxia
(The Company of Biologists, 2018)
Functional hypoxia is a stress condition caused by the abalone itself as
a result of increased muscle activity, which generally necessitates the
employment of anaerobic metabolism if the activity is sustained for
prolonged ...
