Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the COVID-... by Schumacher, Austin E.

“…Estimates of child and adult mortality rates were then used to generate life tables with a relational model life table system. For countries with large HIV epidemics, life tables were adjusted using independent estimates of HIV-specific mortality generated via an epidemiological analysis of HIV prevalence surveys, antenatal clinic serosurveillance, and other data sources. …”

Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait by Al-Abdulmuhsen, Shaikhah A. N.

“…Moreover, with increasing fines, the compressibility increased as demonstrated by the larger values of Cc at all degrees of relative compaction except at 100% and that the coefficient of consolidation Cv decreased with increasing fines, which means that as the fines increase the time required to achieve a certain degree of consolidation will also increase.…”

Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2 by Onn, Tzia Ming

“…Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, caused a large decrease in surface area and an increase in crystallite size between 673 K and 1073 K; however, catalysts modified by 0.4 nm ZrO2 films showed no change in either surface area or CeO2 crystallite size upon calcination to 1073 K. …”

Towards energy efficient and quality of service aware cell zooming in 5G wireless networks by Lateef, Hafiz Yasar

“…The exponential growth of mobile data traffic would lead to dense deployment of small base stations and eventually higher energy consumption in Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks. We formulate a dynamic cell zooming and base stations sleep optimization algorithm for dense heterogeneous networks as a Linear Programming (LP) problem in order to not only minimize the system power consumption but also to guarantee the quality of service to end user. …”
