Experimental study of exhaust emissions and performance of a dual fuel IDI diesel engine by Badr, O.

“…Methane and, sometime, propane were used as the gaseous fuel while regular diesel fuel was used as the pilot one. The admission of more gaseous fuel with the intake air increased the engine power, thermal efficiency, and NOx emissions while CO and UHC emissions increased up to the flame initiation limit beyond which they decreased sharply. …”

Fluctuations in cardiac stroke volume during rowing by Sejersen, Casper

“…Also, SV fluctuated markedly during the stroke with deviations being largest at the higher work rate. Thus, SV decreased by 27 ± 10% (31 ± 11 mL) at the beginning of the stroke and increased by 25 ± 9% (28 ± 10 mL) in the recovery (P =.013), while breathing was entrained with one breath during the drive of the stroke and one prior to the next stroke. …”

Energy optimization for bidirectional multimedia communication in unsynchronized TDD systems by Zorba, Nizar

“…In this paper, we concentrate on the time-division duplexing (TDD) option and how to efficiently allocate energy on both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) channels that share the same bandwidth but over different time intervals. One of the main advantages of TDD is the possibility for load compensation between UL and DL, by allocating a larger percentage of time for the operation in DL if the system is congested in DL, and vice versa. …”
