This article aims to assess, discuss and analyze the disturbances caused by electromagnetic field (EMF) noise of medical devices used near living tissues, as well as the corresponding functional control via the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of these devices. These are minimally invasive and non-ionizing devices allowing various healthcare act...

Many private and public actors in the security field use imaging systems with embedded X-ray accelerators for rail, seaports and border controls. These accelerators produce X-rays by the Bremsstrahlung effect, leading the output beam to have a very wide energy spectrum which precise form is difficult to know, especially the end-point energy. Master...

The nickel-titanium alloy known as Nitinol classified as a shape memory alloy is distinguished by its exceptional attributes, including shape memory effect, biocompatibility, and superelasticity. However, its thermo-mechanical dependent transformation behavior makes it difficult to process using traditional methods. Electrochemical micromachining (...

Dairy cows that are unable to adapt to a change in their metabolic status are at risk for hyperketonaemia (HK). Reported HK herd level prevalences range a lot and we hypothesized that this is partly due to differences in used tests and monitoring protocols. Insights in milk β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) metrics can potentially explain why the reported in...

We present a new approach to report, in the section of International Bureau of Weights and Measures Circular T, daily values of the offset between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the predictions of UTC broadcast by the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), this quantity we name bUTCGNSS. In this approach, the determination of UTC-bUTCGNS...

The Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) is an endemic species distributed in Spain and Portugal. Myxomatosis outbreaks affecting this species were detected in 2018 in Central and Southern Spain, spreading afterward. Aiming to evaluate factors affecting the status of hare population after the arrival of myxomatosis, we conducted 108 nocturnal hare coun...
