Investigation and analysis of the causes of 11/0.4 kV distribution transformers' high failure rate : case study - Swaziland Electricity Company by Maziya, Mphumuzi Thembinkosi

“…Footing resistances were also recorded at the transformer structures and if there was a need, they were reduced to 10 Ω or less using the crowfoot earthing method or a combination of the crowfoot earthing method and conductive cement.…”

Crystal engineering of mixed-ligand metal-organic frameworks based on simple carboxylate and bipyridyl ligands by Mutti, Marcello

“…Dehydration and rehydration studies performed by combining powder X-ray diffraction with thermogravimetric analysis show that it can lose coordinated water, that comes from the reaction solvent, upon heating, and reabsorb water from the atmosphere, ultimately regaining its original structure. …”

Towards a framework for multi class statistical modelling of shape, intensity, and kinematics in medical images by Fouefack, Jean-Rassaire

“…Statistical shape, appearance (intensity profile in images) and pose models are popular priors to explain variability across a sample population of rigid structures. However, a principled and robust way to combine shape, pose and intensity features has been elusive for four main reasons: 1) heterogeneity of the data (data with linear and non-linear natural variation across features); 2) sub-optimal representation of three-dimensional Euclidean motion; 3) artificial discretization of the models; and 4) lack of an efficient transfer learning process to project observations into the latent space. …”
