The invention relates to a method for preparing enantiomerically pure 4-pyrrolidinophenylbenzyl ether derivatives of formula I: wherein R, R, R, R, Rand n are as defined in the description and claims and to intermediates useful in the m ...
A method for separating and recovering silicon debris from sawing waste is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - treating the sawing waste so as to deoxidize the silicon debris in a manner that reduces their surface energy, - applying t ...
The Distinct Element Method (DEM) is a popular tool to perform granular media simulations. The two key elements this requires are an adequate model for inter-particulate contact forces and an efficient contact detection method. Originally, this method was ...
Speaker Diarization is the process of partitioning an audio input into homogeneous segments according to speaker identity where the number of speakers in a given audio input is not known a priori. This master thesis presents a novel initialization method f ...
We give a new, combinatorial proof for the necklace splitting problem for two thieves using only Tucker's lemma (a combinatorial version of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem). We show how this method can be applied to obtain a related recent result of Simonyi and ev ...
Deciding consistency of constraint networks is a fundamental problem in qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. In this paper we introduce a divide-and-conquer method that recursively partitions a given problem into smaller sub-problems in deciding con ...
The performance of microfabricated piezoresistive cantilever array sensors has been evaluated using various vapors of volatile organic compounds including alkanes with different chain length from 5 (n-pentane) to 14 (n-tetradecane). We demonstrate that pie ...
The invention relates to an additive which can be added to buffers used in nucleotide detection processes and improved methods of nucleic acid sequencing using this additive. In particular the invention relates to use of the additive to improve the efficie ...
A magnetic beads based immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis method for total Immunoglobulin E quantification in serum has been developed. The method combines speed, automation ability, and minimal sample consumption. Only 1 μL of serum is required whil ...
