High frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in the X-ray radiation of the black hole binary GRS 1915+105
GRS 1915+105 is an accreting black-hole in a binary system located in the Milky Way. It is one of the most variable X-ray sources known, and 12 variability classifications have been defined, many of which appear to be repetitive cycles of accretion instability. We study one particular variability …

Investigation of Required Tensile Strength Predicted by Current Reinforced Soil Design Methodologies
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) is a promising technology that can be implemented in walls, culverts, rock fall barriers, and bridge abutments. Its use in walls and abutments is similar to Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls (MSEW) reinforced with geosynthetics. Both GRS and MSEW are reinforced …

Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil: Numerical and Mathematical Analysis of Laboratory Triaxial Compression Tests
Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) is a soil improvement technology in which closely spaced horizontal layers of geosynthetic are embedded in a soil mass to provide lateral support and increase strength. GRS is popular due to a relatively new application for bridge support, as well as long-standing …

VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR THE INTERPRETATION AND USE OF ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION GLOBAL RATING SCALE SCORES
… of Communication — Global Rating Scale (EEC-GRS) to teach and assess patient-centered communication skills. The instrument contains seven, behaviorally anchored Elements, which support the validity and reliability of scores. This study evaluated new validity evidence that supports the …

Free-fall of LISA Test Masses: a new torsion pendulum to test translational acceleration
… Among them, the Gravitational Reference Sensor (GRS) plays a crucial role in fulfilling the 3×10−15 m/(s2Hz1/2) requirement in terms of purity of geodesic motion of LISA reference free-falling Test Masses (TM), which sets the instrument sensitivity limit below about 1 mHz. The GRS must assure at …

Capture and recovery of organic gases with electrothermal swing adsorption and post-desorption treatment
… a new bench-scale ACFC-ESA gas recovery system (GRS) with post-desorption condensation was developed and tested with four organic gases and under a select range of process conditions to assess its effectiveness for capturing and recovering organic gases. The GRS was tested to determine the mass …

ON THE SPECTRA OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS AT HIGH ENERGIES
… and 1983 August the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) on the Solar Maximum Mission satellite (SMM) observed 71 gamma-ray bursts. These events form a representative subset of the class of classical gamma-ray bursts. Since their discovery more than 15 years ago, hundreds of gamma-ray bursts have …

Translating autoimmune genetic risk scores into improved prediction and classification of disease
… these issues by utilising genetic risk scores (GRS) to enhance type 1 diabetes prediction, differential diagnosis, and mechanistic classification. The lack of genetic risk score standardisation typically arises due to their complex generation and use of proxies within missing data. In chapter 2, …

Delta-development of a critical space mechanism based on on-ground and in-flight testing experience
… version of a gravitational reference system (GRS) was flown demonstrating performance already aligned with the LISA needs. The main functions of the GRS are to enclose the TM and shield it from external disturbances, while allowing it to be in free fall. The GRS is composed by several …
