Electromagnetic interferences are potentially very complex signals formed by the superposition of transient (broadband) and continuous wave (narrowband) components with significant randomness in both amplitude phase. Decomposing electromagnetic interference measured time domain into a set intrinsic mode functions is useful to gain insights process that generates interference. Evaluating contributes improving measurement capabilities time-domain emissions systems based on general-purpose...

We performed a genome-wide mapping for the age at first calving (AFC) with goal of annotating candidate genes that regulate fertility in Nellore cattle. Phenotypic data from 762 cows and 777k SNP genotypes 2,992 bulls were used. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects based on single-step GBLUP methodology blocked into adjacent windows 1 Megabase (Mb) to explain genetic variance. explaining more than 0.40% AFC variance identified chromosomes 2, 8, 9, 14, 16 17. From these windows, we...

This article is intended to provide a set of recommended practices for improving the Time-Domain EMI measurement systems by means digital signal processing. We have focused on two major aspects: optimal configuration settings direct equipment and deployment algorithms process result. In that sense, we believe general purpose time-domain instruments, as oscilloscopes, can be successfully used an alternative hardware measure EMI, since they accurate reliable results, surpassing conventional...

A common source of noise for digital communication systems is the radiated transient interference. As an example, it has been reported that degradation produced to Global System Mobile (GSM)-Railway signaling system when impulsive generated by sparks caused discontinuity between catenary and pantograph. Concerning measurement evaluation procedures defined in electromagnetic compatibility standards, they are not suitable these types disturbances. Therefore, new techniques must be developed...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the most critical global health threats of 21st century. AMR primarily driven by use and misuse antibiotics but can be affected socioeconomic environmental factors. Reliable comparable estimates over time are essential to making public decisions, defining research priorities, evaluating interventions. However, for developing regions scant. We describe evolution priority antibiotic-bacterium pairs in Chile examine their association with hospital...
