An Intelligent Adaptive Filter for Elimination of Power Line Interference From High Resolution Electrocardiogram by Nauman Razzaq, Shafa-At Ali Sheikh, Muhammad Salman, Tahir Zaidi

“…The signals observed on the surface of human body have very low amplitude, and thus, ECG is highly vulnerable to noise. One of the most devastating noise is power line interference (PLI) and its harmonics, which are interlaced with ECG signal even if the ECG equipment is operated on battery. …”

Slow True Polar Wander Around Varying Equatorial Axes Since 320 Ma by Bram Vaes, Douwe J. J. vanHinsbergen

“…Long‐term TPW is typically inferred from large polar shifts in paleomagnetic apparent polar wander paths or computed directly by rotating them in a mantle reference frame. However, most apparent polar wander paths do not incorporate uncertainties in paleomagnetic data, which may bias estimates of TPW. …”

Cutting Indium Usage by 60% in SHJ-Modules Maintaining High Efficiency by Sebastian Pingel, Ioan Voicu Vulcanean, Charlotte Röhnelt, Winfried Wolke, Vasileios Georgiou-Sarlikiotis, Alexander Krieg, Martin Bivour, Anamaria Steinmetz

“…Solar cell samples with 60% reduced ITO layer thickness on front and rear sides show a similar series resistance level as the 70 nm reference but lower JSC. Optical simulation showed that module integration will recover most of the lost JSC resulting in an expected 0.5%abs. efficiency loss for samples with total (front & rear side) 60% less Indium without adding any process steps. …”
