TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of PCM-impregnated gypsum boards on improving the thermal performance of buildings in order to achieve such energy reduction goals was evaluated and four different criteria were considered and a simplified cost analysis was performed.

TL;DR: Time-averaged holograms describing the sound-induced motion of the tympanic membrane (TM) in cadaveric preparations from three mammalian species and one live ear were measured using opto-electronic holography to reveal unique TM surface displacement patterns that consist of highly-ordered arrangements of multiple local displacement magnitude maxima.

TL;DR: This work prepared nitrogen-doped carbon dots through an aqueous phase strategy using folic acid as precursor to prepared carbon dots with bright photoluminescence quantum yield of 23% and low toxicity.
Abstract: Carbon dots are promising scaffolds for multifunctional therapeutic systems because of their fluorescence property, good biocompatibility, and low toxicity. In this work, we prepared nitrogen-doped carbon dots through an aqueous phase strategy using folic acid as precursor. The carbon dots possess many attractive features including uniform dispersion with size about 9 nm, bright photoluminescence, high photoluminescence quantum yield of 23%, and low toxicity, making them excellent imaging probes for biomedical applications.

TL;DR: Results of a carefully designed user study that measures the impact of frame rate and frame resolution on user performance in a first person shooter game suggest frame rate has a marked impact on both player performance and game enjoyment while resolution has little impact on performance and some impact on enjoyment.
Abstract: The rates and resolutions for frames rendered in a computer game directly impact the player performance, influencing both the overall game playability and the game's enjoyability. Insights into the effects of frame rates and resolutions can guide users in their choice for game settings and new hardware purchases, and inform system designers in their development of new hardware, especially for embedded devices that often must make tradeoffs between resolution and frame rate. While there have been studies detailing the effects of frame rate and resolution on streaming video and other multimedia applications, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies quantifying the effects of frame rate and resolution on user performance for computer games. This paper presents results of a carefully designed user study that measures the impact of frame rate and frame resolution on user performance in a first person shooter game. Contrary to previous results for streaming video, frame rate has a marked impact on both player performance and game enjoyment while resolution has little impact on performance and some impact on enjoyment.
