Hiflow: Generating diverse hi maps and inferring cosmology while marginalizing over astrophysics using normalizing flows
(IOP Publishing, 2022)A wealth of cosmological and astrophysical information is expected from many ongoing and upcoming large-scale surveys. It is crucial to prepare for these surveys now and develop tools that can efficiently extract ... -
High 16S rDNA bacterial diversity in glacial meltwater lake sediment, Bratina Island, Antarctica
(Springer Verlag, 2003)The microbial diversity in maritime meltwater pond sediments from Bratina Island, Ross Sea, Antarctica was investigated by 16S rDNA-dependent molecular phylogeny. Investigations of the vertical distribution, phylogenetic ... -
High Concussion Rate in Student Community Rugby Union Players During the 2018 Season: Implications for Future Research Directions
(UWC, 2019)Collision sports, such as Rugby Union (“Rugby”) have a particularly high risk of injury. Of all injuries common to collision sports, concussions have received the most attention due to the potentially negative cognitive ... -
High levels of oxidation–reduction potential in frozen-thawed human semen are significantly correlated with poor post-thaw sperm quality
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)This study examined the relationship between oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) in frozen-thawed semen and the post-thaw sperm parameters. Levels of ORP were measured in 25 samples from men presenting for routine infertility ... -
High Molecular-gas to Dust Mass Ratios Predicted in Most Quiescent Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2021)Observations of cold molecular gas reservoirs are critical for understanding the shutdown of star formation in massive galaxies. While dust continuum is an efficient and affordable tracer, this method relies upon the ... -
High power asymmetric supercapacitor based on activated carbon/reduced graphene oxide electrode system
(Elsevier, 2023-02-22)We synthesized Graphene oxide (GO) using the modified Hummers method and further reduced to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using hydrazine monohydrate and ammonia solution. The prepared materials were interrogated using ... -
High stability asymmetric supercapacitor cell developed with novel microwave-synthesized graphene-stabilized ruthenium antimonide nanomaterial
(Elsevier, 2023-02-06)Ruthenium antimony oxide (RuSbO), and ruthenium antimony oxide graphene (RuSbO-G) nanomaterial was synthesized via the microwave-assisted method for the first time and tested as a possible electrode material for an asymmetric ... -
High temperature (HT) polymer electrolyte membrande fuel cells (PEMFC) - A review
(Elsevier, 2013)One possible solution of combating issues posed by climate change is the use of the High Temperature (HT) Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell (FC) in some applications. The typical HT-PEMFC operating temperatures ... -
High-depth African genomes inform human migration and health
(Choudhury, A. et al. (2021). Author correction: High-depth African genomes inform human migration and health (nature, (2020), 586, 7831, (741-748), 10.1038/s41586-020-2859-7). Nature, 592(7856), E26. doi:10.1038/s41586-021-03286-9, 2021)The African continent is regarded as the cradle of modern humans and African genomes contain more genetic variation than those from any other continent, yet only a fraction of the genetic diversity among African individuals ... -
The high-ion content and kinematics of low-redshift lyman limit systems
(The American Astronomical Society, 2013)We study the high-ion content and kinematics of the circumgalactic medium around low-redshift galaxies using a sample of 23 Lyman limit systems (LLSs) at 0.08 < z < 0.93 observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on ... -
