The Function of Remote Sensing in Support of Environmental Policy

Limited awareness of environmental remote sensing’s potential ability to support environmental policy development constrains the technology’s utilization. This paper reviews the potential of earth observation from the perspective of environmental policy. A literature review of “remote sensing and policy” revealed that while the number of publications in this field increased almost twice as rapi...

Daisyphone: Support for Remote Music Collaboration

We have seen many new and exciting developments in new interfaces for musical expression. In this paper we present the design of an interface for remote group music improvisation and composition – Daisyphone. The approach relies on players creating and editing short shared loops of music which are semi-synchronously updated. The interface emphasizes the looping nature of the music and is design...

Remote Conversation Support for People with Aphasia

This paper proposes a remote conversation support system for people with aphasia. The aim of our system is to improve the quality of lives (QoL) of people suffering cognitive disabilities. In this framework, a topic list is used as a conversation assistant in addition to the video phone. The important feature is sharing the focus of attention on the topic list between a patient and the communic...

Pharmacological evaluation of the novel thromboxane modulator BM-567 (I/II). Effects of BM-567 on platelet function.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of BM-567 (N-pentyl-N'-[(2-cyclohexylamino-5-nitrobenzene)sulfonyl]urea), a torasemide derivative, on both thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) receptors (TP) and thromboxane synthase of human platelets. The drug affinity for TP receptors of human washed platelets has been determined. In this test, BM-567 showed a high affinity (IC(50): 1.1+/-0.1nM) for the...
