Using a wide range of techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Rapid Visco Analyser and Fourier Transform Infera Red Spectroscopy, some physicochemical properties of the starch fraction of six Iranian rice cultivars (Tarom, Tarome Hashemi, Neda, Ramezani, Fajr and Kamfirouzi) [1]were studied and compared. DSC data showed that starch granules of different rice ...

The task group on Signal Analysis within the EC Concerted Action 'Methodology for the analysis of the sleep-wakefulness continuum' has proposed general guidelines for a computer-based sleep analyser that would not suffer from the most conspicuous limitations of manual standard scoring. The proposal specifies a standard format for digitized polygraphic recordings, a basic structure of the analys...

Ohletz [1] described a mixed signal circuit architecture which can be reconfigured to allow built-inself-test of both analogue and digital parts. In testing the analogue section an on board test signal can be generated from digital components, the analogue test output fed through an A-D converter and the resulting digital bit stream used as the input to a digital signature analyser. Clearly suc...

An automatic method using an analogue analyser is described for obtaining an index which is based on the mean phase duration of an EMG signal. This method gives similar values for motor unit action potential duration to an alternative digital method of analysis based on the distribution of time intervals between zero crossings of the EMG signal. The analysis has been found to give good discrimi...

Fluorescence flow cytometry enhances analytical possibilities beyond the normal 5-part differential by providing excellent cluster resolution and separation of abnormal blood cells. A nucleated red blood cell count (NRBC) and an immature granulocyte count (IG) are part of an extended differential on the xe systems with the potential to improve the diagnostic usefulness of the routine 5-part dif...

In this paper, the nonlinear differential equation for the convection of the temperature distribution of a straight fin  with the thermal conductivity depends on the temperature is solved using Adomian Decomposition Method and Padé approximation(PADM) for boundary problems. Actual results are then compared with results obtained previously  using digital solution by Runge–Kuttamethod and a diffe...

Measuring and evaluating the quality of laser sources used in optical communications precision measurement system is essential. Relative intensity noise (RIN) a parameter that directly affects quality. Therefore, RIN needs to be measured periodically. This study presents high-sensitivity, broadband (40 GHz) using precisely temperature-controlled photodetector an electrical spectrum signal analy...

A dosage rate reduction of plant protection products mixed with water, i.e. spray mixture, in a prescribed concentration the vineyard will only be possible future, if natural characteristics vine canopy structures (leaf wall area) and management are taken into account. In practical experiment we evaluated leaf area cv. Sauvignon on different segments left right side canopy. We compared results ...

Although acrometastases are rare but clinically they are considered important. Their etiology is quite different from the metastases to other sites; bronchogenic carcinoma is by far the most frequent case. The prognosis is always similar to metastatic bronchial cancer with an average survival of three mo...

I. This paper will describe a new machine for the solution of ordinary differential equations recently placed in service at the Massachusetts Inst i tute of Technology. First, there will be outlined some of the objectives in view, and the general philosophy underlying the development of this type of analyzing device. Various serious mechanical problems have of necessity been met in the effort t...
