Because of the public concern surrounding the issue of the safety of genetically modified organisms, it is critical to have appropriate methodologies to aid investigators in identifying potential hazards associated with consumption of foods produced with these materials. A recent panel of experts convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization suggested there is ...

Low-energy electron diffraction patterns, produced from quasicrystal surfaces by ion sputtering and annealing to temperatures below ∼700 K, can be assigned to various terminations of the cubic CsCl structure. The assignments are based upon ratios of spot spacings, estimates of surface lattice constants, bulk phase diagrams vs surface compositions, and comparisons with previous work. The CsCl ov...

Abstract: This paper addresses a modified optimal control strategy for a 14-degrees-of-freedom, five-finger robotic hand to improve accuracy and reduce convergence time by modifying the performance index embedded with an exponential term. First, the trajectory planning of the joints of each finger is designed by using cubic polynomial. Then the kinematic and dynamic equations of the robotic han...

This paper describes an implementation of the Cubic Rational Polynomial Camera model developed as part of the FOCUS project. FOCUS ([1]) is on ongoing “shared vision” IR&D project jointly sponsored by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space (LMMSS/Sunnyvale) and General Electric CR&D. A cubic camera has the advantage that all cameras, such as projective, affine and the linear pushbroom, which map th...

The incidence of essential or primary hypertension is increasing, especially in the northern hemisphere, but although the disease displays clear symptoms, its aetiology appears very complex, and thus no causal treatment is available yet. In the 1990's, genetically modified animals (GMO) were considered to be the key to solving this problem of high complexity. However, until now, although a few ...

Genetically engineered mouse models have contributed extensively to the field of cancer research. The ability to manipulate the mouse germline affords numerous approaches toward understanding the complexities of this disease, possibly providing accurate preclinical models for therapeutic and diagnostic advances. This review highlights some of the current strategies for modeling cancer in the mo...

The present paper aims to investigate the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation in magneto-optic waveguides having anti-cubic (AC) law nonlinearity. solitons secured with AC nonlinearity are extremely useful fiber-optic transmission technology. Three constructive techniques, namely, $$(G^{\prime }/G)$$ -expansion method, modified simple and extended tanh method utilized find exact soliton solu...
