Modems for digital communication often adopt the socalled correlative level coding or the partial-response signaling, which attains a desired spectral shaping by introducing controlled intersymbol interference terms. In this paper, a correlative level encoder is treated as a linear finite-state machine and an application of the maximumlikelihood decoding (MLD) algorithm, which was originally pr...

A genetic analysis of 126 correlative cases of Fallot's tetralogy has been performed. The isolated cases showed male predominance and a higher risk for the sibs of female cases, suggesting a multifactorial causative mechanism. Dermatoglyphs were typical, with a high number of whorls on the fingers and a tendency to distal t triradius. There were 13 cases belonging to polymalformative syndromes,...

For the first time, high quality images of metal nanoclusters which were recorded in the constant height mode of a dynamic scanning force microscope (dynamic SFM) are shown. Surfaces of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) were used as a test substrate since metal nanoclusters with well defined and symmetric shapes can be created by epitaxial growth. We performed imaging of gold clusters wi...

We present the clinical presentation, sonography, CT, and MR imaging as well as correlative intra-operative and gross pathological findings of ovarian torsion in a 14-year-old girl. Our findings are discussed in the context of prior imaging studies performed for the evaluation of ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion is not an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain in children and teenage girls. Dia...

Using single-nanotube absorption microscopy, we measured the absorption cross section of (6,5) carbon nanotubes at their second-order optical transition. We obtained a value of 3.2 × 10(-17) cm(2)/C atom with a precision of 15% and an accuracy below 20%. This constitutes the first metrological investigation of the absorption cross section of chirality-identified nanotubes. Correlative absorptio...

Session 1 of the 2010 STP/IFSTP Joint Symposium on Toxicologic Neuropathology, titled ‘‘Fundamentals of Neurobiology,’’ was organized to provide a foundation for subsequent sessions by presenting essential elements of neuroanatomy and nervous system function. A brief introduction to the session titled ‘‘Introduction to Correlative Neurobiology’’ was provided by Dr. Greg Hall (Eli Lilly and Comp...
