The GV-HSRL is a high spectral resolution lidar capable of measuring calibrated backscatter, extinction and circular depolarization from the ground or NSF Gulfstream V platform. In the spring of 2012, the instrument was modified to measure the full backscatter matrix of atmospheric scatterers. This modification enabled us to investigate the polarization properties of oriented particles and furt...

Resolve onboard the x-ray satellite X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is a cryogenic instrument with an microcalorimeter in Dewar. A lid partially transparent to x-rays (called gate valve or GV) installed at top of Dewar along optical axis. Because observations will be made through GV for first few months, transmission calibration crucial initial scientific outcomes. We present res...

Defined over sets of truth values V which are closed subsets of [0, 1] containing both 0 and 1, Gödel logics GV are prominent examples of many-valued logics. We investigate a first-order fragment of GV extended with ∆ that is powerful enough to formalize important properties of fuzzy rule-based systems. The satisfiability problem in this fragment is shown to be NP-complete for all GV , also in ...

The existing experimental evidence on the vector and axial-vector coupling constants, GV and GA, for neutron β-decay exhibits two prominent problems: (i) the unitarity for the first row of the CKM matrix seems violated; (ii) one obtains different values of GA/GV according to whether one uses as input the neutron lifetime or neutron-decay correlation observables. We show that the in-medium modif...

It was shown by Massey that linear complementary dual (LCD for short) codes are asymptotically good. In 2004, Sendrier proved that LCD codes meet the asymptotic Gilbert-Varshamov (GV for short) bound. Until now, the GV bound still remains to be the best asymptotical lower bound for LCD codes. In this paper, we show that an algebraic geometry code over a finite field of even characteristic is eq...

The goal of voice conversion is to transform a sentence said by one speaker, to sound as if another speaker had said it. The classical conversion based on a Gaussian Mixture Model and several other schemes suggested since, produce muffled sounding outputs, due to excessive smoothing of the spectral envelopes. To reduce the muffling effect, enhancement of the Global Variance (GV) of the spectral...

First measurements of the breakdown threshold in a dielectric subjected to GV/m wakefields produced by short (30-330 fs), 28.5 GeV electron bunches have been made. Fused silica tubes of 100 microm inner diameter were exposed to a range of bunch lengths, allowing surface dielectric fields up to 27 GV/m to be generated. The onset of breakdown, detected through light emission from the tube ends, i...

Field tests were conducted in 1983 at Hanford, CA, to further investigate the use of the codling moth granulosis virus (GV) as a control agent. Timing of application and number of applications were investigated. Sprays were commenced at 0.1 and 10% predicted hatch for the GV as well as Zolone. In the small plots, first brood damage was assessed by counting the number of fallen codling moth infe...

Previous studies have indicated that Guaroa virus (GV), an arbovirus, enhanced the replication of Friend leukemia virus (FLV) in mice. To study further the interaction of GV and FLV, different levels of FLV activity were inoculated into mice. At a level of activity capable of producing limited splenic response, coinfection with GV resulted in a marked increase in spleen-foci activity, mean sple...

Seventy-seven prepubertal short children with heights below the third centile for age and gender were divided into three groups according to their peak GH response to clonidine and insulin provocation. Group (I) included 30 children with peak GH response < 7 micrograms/l, group (II) included 19 children, with GH peak response between 7 and 10 micrograms/l, and group (III) included 24 children w...
