EUMETSAT is currently developing the on-ground processing chain of infrared sounders (IRS) on-board Meteosat third-generation sounding satellites (MTG-S). In this context, authors investigated impact a particular type radiometric error, called hereafter calibration ringing. It arises in Fourier transform spectrometers when instrument’s transfer function (RTF) varies within domain spectral respo...

We discuss several aspects of a generalization the Chern-Simons action containing pseudodifferential operator $\sqrt{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\square}}$, which we shall call pseudo-Chern-Simons (PCS). First, derive PCS from bosonization free massive Dirac particles in $(2+1)\mathrm{D}$ limit when ${m}^{2}\ensuremath{\ll}{p}^{2}$, where $m$ is fermion mass and $p$ its momentum. In this regime, ...

We expressed the Arabidopsis thaliana gene for phytochelatin synthase (PCS(At)) in Mesorhizobium huakuii subsp. rengei B3, a microsymbiont of Astragalus sinicus, a legume used as manure. The PCS(At) gene was expressed under the control of the nifH promoter, which regulates the nodule-specific expression of the nifH gene. The expression of the PCS(At) gene was demonstrated in free-living cells u...

OBJECTIVES Periapical lesions, including periapical cyst (PC), periapical granuloma (PG), and periapical abscess (PA), are frequently affected by chemical/physical damage during root canal treatment or severe bacterial infection, and thus, the differential diagnosis of periapical lesions may be difficult due to the presence of severe inflammatory reaction. The aim of this study was to make diff...

the aim of this paper is to investigate the role of producer cooperatives (pcs) on rural development in fars, khorasan, semnan, golestan and hamadan provinces of iran in 2007. more specifically, this paper focuses on the economic aspects and social changes occurred in rural area concerning the cooperatives development. in order to measure quantitatively the effectiveness of economic and social ...

Abstract Alternating layers of different materials with sub wavelength thickness in one dimension are used for controlling the propagation electromagnetic waves owing to their ability selectively transfer and confine photons specific wavelengths, called photonic band gap (PBG). Temperature independent large PBG visible range is highly desired many applications we have theoretically investigated...

BACKGROUND Circulating progenitor cells (PCs) are considered to contribute to the remodeling of atherosclerotic plaques. Their surface receptor CXCR4 plays an important role in the recruitment of PCs to their target. This study compares the mobilization of PCs and their functional characteristics in asymptomatic subjects with stable and with unstable carotid plaques. This could provide insight ...
