Although controversial, late phase responses in asthmatic subjects have been reported several hours after exercise. We previously showed that exposure to dry air increases collateral system resistance (Rcs) in the canine lung periphery, and produces acute airway responses analogous to those that characterize human exercise-induced asthma. We used a dual wedged bronchoscope technique in anaesthe...

The retrosternal clear space (RCS) is a lucent area on the lateral chest radiograph located directly behind the sternum. The two types of pathology classically addressed in the RCS are anterior mediastinal masses and emphysema. Diseases of the pulmonary interstitium are a third type of pathology that can be seen in the RCS. Retrosternal reticular opacities, known as Kerley D lines, were initial...

The far-field Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement of the actual target requires a long measurement range, which can be realized in the outdoor site. One of the problems in outdoor measurement is the difficulty to avoid the effect of ground bounce. Some sites overcome the difficulty by the exploitation of the ground bounce in RCS measurement [1][2]. Meanwhile the RCS measurement of the large a...

In order to meet the approximate plane-wave irradiation condition, adequate large field or compact range system is needed for RCS measurement of large aircraft targets. However, an outside testing field site or a compact range system is very expensive, so some kinds of RCS extrapolation methods based on near-distance testing have been presented. In this overview, two categories of extrapolating...

Acetaminophen (ACE), a highly consumed pharmaceutical, was degraded in aqueous matrices by reactive chlorine species (RCS) electrogenerated using Ti/IrO2 electrodes. Although this pollutant has been extensively treated electrochemical techniques, little information is known about its degradation fresh urine RCS, and the understanding of transformations analyses atomic charge. In work, these two...

We investigate gold, TiN, and platinum in combination with a chitosan-catechol-based redox-cycling system (RCS) for electrochemical detection of the antipsychotic clozapine. We have previously demonstrated the RCS for detection of clozapine in serum, but challenges remain regarding low signal-to-noise ratios. This can be mitigated by selection of electrode materials with beneficial surface morp...

Scientific knowledge of the brain and technology of intelligent systems has developed to a point where a computational theory of mind is feasible. This paper briefly describes the RCS (Real-time Control System) reference model architecture that has been used successfully over the past 30 years for designing intelligent systems for a wide variety of applications. It then suggests how RCS can be ...
