Rmsl i s one of the series of five ramosus loci in pea (Pisum sativum 1.) in which recessive mutant alleles confer increased branching at basal and aerial vegetative nodes. Shoots of the nonallelic rms l and rms2 mutants are phenotypically similar in most respects. However, we found an up to 40-fold difference in root-sap zeatin riboside ([9R]Z) concentration between rms l and rms2 plants. Comp...

PURPOSE To report on integrated endourology suites (IES), remote monitoring and supervision (RMS) of urology residents and to evaluate patients' opinions, acceptance, and satisfaction level with IES and RMS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing flexible cystoscopy in the IES with RMS were surveyed using a questionnaire. All procedures were performed by junior urology residents (UR-1 level...

Radial mesoporous silica (RMS) sphere was tailor-made for further applications in producing shape-stabilized composite phase change materials (ss-CPCMs) through a facile self-assembly process using CTAB as the main template and TEOS as SiO2 precursor. Novel ss-CPCMs composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and RMS were prepared through vacuum impregnating method. Various techniques were employed t...

ODAY, high resolution analog to digital converters (ADC) are often used for precision measurements of voltage and current. The measurement uncertainty of the RMS value of the analog sinusoidal signal depends on the quality of the ADC and on the algorithms used for RMS estimation. This paper will focus only on the algorithms for RMS estimation of the sinusoidal signal. The comparison of classica...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent pediatric soft-tissue tumor accounting for about 7% of childhood malignancies. Multimodal therapy is the standard treatment for individuals with RMS but generally fails to cure high-risk group patients and can result in long-term side effects. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms driving RMS might help to find new candidate targets for more specifi...

We report results from a new methodology for investigating the visually perceived properties of surface textures. Densely sampled two-dimensional 1/f(beta) noise processes are used to model natural looking surfaces, which are rendered using combined point-source and ambient lighting. Surfaces are shown in motion to provide rich cues to their relief. They are generated in real time to enable obs...

Real-time single- and multiple-axis vibrotactile feedback of trunk motion has been shown to significantly decrease mean trunk tilt and decrease time spent outside a no vibrotactile feedback zone (dead zone) in older adults within a laboratory setting. This study aimed to determine if these improvements can translate into everyday use, during which other tasks may simultaneously demand attention...

Open-loop adaptive optics is a technique in which the turbulent wavefront is measured before it hits the deformable mirror for correction. We present a technique to model a deformable mirror working in open-loop based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), a non-parametric regression technique. The model's input is the wavefront correction to apply to the mirror and its output is t...
