A high-resolution multibeam survey of the northwest Florida shelf mapped six relict shelf-edge deltas, each with a drowned barrier–island system developed on its south and southwestern rims. The deltas appear to have formed during periods of sealevel stasis that occurred between 58,000 and 28,000 years ago. The barrier islands formed on the deltas during periods of slow regression during this s...

Bilirubin is sensitive to light and oxygen. The rate of photodegradation of unconjugated bilirubin (Bu) was nearly twice that of monoconjugated bilirubin (mBc) and three fold that of diconjugated bilirubin (dBc); delta bilirubin (Bd) was the most stable against photoirradiation. In the presence of serum albumin, conjugated bilirubin (Bc: i.e., mBc and dBc) showed the highest rate of oxidation b...

In this paper a framework for the analysis of a family of high order interpolative sigma-delta modulators is introduced. It is shown that a large number of high order architectures can be reduced to a diagonal form which facilitates the stability analysis of the system. In addition, the diagonal form is a canonical form which illustrates the equivalence of a variety of sigma-delta architectures...

The group is responsible for selection, mutation, synthesis and testing of various lepidopteran specific delta-endotoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis. These are tested for their efficacy towards gram podborer and synergetic interactions among various toxins. Site-directed mutagenesis of genes specific to gram podborer is performed to enhance the efficacy of the deltaendotoxins. The gene encoding ...

Sigma-delta modulation, where a single-bit quantiser is embedded within a negative feedback loop (Fig. 1), is now a commonly-used technique for implementing high-resolution analogue-to-digital and digital-toanalogue converters (DACs), principally because of a favourable insensitivity to component tolerancing [1]. Single-bit quantisation generates relatively high levels of quantisation noise, he...
