Pe bza optimizarii detectorului fotodioda cu avalansa din sistemul EmiScopeTM utilizat pentru rezolvarea temporala a fotonilor, am realizat reducerea cu un factor mai mare de 2.5 a timpului de achizitie a semnalului emis în infrarosu de un tranzisttorCMOS. Efectul nedorit al pulsuirlor de zgomot generate de fotodioda la durate aleatorii fata de semnalul detectat a fost redus prin utilizarea înt...

Recently, a new ISO standard for loudness of arbitrary sounds ISO 532-1 (1) was proposed for the revision of ISO 532:1975 section 2 (method B) (2). It is based on DIN 45631/A1:2010 (3), which includes the widely used standard DIN 45631:1991 (4) for stationary sounds as a special case. ISO 532-1 eliminates uncertainties of existing standards by strictly defining the complete procedure of loudnes...

An experiment was conducted to find out variation in isolated Rhizoctonia solani based on radial mycelial growth and sclerotial production. Five isolates of Rhizoctonia solani representing five clusters group were selected and were grown at different levels of temperature and pH on potato dextrose agar (PDA). It was observed that optimum temperature and pH for growth and scierotial production v...

While studies of cerebellar involvement in learning and memory have described plasticity within the cerebellum, its role in acquisition of plasticity elsewhere in the CNS is largely unexplored. This study set out to determine whether the cerebellum is needed for acquisition of the spinal cord plasticity that underlies operantly conditioned decrease in the H-reflex, the electrical analog of the ...

The new DIN ('Deutsche Industrie-Norm') 6875-1, which is currently being finalised, deals with quality assurance (QA) criteria and tests methods for linear accelerator and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy including treatment planning, stereotactic frame and stereotactic imaging and a system test to check the whole chain of uncertainties. Our existing QA program, based on dedic...

This paper describes LuaOrb, a binding between the extension language Lua and CORBA. Like other CORBA bindings, this binding allows a program to manipulate CORBA objects in the same way it manipulates local objects. Unlike conventional bindings, however, LuaOrb is based on the CORBA Dynamic Invocation Interface, mapping its dynamic character to the dynamic type system of Lua. This binding bring...

It was hypothesized that women of medium height would show a more secure, long-term mating pattern characterized by less jealousy, less intrasexual competition and a “slower” life history strategy. In three samples of female undergraduate students clear support was found for these hypotheses. In Study 1, among 120 participants, height was curvilinearly related to well-established measures of po...

This paper presents a new signature forgery strategy. The attack is a sophisticated variant of Desmedt-Odlyzko’s method [11] where the attacker obtains the signatures of m1, . . . , mτ−1 and exhibits the signature of an mτ which was never submitted to the signer; we assume that all messages are padded by a redundancy function μ before being signed. Before interacting with the signer, the attack...

Decades of acid rain have acidified forest soils and freshwaters throughout montane forests of the northeastern United States; the resulting loss of soil base cations is hypothesized to be responsible for limiting rates of forest growth throughout the region. In 1999, an experiment was conducted that reversed the long-term trend of soil base cation depletion and tested the hypothesis that calci...

Plasmid p15B of Escherichia coli 15T- carries a 3.5-kilobase segment that undergoes frequent DNA inversion mediated by the DNA inversion enzyme Min, a member of the Din family of site-specific recombinases. While the previously described Din inversion systems invert a DNA segment between two crossover sites in inverted orientation, the Min system produces more complex DNA rearrangements. These ...
