In this work we focus on the task to localize and track multiple non-cooperative targets by a passive antenna array and an optical sensor. Both sensor systems are mounted on a UAV and obtain bearing measurements from the targets, where the number of targets is unknown. To solve the localization and tracking problem, the imprecise but unique bearing data collected from the antenna array has to b...

lentiviral vectors are among the promising viral based-vectors in gene therapy applications, but the efficiency of their targeting needs to be improved. (strept)avidin-biotin adaptor system is a novel approach to modify the lentiviral envelope for better targeting properties. herein, we describe utilization of this adaptor system by designing a candidate envelope protein-bearing biotin acceptor...

Objective- to determine the range of systolic times intervals using Pulsed-wave Doppler and m-mode echocardiography in normal, healthy Great Dane dogs. Design- Descriptive study. Animals- Thirty healthy Great Dane dogs. Procedures- This study examined 30 clinically healthy Great Dane dogs by the twodimensional, M-mode and Pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography. The dogs were awake and unsedated. ...

Turkmen horse is one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world, but there is no information on Doppler echocardiographic parameters in this horse. In the present study, pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler echocardiography was performed on 42 clinically normal 3- to 15-year-old racing Turkmen horses. No cardiac disease was detected with two-dimensional (2-D) real-time, M-mode, and colour flow mapping. D...

left atrial (la) distension has been demonstrated to be linked with aortic stiffness in different patient populations. three-dimensional (3d) speckle-tracking echocardiography (ste) seems to be a promising tool for volumetric and functional evaluation of the la. the aim of the present study was to determine whether correlations exist between 3dste-derived la volume-based and strain parameter...
