Beagle2 is the UK-led lander element on ESA’s Mars Express mission, which will reach Mars in late December 2003. After separation from the Mars Express orbiter 6 days before the atmospheric entry, Beagle2 will descend to the Martian surface by means of ablative heat shields and parachutes. The impact will be cushioned by a set of airbags. The selected landing site at 11.6 deg N / 90.75 deg E (I...

The perfect reconstruction conditions for a timevarying lapped transform (paraunitary filter bank) are developed through the factorization of the transform matrix into sparse factors. A general formulation is presented allowing one to switch between two paraunitary filter banks. However, the extended lapped transform (ELT) is often used as an example. Furthermore, an adaptive wavelet packet is ...

BACKGROUND Horses commonly suffer from chronic respiratory disease and are also used in large animal models of spontaneous or induced airway inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin are largely described but its low bioavailability precludes its clinical use. NDS27, a lysin salt of curcumin incorporated in beta-cyclodextrine, has high bioavailability and can be administered by...

This paper proposes a novel infrared camera array guidance system with capability to track and provide real time position and speed of a fixed-wing Unmanned air vehicle (UAV) during a landing process. The system mainly include three novel parts: (1) Infrared camera array and near infrared laser lamp based cooperative long range optical imaging module; (2) Large scale outdoor camera array calibr...

Abstract The article presents and discusses a study that focuses upon discursive representations of sustainability in English Language Teaching (ELT) are found on the official web-site University Oxford United Kingdom. involved corpus texts related to ELT were collected website Oxford. was analyzed qualitatively identify classify types ELT. After that, it investigated quantitatively calculate m...

Ageing and age-related neurodegenerative disorders, which are associated with free radical generation, may cause impairment of learning and memory in animals and human beings. Rutin, a bioflavonoid, is a potent free radical scavenger. Present study was designed to investigate the effect of rutin (30mg and 40mg/Kg i.p.) in 6, 9 and 12 months old mice and on sodium nitrite (75mg/kg i.p.) induced ...
