We present 5 GHz space-VLBI observations of the quasar pair B 1342+662 / B 1342+663 that demonstrate the feasibility of phase-reference techniques using an antenna in space. The space-based data were taken by the satellite HALCA, of the space-VLBI mission VSOP. From residual (referenced) phases we derive an upper bound of 10 meters to the uncertainty of the spacecraft orbit reconstruction. An a...

A compact Q-switched laser with a separate Nd:YAP gain part and V:YAG saturable absorber was designed constructed. The use of crystal may have certain advantages, such as polarization wavelength stability, over the more common Nd:YAG active medium. Constructed Nd:YAP/V:YAG provides linearly polarized radiation at 1342 nm. Stable pulses 12 ns long energy up to almost 0.2 mJ were generated. This ...

Cross-reactions between mammalian transplantation antigens and certain bacterial structures have been postulated on the basis of various observations. In a series of convincing experiments, Rapaport and Chase (1-3) have clearly demonstrated that skin graft sensitization may be achieved with streptococcal membrane antigens in a variety of different species, such as guinea pigs, mice, rats, or ra...

Group signatures were introduced by Chaum and Van Heyst [12], and many security requirements for group signatures have been proposed. Bellare, Micciancio, and Warinschi [4] showed that satisfying full-anonymity and full-traceability is sufficient, in the sence that all the above-mentioned requirements are implied by them. Wilson and Menezes [5] introduced a considerable attack against standard ...

Three batches of yogurts were made with soy protein isolate (SPI) supplemented with 2% (S2), 4% (S4) or 6% (S6) of skim milk powder (SMP). The fourth batch (control; S0) was prepared from SPI without SMP supplementation. Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842 (Lb 11842) and Streptococcus thermophilus ST 1342 (ST 1342) were used as the starter culture. Biotransformation of the inac...
