After the successful experimental demonstration of the prior published concept on laser-based monitoring of space debris in early 2012, we will present further technological and conceptual advancements of this position sensing scheme. The laser based measurement of LEO space debris positions in general offers the potential of a very high accuracy on the order of 10 meters in 3D, which in turn i...

Abstract The paper describes anyway in the Irish component of International Corpus English (ICE-IRL) and similarities differences its use compared with other varieties represented ICE-Corpus. findings showed that was most frequent ICE-IRL closely followed by Canadian It least Santa Barbara Spoken American English. present analysis has demonstrated a distinctive pragmatic profile which is based ...

language users benefit from special phonetic tools in order to communicate linguistic information as well as different emotional aspects and paralinguistic information through daily conversation. having functions in conveying semantic information to listeners, prosodic features form the essential part of linguistic behavour, manipulating  them potentially can play an important role in transmitt...

One relevant application of SAR remote sensing is the generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs) of the Earth's surface, thanks to the SAR independence from logistic constraints on the ground, illumination and weather conditions. Starting from SAR imagery two different approaches can be used to generate DSMs: the well known interferometric and the promising radargrammetric one. The goal of thi...

The Precision Quantum-in-dium (Q.I.D.) Glucometer was used to determine the glucose concentrations of 38 human blood samples. The same samples were also run on the OPERA Chemistry Autoanalyzer 2010 system. More than 44% of the glucometer reports had a difference of greater than 15% from the respective autoanalyzer reports. The calibration of the glucometer could be the source of the error and a...

Ultrasonic flow meters are gaining wide usage in commercial, industrial and medical applications. Major benefits of utilizing this type of flowmeter are higher accuracy, low maintenance (no moving parts), noninvasive flow measurement, and the ability to regularly diagnose health of the meter. This application note is intended as an introduction to ultrasonic time-of-flight (TOF) flow sensing us...
