Target tracking using bistatic bearings-only measurements has obtained distinct interest recently. It is a nonlinear problem that traditional Kalman filter (KF) can not be applied directly. In this paper, the triangular ranging formula has been derived first for bistatic bearings-only tracking. The ranging error is then proved to be Gaussian noises, which enable the traditional KF applicable. T...

Swelling of mitochondria plays an important role in the pathogenesis of human diseases by stimulating mitochondria-mediated cell death through apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Changes in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) of ions and other substances induce an increase in the colloid osmotic pressure, leading to matrix swelling. Modeling of mitochondrial swelling is i...

States estimation of lithium-ion batteries is an essential element Battery Management Systems (BMS) to meet the safety and performance requirements electric hybrid vehicles. Accurate estimations battery's State Charge (SoC), Health (SoH), Power (SoP) are for safe effective operation vehicle. They need remain accurate despite changing characteristics battery as it ages. This paper proposes onlin...

In this paper we describe graph-based parallel algorithms for entity resolution that improve over the map-reduce approach. We compare two approaches to parallelize a Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) accelerated, Iterative Match-Merge (IMM) entity resolution technique: BCP, where records hashed together are compared at a single node/reducer, vs an alternative mechanism (RCP) where comparison loa...

A quantitative measure of the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale for earthquakes in ~he western United States has been developed by correlating the peak seismoscope relative displacement response, Sd, with the reported site intensity, IMM. This correlation can be approximated by

Accurate and robust tracking of humans is of growing interest in the image processing and computer vision communities. The ability of a vision system to track the subjects and accurately predict their future locations is critical to many surveillance and camera control applications. Further, an inference of the type of motion as well as to rapidly detect and switch between motion models is crit...

Converging evidence implicates the intermediate and medial mesopallium (IMM) of the domestic chick forebrain in memory for a visual imprinting stimulus. During and after imprinting training, neuronal responsiveness in the IMM to the familiar stimulus exhibits a distinct temporal profile, suggesting several memory phases. We discuss the temporal progression of learning-related biochemical change...

Oxytocin receptors (OTRs) are expressed in numerous tissues, including human normal endothelium. Here we investigated the expression and biological significance of OTRs in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), an intensely angioproliferative disease of possible vascular origin with a prominent inflammatory component. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization studies showed OTR expression in tumor cells o...

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of strenuous exercise and antioxidant administration on proand antiapoptotic protein expression in intestinal lymphocytes. METHODS: Female C57BL/6 mice (N = 52) were randomly assigned to receive N-acetyl cysteine (NAC; 1 g.kg(-1)) or saline (SAL) 30 min before treadmill exercise (EX) for 90 min and 2 degrees slope (30 min at 22 m.min(-1), 30 min at 25 m.min(-1...

The majority of mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), a phospholipid essential for aerobic growth of yeast cells, is synthesized by phosphatidylserine decarboxylase 1 (Psd1p) in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). To identify components that become essential when the level of mitochondrial PtdEtn is decreased, we screened for mutants that are synthetically lethal with a temperatu...
