NARL has active array radar which has been designed, developed and tested at 1280 MHz. This system comprises of planar microstrip patch antenna array fed by solid-state transreceiver (TR) modules, two-dimensional (2D) passive beam forming network (BFN) and direct IF digital receiver (DRx). Errors are the common factors that affect the data. The common errors are Random errors and Systemic error...

Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics and Statistics of McMaster University, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, (ON) L8S-4K1, Canada Abstract The Simpson’s Paradox is the phenomenon that appears in some datasets, where subgroups with a common trend (say, all negative trend) show the reverse trend when they are aggregated (say, positive trend). Even if this issue has ...

A large radius secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) has been used for in situ stable isotope analyses of geological samples at the scale of 1–10 mm. However, the original reflected light microscope of the CAMECA IMS 1280 SIMS had an optical resolution of 3.5 mm, which made it difficult to accurately position the analytical beam on the sample at the mm scale. We modified the optical microscope...

Although statins are generally well-tolerated drugs, recent cases of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) associated with their use have been reported. A 59-year-old Japanese man reported with liver damage, which appeared one month after beginning treatment with fluvastatin and continued after discontinuation of the drug. Although drug-induced liver injury was possible, positive autoantibody tests (antin...

Distributed Server Programming using .Net and ArcObjects Track: Application Development Author(s): Brian Flood This paper explores the use of both .Net and ArcObjects in the Programmable Mapping Cluster (PMC), a software framework to ease ArcObjects development over large groups of servers. The PMC makes extensive use of the .Net Remoting architecture to connect all servers in a cluster into a ...

For the purpose of accelerating deblocking filter, which accounts for a significant percentage of H.264/AVC decoding time, some studies use wavefront method to achieve the required performance on multi-core platforms. We study the problem under the context of many-core systems and present a new method to exploit the implicit parallelism. We apply our implementation to the deblocking filter of t...

The number of ionotropic receptors in synapses is an essential factor for determining the efficacy of fast transmission. We estimated the number of functional AMPA receptors at single postsynaptic sites by a combination of two-photon uncaging of glutamate and the nonstationary fluctuation analysis in immature rat Purkinje cells (PCs), which receive a single type of excitatory input from climbin...

Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Alaska are semidomestic livestock descended from 1280 animals introduced from Siberia, Russia, approximately 100 years ago. Genetic variation at 18 microsatellite DNA loci and the cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was quantified in reindeer from Alaska, Siberia (Russia), and Scandinavia and compared with wild North American caribou. Mean seq...

The age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of blindness among people over 50 years in developed countries and there are 150 million people affected worlwide. This disease can lead to severe loss central vision and adversely affect the patient’s quality of life. The appearance of drusen is associated with the early AMD, so we proposed a top-down methodology to detect drusen in ...
