The Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL) is a threewavelength, polarization-sensitive elastic backscatter lidar that flies aboard NASA’s high-altitude ER2 research aircraft. This work presents spatial and optical analyses of the combined cirrus cloud measurements acquired by CPL during eight separate field campaigns occurring from 2002 to 2007. Particular attention is given to the retrieval and characteri...

This paper presents low-power characteristics of adiabatic complementary pass-transistor logic (ACPL) using four-phase AC power supply. Adiabatic CPL circuits consist of pure NMOS transistors, use CPL blocks for evaluation and bootstrapped NMOS switches to eliminate non-adiabatic loss of output loads. In this paper, combinational circuit (4-bit ripple carry adder) and sequential circuit (4-bit ...

Although the importance of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials has been widely recognized, the CPL responses of supramolecular gels are still rarely studied. Moreover, developing CPL materials based on supramolecular gels is of great significance, due to their special advantages and important applications. Herein, we report the first circularly polarized supramolecular gels self-a...

BACKGROUND Renal replacement therapies can be life-saving for dogs with severe acute kidney injury (AKI), however, comorbidities including pancreatitis might affect outcome. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of pancreas-specific lipase (Spec cPL) measurements consistent with pancreatitis (≥400 μg/L) in dogs undergoing intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) for treatment of AKI and ...

Abstruct Behavior of basic and complex logic gates using complementary pass-transistor logic (CPL) under various single-stuck faults are investigated. The result shows that all stuck-on faults in the basic CPL gates can be detected by current monitoring, but no logic monitoring is possible. Similarly all bridging faults between gate and source of basic CPL gates can be detected only by current ...

Introduction: The drug-plasma protein interaction is a fundamental issue in guessing and checking the serious drug side effects related with other drugs. The purpose of this research was to study the interaction of cephalexin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and displacement reaction using site probes. Methods: The interaction mechanism concerning cephalexin (CPL) with BSA was investigated using...

A circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectrometer has been built and used to study the binding interaction of lactate and four different proteins with racemic EuIII and TbIII complexes in aqueous solution. Lactate binding gives rise to strong induced CPL spectra, and the observed emission dissymmetry factors vary linearly with enantiomeric composition. Particularly strong induced TbIII CPL...

BACKGROUND Cathepsin-like enzymes have been identified as potential targets for drug or vaccine development in many parasites, as their functions appear to be essential in a variety of important biological processes within the host, such as molting, cuticle remodeling, embryogenesis, feeding and immune evasion. Functional analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans cathepsin L (Ce-cpl-1) and cathepsin Z...

An approach for detecting feature interactions in IETF’s Call Processing Language (CPL) scripts is presented. The approach is logic based in the sense that it uses a logic representation of CPL scripts, of requirements and of detection rules and, in several cases, specific detection rules are shown to be derived from requirements by logical deduction. The Simple Formal Specification Language (S...

Mixtures of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and ε−caprolactam (CPL) have been investigated as models for possible cross-interactions between vinylidene fluoride and amide structural units, that might account for the very fine phase morphology previously observed in PVDF/polyamide 6 blends. Over the entire composition range, the PVDF/CPL mixtures are monophase above the PVDF melting temperature...
