OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to determine the agreement of the positive results from a multiple skin prick test (SPT) device with the ability to determine a definable endpoint through intradermal dilutional testing (IDT) to compare semiquantitatively the degree of positivity of SPT results with quantitative results from IDT and to analyze the cost of immunotherapy based on SPT compar...

munication systems because of their high probability of intercept, and their simultaneous processing of multiple signals in real-timely. They also have many merits such as simple structure, light weight and low cost. Recently, to realize optical transmission system with lager capacity and high-speed, an optical module with high performance, low cost and small size is strongly required. In this ...

COPYRIGHT 2016 LIPHOOK EQUINE HOSPITAL Allergies in horses are commonly encountered but, given their prevalence, are poorly understood, often difficult to investigate, and frustrating to treat. Serum Allergy Testing (SAT) and Intradermal Testing (IDT) are commonly used to diagnose allergic dermatitis. There is little evidence basis for the use of SAT or IDT in the diagnosis of respiratory aller...

Genealogies of a line of mammalian epithelial cells (GPK) have been constructed from time-lapse film of monolayer cultures and measurements made of initial (post-divisional) cell size, final (pre-divisional) cell size and interdivision time (IDT). The mean initial cell volume was 2696 +/- 404 (S.D.) micron3, the mean final volume was 5247 +/- 696 micron3 and the mean IDT was 985 +/- 84 min. Cel...

Interaural differences of time (IDT) thresholds were measured with 600-microseconds transients. The initial experiment was a successful replication of previous experiments that have obtained the precedence effect in lateralization paradigms (e.g., Yost and Soderquist, 1984). When a dichotic click followed a diotic click with an interclick interval (ICI) less than 1 ms or larger than 5 ms, IDT t...

SUMMARY Acoustic field analysis results of surface acoustic wave dispersive delay lines using inclined chirp IDTs on a Y-Z LiNbO 3 sub-strate are described. The calculated results are compared with optical measurements. The angular spectrum of the plane wave method is applied to calculation of the acoustic fields considering the anisotropy of the SAW velocity by using the polynomial approximati...

This paper proposes an analysis of two types of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonators composed of interdigital transducers (IDT) of 200 nm wide on GaN/Si devoted for GHz applications. Two finite element (FEM) models for basic periodic cells are given to demonstrate de characteristics of the resonators at different resonance frequencies. E-beam lithographical techniques have been used for the I...

A series of defect-free n-type copolymers poly(naphthalene diimide- alt -indacenodithiophene) P(NDI-IDT) comprising alternating naphthalene diimide (NDI) and indacenodithiophene (IDT) units is prepared using atom-economic direct arylation polycondensation (DAP).

Abstract The resonance properties of shear-horizontal surface acoustic waves on Ca 3 TaGa Si 2 O 14 (CTGS) with Au or Al interdigital transducers (IDTs) were investigated. IDT-type resonators fabricated CTGS (0°, 134° 155°, 90°) using Au- Al-IDT, and the strong near-zero temperature coefficient frequency (TCF) measured at a certain electrode film thickness. From simulated results, an effective ...

The ready availability of data is leading to the increased opportunity of their re-use for new applications and for analyses. Most of these data are not necessarily in the format users want, are usually heterogeneous, and highly dynamic, and this necessitates data transformation efforts to re-purpose them. Interactive data transformation (IDT) tools are becoming easily available to lower these ...
