In this paper we present an approach to building a monitoring environment which underlies performance visualization for distributed applications. Our focus is to make the J-OCM monitoring system and the TAU-Paravis performance visualization system to collaborate. J-OCM, based on the J-OMIS interface, provides services for on-line monitoring of distributed Java applications. The system uses J-OC...

We evaluate the feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) for imaging of benign and malignant thyroid lesions ex vivo using intrinsic optical contrast. Thirty four thyroid gland specimens were imaged from 17 patients, covering a spectrum of pathology, ranging from normal thyroid to neoplasia and benign disease. The integrated OCT and OCM imaging sy...

Folate is in the core of one-carbon metabolism (OCM), serving as raw material for this biosynthetic pathway essential in DNA synthesis, repair and diverse methylation reactions. Dietary folate is the only source for mammalian OCM requirements and variations in its levels affect intermediary molecules such as the amino acid homocysteine, which is known to have toxic effects at high concentration...

The German Mikrozensus is a data set that is frequently used to study fertility behavior. With its large sample size, the dataset also offers the opportunity to investigate childbearing among population subgroups, such as particular migrant groups. Because birth histories are not surveyed in the Mikrozensus, scholars have frequently employed the Own-Children Method (OCM) to generate fertility s...

UNLABELLED Oncomodulin (Ocm), a member of the parvalbumin family of calcium binding proteins, is expressed predominantly by cochlear outer hair cells in subcellular regions associated with either mechanoelectric transduction or electromotility. Targeted deletion of Ocm caused progressive cochlear dysfunction. Although sound-evoked responses are normal at 1 month, by 4 months, mutants show only ...

An optical coherence microscope (OCM) has been designed and constructed to acquire 3-dimensional images of highly scattering biological tissue. Volume-rendering software is used to enhance 3-D visualization of the data sets. Lateral resolution of the OCM is 5 mm (FWHM), and the depth resolution is 10 mm (FWHM) in tissue. The design trade-offs for a 3-D OCM are discussed, and the fundamental pho...

This paper m d y s e s the state-of-the-prcictice of sojtware cotnporients produced in strategic partnerships. We call this kind of business original software coniponent manufacturing (OCM), referring to the concept of origirial equipment niani$zctiiring (OEM) that is well known in other industries. The analysis is mostly based on irlforniatioti acquired from Internet in Fall 2000, dealing with...

A pseudo-homogeneous model, considering the axial and radial heat mass transfer characteristics of an oxidative coupling methane (OCM) packed-bed catalytic reactor, was utilized to represent its thermal reaction performance in a wide range variation operating conditions investigated this research. This is another step towards distinguishing direct contribution reactions indirect reactor's struc...

Ethylene production via oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in adiabatic packed-bed reactors is a promising route within the context natural gas valorization. However, high exothermicity OCM imposes low inlet temperatures and, hence, space-time yields. Layered-bed are proposed present work as potential alternative to mitigate this issue. In modeling investigation, first layer active Sr/La2O3 ca...
