Bigraphs are graphs whose nodes may be nested, representing locality, independently of the edges connecting them. They may be equipped with reaction rules, forming a bigraphical reactive system (Brs) in which bigraphs can reconfigure themselves. Brss aim to unify process calculi, and to model applications —such as pervasive computing— where locality and mobility are prominent. The paper is devo...

background: isolating sperms with normal chromatin content is considered vital in intra cytoplasmic sperm injection treatment. today, researchers are trying to find new procedures to select sperms with normal chromatin content and morphology. this study examines the effectiveness of zeta, density gradient centrifugation (pure sperm) and combination of pure- zeta procedures in selecting sperms w...

Quaternion matrices are employed successfully in many color image processing applications. In particular, a pure quaternion matrix can be used to represent red, green, and blue channels of images. A low-rank approximation for obtained by using the singular value decomposition. However, this is not optimal sense that resulting may quaternion, i.e., contains real component which useful representa...

A small set of extensions to the PureData architecture and to its external API is proposed, which will facilitate the creation of audio feature detectors (pitch followers, beat trackers, onset detectors, etc.) as Pd patches. An experimental implementation is discussed, and two application examples are demonstrated.

Pure alexia is a reading disorder that occurs in literate individuals secondary to a lesion in the left occipito-temporal region. The hallmark of this deficit is the word-length effect: the naming latencies of patients increase dramatically with increasing numbers of letters in the word. For example, every additional letter can take a further 3 s for a patient who is reading a word aloud [compa...

1. The beginning of blood management The blood management system in Korea was initiated in 1952 with the establishment of the first blood storage facilities in the navy during the Korean War (1950-1953). The National Blood Center was opened in 1954, and the services of the Korean Red Cross (KRC) Blood Center were commenced in 1958 after blood services were transferred from the National Blood Ce...

Manufacturers are now looking closely at ways of optimizing 'quality' and increasing process efficiency while reducing manufacturing costs. Near infra-red (NIR) technology is a popular solution to this challenge: it provides manufacturers with rapid and reliable in-process analysis and thousands of systems have already been installed in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and agricultural market...
