The accuracy of transrectal real-time ultrasonography (RTU) scanning technique to detect ovarian structures (follicles and corpus luteum) of Serrana goats was compared to the data obtained by observation of ovarian sequential slices. This slicing technique (SLI) was considered as reference method. The laparoscopy and laparotomy techniques were also used for corpora lutea identification. For thi...

Real-time upcalls (rtus) are an operating systems mechanism to provide quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees to network applications, and to e ciently implement protocols in user space with (QoS) guarantees. Traditionally, threads (and real-time extensions to threads) have been used to structure concurrent activities in user space protocol implementations. However, preemptive scheduling required ...

The present work addresses the study of techniques of digital image processing based on fuzzy logic for subcutaneous fat (SF) estimation in real time ultrasound (RTU) images. The process for SF automatic estimation in RTU images is divided into two steps: the identification of the image area corresponding to the SF regions and, from these regions, the SF estimation. In order to deal with the am...

Processors in microcontrollers are optimized for speed executing tasks in order to minimize completion time. Often burdened with interrupts, nondeterministic execution, auxiliary tasks, and non real-time operating systems, processors are unable to make any timing guarantees on most operations. In a traditional setup, interfacing with external components is done via protocol-specific hardware pe...

Sistem SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) merupakan teknologi komputer yang banyak digunakan pada sistem kendali di dunia industri saat ini. Pada penelitian ini plant motor penggerak konveyor karena tersebut sangat industri, hampir semua jenis menggunakan untuk memindahkan barang dari satu tempat ketempat lainnya. Implementasi kontrol adalah metode PID (Proportional Integral Deriv...

Real-time ultrasonography (RTU) was used to measure the longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) volume in vivo and to predict the carcass composition of rabbits. For this, 63 New Zealand White × Californian rabbits with 2093±63 g live weight were used. Animals were scanned between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebrae using an RTU equipment with a 7.5 MHz probe. Measurements of LM volume were obtianed both in...

BACKGROUND AlloDerm, a brand of acellular dermal matrix, is commonly used as an internal hammock to support the tissue expander or permanent implant in breast reconstruction. The aim of our study is to evaluate the complication rates associated with the freeze-dried (FD) AlloDerm and the ready-to-use (RTU) AlloDerm. METHODS This institutional review board-approved retrospective study involved...

The survival and growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (ATCC 43888 and NCTC 12900) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19114 and NCTC 11994) during storage (4 and 88C) on ready-to-use (RTU) packaged vegetables ( lettuce, swedes (rutabaga) , dry coleslaw mix, soybean sprouts) were studied. The vegetables were sealed within oriented polypropylene packaging film, and modified atmospheres developed in pa...
