ASIMUT, the BIRA-IASB radiative transfer code, was modified in order to take into account the changes in the atmospheric composition and structure across the martian day/night terminator. Here, we will discuss the impact of this implementation on the retrievals of ozone profiles derived from SPICAM solar occultations in the ultraviolet.

Over the past decade governments all over the world have been moving to providing services to their citizens via the web with varying degrees of success. These e-government initiatives have been the subject of extensive research. Our research is concerned with the transitioning from electronic government to mobile government. Mobile government implementation is still in its very early stages – ...

Integration of relevant categorized documents into existent categories of an organization or individual is an important issue in the e-commerce era. Existing categorization-based approach for document-category integration (specifically, ENB) incurs several limitations, including homogeneous assumption on categorization schemes used by master and source catalogs and requirement for a large-sized...

During the last decade, it has become widely accepted that global warming is not simply a natural cycle but that it is being exacerbated by human activity and that the impact of emissions from man-made technologies is substantial and critical. Reduction in the release of greenhouse gasses is therefore very urgent. Rather than direct regulatory action, governments around the world have been conv...

In this paper, we made the plan of a load testing, and got results by means of the LoadRunner which is an automatic load testing tool. We combined with the characteristics of electronic commerce system and did the load testing and analysis the result of load test by means of the LoadRunner. We fully described the characteristics of the electronic commerce application, designed the reasonable te...

The E test (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden), a new approach developed to test antimicrobial susceptibility, was compared with the agar dilution method for seven-drug antibiogram analysis of Neisseria meningitidis isolates. The overall E-test quantitative accuracy (+/- 1 log2 dilution) was 93% compared with that of agar dilution testing. The E test was then used to perform the susceptibility tests on...

Frank J. Michalski, Ph.D. Diagnostic Virology Laboratory MetPath One Malcolm Avenue Teterboro, New Jersey 07608 Author's Reply We appreciate Dr. Michalski's comments on our study describing the use of quantitative EIA reactivity in predicting HIV seropositivity by Western blot. We agree that the relationship between HIV antibody titer and absorbance is not directly linear, as demonstrated by Ge...

The Future E-O (FEO) program was established to develop a flexible, modular, automated test capability as part of the Next Generation Automatic Test System (NGATS) program to support the test and diagnostic needs of currently fielded U.S. Army electro-optical (E-O) devices, as well as being expandable to address the requirements of future Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force E-O systems. Santa Barb...
