The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...

A rapid enzymatic two-step test for the presumptive differentiation of four Candida species commonly occurring in various clinical samples is described. The technique involves membrane filtration of a liquid sample, followed by preincubation of the membrane filter on Sabouraud glucose agar supplemented with ticarcillin-clavulanic acid to yield microcolonies. In a separate assay step, parts of t...

Enrichment procedure for use with the membrane filter for isolation and enumeration of fecal streptococci in water. Appl. Microbiol. 13:106-108. 1965.-By the use of PYC enrichment medium, the recovery of fecal streptococci from river water has been increased more than twofold over that of M-Enterococcus Aga...
