Two extremely red main-belt asteroids: 203 Pompeja and 269 Justitia, were identified from combined visible near-infrared spectroscopic observations collected at the IRTF SAO observatories. These two asteroids have a redder spectral slope than any other D-type body, which are reddest objects in asteroid belt, similar to RR IR-class found outer Solar System among trans-Neptunian Centaurs. Spectro...

In this paper, a subspace identification solution is provided for Active Noise Control (ANC) problems. The solution is related to so-called block updating methods, where instead of updating the (feedforward) controller on a sample by sample base, it is updated each time based on a block of N samples. The use of the subspace identification based ANC methods enables non-iterative derivation and u...

Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is an unusual presentation of esotropia that occurs after infancy. This study was aimed to study the clinical features and the differences between children and adult patients with AACE in the Chinese populations.This was a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with AACE over 4 years; 69 patients (25 females and 44 males) were identified.

The TNO Gastro-Intestinal Model (TIM) is a multi-compartmental model, designed to realistically simulate conditions in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. TIM is successfully used to study the gastro-intestinal behavior of a wide variety of feed, food and pharmaceutical products. Experiments in TIM are based on a computer simulation of the digestive conditions in the lumen of the gut durin...

This paper describes the official runs of TNO TPD for CLEF-2001. We participated in the monolingual, bilingual and multilingual tasks. The main contribution of this paper is a systematic comparison of three types of translation resources for bilingual retrieval based on query translation. We compared several techniques based on machine readable dictionaries, statistical dictionaries generated f...

purpose: to determine stereopsis with local (titmus) and global (tno) tests in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects according to induced disparity (crossed or uncrossed). methods: in this cross sectional study, 80 students of zahedan university of medical sciences who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly selected. at first, refractive error was determined by retinoscopy and then base...

O fígado é um dos órgãos mais afetados no trauma abdominal fechado ou penetrante. Atualmente, observa-se uma valorização do tratamento não operatório nesses casos, principalmente devido ao desenvolvimento das técnicas de diagnóstico. Contudo, alguns casos ainda necessitam da abordagem cirúrgica. hepático corresponde a aproximadamente 5% admissões salas urgência, acometendo homens e jovens. Na i...
