ground penetrating radar (gpr) method as a high resolution non-destructive geophysical method is used for detection of shallow subsurface targets. this method is based on the transmission of electromagnetic waves inside the earth and recording the reflected waves from the subsurface. as the method uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the frequency ranges of 12.5 to 2500 mhz (called gpr ...

During germination of spores of Bacillus species the degradation of the spore's pool of small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) is initiated by a protease termed GPR, the product of the gpr gene. Bacillus megaterium and B. subtilis mutants with an inactivated gpr gene grew, sporulated, and triggered spore germination as did gpr+ strains. However, SASP degradation was very slow during germination of...

TECK (thymus-expressed chemokine), a recently described CC chemokine expressed in thymus and small intestine, was found to mediate chemotaxis of human G protein-coupled receptor GPR-9-6/L1.2 transfectants. This activity was blocked by anti-GPR-9-6 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3C3. GPR-9-6 is expressed on a subset of memory alpha4beta7(high) intestinal trafficking CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. In additi...

Cell divisions are sometimes oriented by extrinsic signals, by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Proteins containing TPR and GoLoco-domains (C. elegans GPR-1/2, Drosophila Pins, vertebrate LGN and AGS3) are candidates for mediating mitotic spindle orientation by extrinsic signals, but the mechanisms by which TPR-GoLoco proteins may localize in response to extrinsic cues are not well define...

Cytokinesis and spindle positioning require the cortical force regulator G Protein Regulator 1/2 (GPR-1/2). GPR-1/2 is thought to localize to sites of cortical force generation. Does GPR-1/2 also act as a sensor for mechanical stimulation? I mechanically stimulated the cortex by indenting it with a glass needle and observed the cortical localization of a YFP::GPR-1 transgene. I found that corti...

The shape and feature extraction in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data is the most addressed application in present underground object identification technique. The problem of automatically detecting the shape and feature in GPR data is in analysing and fitting the hyperbola features from GPR data objects. To address these, we propose a hyperbole fitting method to extract the shape and feature...

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has emerged as an effective tool for estimating active layer thickness (ALT) and volumetric water content (VWC) within the active layer. In August 2013, we conducted a series of GPR and probing surveys using a 500 MHz antenna and metallic probe around Barrow, Alaska. We collected about 15 km of GPR data and 1.5 km of probing data. Here, we describe the GPR data pr...

In this paper we consider the development of algorithms for the automatic detection of buried threats using ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements. GPR is one of the most studied and successful modalities for automatic buried threat detection (BTD), and a large variety of BTD algorithms have been proposed for it. Despite this, large-scale comparisons of GPR-based BTD algorithms are rare in...
