Conference Background LDEC2007 is the fifth in a series of professional meetings conducted by those interested and practising in the fields of diabetes and endocrinology. Indeed the first three conferences ranged in duration from half a day to one day. They involved an increasing number of faculty and attracted more delegates. However, the fourth and fifth meetings expanded significantly, spann...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to model an annular photocatalytic reactor by solving the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) using Discrete Ordinates Model (DOM) and Six-Flux (SFM) with isotropic scattering. The RTE boundary condition (BC) at light entrance wall SFM either irradiance or fluence rate, calculated LSSE, LSDE ESDE emission models. Total Rate of Photon Absorption (TRPA) r...

Continuous time models with sampled data possess several advantages over conventional time series and panel models (special issue 62:1, 2008, of Statistica Neerlandica). For example, data with unequal time intervals can be treated efficiently, since the dynamic model parameters of the system model are not affected by the measurement process. In the linear case, the nonlinear parameter restricti...

The endophytic diazotroph Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus secretes a constitutively expressed levansucrase (LsdA, EC 2.4.1.10) to utilize plant sucrose. LsdA, unlike other extracellular levansucrases from gram-negative bacteria, is transported to the periplasm by a signal-peptide-dependent pathway. We identified an unusually organized gene cluster encoding at least the components LsdG, -O, -E,...

This paper presents two modifications to the eigenphases method to increase its accuracy. In the first modification, called Local Spatial Domain Eigenphases (LSDE), the face image is first segmented into blocks of N × N pixels, whose magnitudes are normalized. These blocks are then concatenated before the phase spectrum estimation, and finally Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for dime...
