Lophotrochozoan relationships and parasites. A snap-shot.

Assembling the lophotrochozoan (=spiralian) tree of life.

The advent of numerical methods for analysing phylogenetic relationships, along with the study of morphology and molecular data, has driven our understanding of animal relationships for the past three decades. Within the protostome branch of the animal tree of life, these data have sufficed to establish its two main side branches, the moulting Ecdysozoa and the non-moulting Lophotrochozoa. In t...

GaAs/AIXGal.,As QUANTUM WELL INFRARED PHOTODETECTOR SNAP-SHOT CAMERA

A 9 ~m cutoff 640x486 snap-shot quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) camera has been demonstrated. The performance of this QWIP camera is reported including indoor and outdoor imaging. Excellent imagery, with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEAT) of 36 mK has been achieved at 300 K background.

Snap-shot Imaging Polarimeter: Performance and Applications

A camera capable of obtaining single snap-shot, quantitative, polarimetric measurements is investigated to determine performance characteristics. The camera employs a micropolarizer array with linear polarizers oriented at 0, 45, 90, and, 135 degrees. Micropolarizer arrays with elements as small as 7.4 microns and arrays as large 4 million pixels have been fabricated for use across the visible ...

ارزش سه شاخص SNAP, CRIB و SNAP-PE در تعیین شدت بیماری و پیشگویی مرگ نوزادان بستری شده در NICU

Background and purpose:There is growing interest in employing screening procedures to identify critical infants at the beginning of hospitalization at NICU and adjusting death rate with severity of early disease. Most of studies were carried out on preterm infants born in the same center. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic power of SNAP-PE, SNAP, and CRIB indices in determini...
