Methods: A cohort of 48 patients with MFC was compared with previously characterized cohorts of patients with advanced AMD (368 samples) and matched unaffected controls (368 samples). Allele and genotype frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms for the following AMD-associated alleles were evaluated: risk alleles in complement factor H (CFH) gene (Y402H and IVS14) and LOC387715/HTRA1 gene...

The main aim of this paper is to study the dynamic transitions in flows described by the two-dimensional, barotropic vorticity equation in a periodic zonal channel. In [Z.-M. Chen et al., SIAM J. Appl. Math., 64 (2003), pp. 343–368], the existence of a Hopf bifurcation in this model as the Reynolds number crosses a critical value was proven. In this paper, we extend the results in [Z.-M. Chen e...

We refine a result concerning singular matrix pencils and the Wong sequences. In our recent paper [T. Berger and S. Trenn, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 33 (2012), pp. 336–368] we have shown that the Wong sequences are sufficient to obtain a quasi-Kronecker form. However, we applied the Wong sequences again on the regular part to decouple the regular matrix pencil corresponding to the finite and ...

The micro-Digital Sun Sensor (μDSS) is a sun detector which senses a satellite’s instant attitude by detecting its attitude angle with respect to the sun. It is composed of a solar cell power supply, a RF communication block and an imaging chip, which is called APS+. The APS+ integrates a CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) of 368×368 pixels, a 12 bit Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC), and digital...

We examine spectral time series of coronal line Mg ix 368 A and transition region line O v 629 A, observed with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) onboard the SOHO spacecraft. Primarily we were looking for intensity and velocity oscillations in polar plumes, however by chance we detected a giant macro-spicule at the limb and were able to follow its dynamical structure. Blue and red-shift...

Abstract. Distributed wireless networking enables opportunistic operation of personal area networks (PANs). In PAN scenario, it is desirable that each device can establish a wireless connection among devices near by, without a help of access point (AP) or central coordinator. Distributed Media Access Control (MAC) is one of the key technologies enabling distributed wireless networking, and WiMe...

Efficacy of three rates of aldicarb for control of Hoplolaimus columbus was evaluated on highly tolerant ('Foster'), moderately tolerant ('Coker 368'), and highly susceptible ('Braxton') soybean cultivars planted on 28 June 1985. Average yields of the nontreated cultivars were 557 kg/ha for Braxton, 1,309 kg/ha for Coker 368, and 1,682 kg/ha for Foster. Yield differences were significant. Aldic...
