Abstract. The surface mass balance (SMB) of a glacier provides the link between and local climate. For this reason, it is intensively studied monitored. However, major efforts are required to determine point SMB at sufficient number locations capture heterogeneity pattern. Furthermore, because time-consuming costly nature these measurements, detailed measurements carried out on only limited gla...

Abstract Aim Smallmouth Bass ( Micropterus dolomieu ; SMB) are globally popular among anglers and have been widely introduced (i.e. stocked) for population management sportfishing. Importantly, stocking was prevalent before cryptic diversity within the SMB complex known, which now includes three newly elevated species: Neosho M. velox NB), Little River sp. cf. River; LRB) Ouachita OB). We sough...

The CPS networking infrastructure is comprised of an Ethernet based frontend fabric and an RDMA enabled storage backend fabric, which utilizes the SMB Direct protocol for high efficiency, high performance storage networking. The SMB Direct protocol enables high throughput, low latency and high efficiency storage, and unprecedented performance in virtual machine mobility. Native system software ...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmia occurrence is a variable but serious concern of cell therapy for treating heart failure. Using a rat postinfarction chronic heart failure model, we compared skeletal myoblast (SMB) with bone marrow cell (BMC) injection to highlight donor cell-specific, late-phase arrhythmogenesis and the underlying factors. METHODS AND RESULTS SMBs or BMCs derived from male GFP-transgeni...

Food material shape is often closely related to its quality. Due to the demands of high quality, automated food shape inspection has become an important need for the food industry. Currently, accuracy and speed are two major problems for food shape inspection with computer vision. Therefore, in this study, a fast and accurate computer-vision based feature extraction and classification system wa...

A two-tier optimizing control strategy of a simulated moving bed (SMB) process has been studied on the basis of repetitive control. Repetitive model predictive control (RMPC) of product purities is carried out in the lower tier and the optimum feed and desorbent flow rates and the length of switching period are determined in the upper tier. Both of them are based on a fundamental SMB model whic...

This work is focused at understanding the interaction of H2S with Myoglobin (Mb), in particular the Sulfmyoglobin (SMb) product, whose physiological role is controversial and not well understood. The scattering curves, Guinier, Kratky, Porod and P(r) plots were analyzed for oxy-Mb and oxy-Hemoglobin I (oxyHbI) in the absence and presence of H2S, using Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS...

The freshwater flux from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) to the ocean is of considerable importance to the global eustatic sea level rise. A physical modelling approach using SnowModel, a state-of-the-art snow-evolution modelling system that includes four submodels (MicroMet, EnBal, SnowPack, and SnowTran-3D), was used to quantify the 1995–2007 GrIS surface massbalance (SMB), including freshwate...

Sm proteins constitute the common core of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Although Sm proteins are known to be methylated at specific arginine residues within the C-terminal arginine-glycine dipeptide (RG) repeats, the biological relevance of these modifications remains unknown. In this study, a tissue-specific function of arginine methylation of the SmB protein was identified in...

“ICT use in Small and Medium Business in Poland. Growth factors and inhibitors” is a publication describing information technology penetration and change factors for SMB market. The basic goal of the publication was to present current picture of ICT use in transition economy of the European emerging market like Poland. This publication is dedicated to: a) policy makers specializing in SMB on em...
