This paper proposes an airborne behaviour monitoring methodology of ground vehicles based on a statistical learning approach with domain knowledge given by road map information. To monitor and track the moving ground target using UAVs aboard a moving target indicator, an interactive multiple model (IMM) filter is firstly applied. The IMM filter consists of an on-road moving mode using a roadcon...

With the continuous development of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology, WSN has gradually become one key technologies Internet, and is widely used in indoor target location technology. However, obstacles will have a great influence on distance measurement, it result large positioning error. Therefore, how to deal with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error becomes an important problem. In this pap...

Antimicrobials are frequently used for treatment of bovine mastitis and few studies have examined modern treatment strategies on large US dairy farms. The objective of this study was to describe treatment practices for clinical mastitis occurring in cows on large dairy herds in Wisconsin. Treatments performed on 747 cows experiencing cases of mild, moderate, or severe symptoms of clinical masti...

The objective of this experiment was to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and the retention rate of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe in pigs fed either inorganic or organic sources of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. There were 2 types of diets (corn grits-based or corn-soybean meal [SBM]-b...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate relationships between nutritional status, sarcopenia and osteoporosis in older women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We studied 44 women, 67-94 years, by mini-nutritional assessment (MAN), glomerular filtration corr. 1.73 m(2), body mass index (BMI), arm circumference and calf (CP and CB), bone mineral density and body composition, DXA (fat mass MG; lean MM). We gauge sarcopenia:...

This study establishes a target motion model and an observation model under the condition of colored noise by using the Kalman filter based on an improved IMM (interactive multiple model) for maneuvering target tracking. To improve the overall performance of IMM algorithm, we proposed to combine the CV (constant velocity) and CA (constant acceleration) models with the "current" statistical mode...

We investigate the problem of bearings-only tracking of manoeuvring targets using particle filters (PFs). Three different (PFs) are proposed for this problem which is formulated as a multiple model tracking problem in a jumpMarkov system (JMS) framework. The proposed filters are (i) multiple model PF (MMPF), (ii) auxiliary MMPF (AUX-MMPF), and (iii) jump Markov system PF (JMS-PF). The performan...

We have studied the physiological effects of mitomycin C induction on cells carrying ColE1 plasmids with differing configurations of three genes: the structural gene coding for colicin (cea), a gene responsible for mitomycin C lethality (kil) that we located as part of an operon with cea, and the immunity (imm) gene, which lies near cea but is not in the same operon. kil is close to or overlaps...

Lung biotransformation of the immunosuppressants, cyclosporin A (CSA), the hydroxyethyl derivative SDZ IMM 125 (IMM), and the methylcarbonate derivative SDZ SCP 764 (SCP), was demonstrated in slices from human and rat. The major biotransformation pathway for CSA and IMM (0.1-10 microM) was hydroxylation at amino acid 1 to form AM1 or IMM1, while for SCP it was an esterase cleavage of the methyl...

Key points The trajectory, magnitude and localisation of metabolic perturbations caused by immobilisation (IMM) are unresolved. Forearm glucose uptake (FGU) in response to feeding was determined healthy men before during 72 h forearm IMM, the same measurements were made non-IMM contralateral limb at baseline h. In a similar study design, FGU lipid after high fat mixed-meal (HFMM) IMM limbs. red...
