—RADARSAT-1 synthetic aperture radar data, speckle reduction, and texture measures provided for separation among forest types within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, MN, USA. The highest transformed divergence values for 16-bit data resulted from speckle filtering while the highest values for 8-bit data resulted from the orthorectified image, before and after performing a histogram stretch. F...

Recent studies have shown that swimming is of relatively low asthmogenicity, even under conditions of high respiratory heat (and/or water) loss (RHL). It has been suggested that the horizontal body position may contribute to swimming's low asthmogenicity. We studied the effects of upright and prone body postures on pulmonary function following exercise (EIA) and after nonexercise hyperventilati...

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different photoperiods and darkness on the growth and survival of juvenile Catla catla in the laboratory for 90 days. Fishes were divided into four aquaria (10 fish per aquarium), and subjected to different photoperiod regimes of 8 hours light: 16 hours dark (8L:16D), 16 hours light: 8 hours dark (16L:8D), continuous light (24L:0D) and co...

Conventional microprocessor designs treat register operands as atomic units. In such designs, no portion of an operand may be consumed until the entire operand has been produced. In practice, logic circuits and arithmetic units that generate some portion of an operand in advance of the remaining portions are both feasible and desirable, and have been employed in several existing designs. In thi...
