There is a suspected relationship between glycometabolism and cognitive function in nondiabetic women. In this study, we aimed to give further evidence of a correlation between glycometabolism and cognitive function with the use of a new computer-based rating scale for Alzheimer’s disease, TDAS. The subjects were 174 non-diabetic, middle-aged, older women. The levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, t...

Holographic digital data storage systems are an exciting topic of wide spread research, and have been investigated by many research groups and companies for the next-generation of disk-based optical storage systems. Storage systems based on volume holography inherently have the characteristics of high storage density, fast data transfer rate, short random access time, and content-addressable se...

An Automated Video Surveillance system is presented in this paper. The system aims at tracking an object in motion and classifying it as a Human or Non-Human entity, which would help in subsequent human activity analysis. The system employs a novel combination of an Adaptive Background Modeling Algorithm (based on the Gaussian Mixture Model) and a Human Detection for Surveillance (HDS) System. ...

The inhibiting effect of nitrogen compounds on the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds and on the hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6 DMDBT), has been systematically investigated over a commercial NiMo hydrotreating catalyst. Amongst the different nitrogen compounds considered, interestingly ammonia was found to have the strongest inhibit...

To increase the storage capacity in holographic data (HDS), information to be stored is encoded into a complex amplitude. Fast and accurate retrieval of amplitude phase from reconstructed beam necessary during readout HDS. In this study, we proposed demodulation method based on deep learning single-shot diffraction intensity image verified it by non-interferometric lensless experiment demodulat...

systems. Nowadays, web services are the primary mean to provide interoperability with legacy applications and the large part of multi-agent applications have been realized without any strong requirement for the interoperability with other multi-agent applications. This paper presents the HDS software framework, which provides a software infrastructure to realize multi-agent applications that ei...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a global environmental concern due to detrimental impacts on river ecosystems. Little is however known regarding the biological impacts of neutralized AMD on aquatic vertebrates despite excessive discharge into watercourses. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the endocrine modulatory potential of neutralized AMD, using molecular biomarkers in the teleost f...

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome causes a heterogeneous lung injury with normal and acutely injured lung tissue in the same lung. Improperly adjusted mechanical ventilation can exacerbate ARDS causing a secondary ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). We hypothesized that a peak airway pressure of 40 cmH2O (static strain) alone would not cause additional injury in either the norma...
