Either passive calibration targets are expensive and complex to manufacture or their bistatic RCS levels are significantly lower than the monostatic RCS levels of targets such as spheres, dihedraland trihedral corner reflectors. In this paper the performance of an active calibration target with relative high bistatic RCS values is illustrated as a reference target for bistatic RCS measurements....

Strengthening research capacity in low- and middle-income countries is one of the most effective ways of advancing their health and development but the complexity and heterogeneity of health research capacity strengthening (RCS) initiatives means it is difficult to evaluate their effectiveness. Our study aimed to enhance understanding about these difficulties and to make recommendations about h...

Previous studies have revealed that the reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) of SJL/J (H-2s, IE-) mice express an "IE-like" stimulatory tumor-associated antigen, the expression of which is requisite for stimulating host T cells necessary for tumor growth. Herein, we present evidence that the predominant T cells raised in the syngeneic response to both spontaneous and transplantable RCS tumors are of th...

The Comprehensive System for the Rorschach (RCS) is currently the subject of intense scientific criticism. The normative data for many RCS scores are seriously in error and tend to make normal individuals appear maladjusted. Reliability is inadequate for many RCS scores, and validity for the great majority of RCS scores has not been adequately demonstrated. In addition, a substantial number of ...

The results of studies on the reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) tumors of SJL/J mice presented here, indicate that spontaneous tumors, which arise in older mice, also possess the capacity to induce the vigorous proliferative response in syngenetic T lymphocytes that are characteristic of the transplantable RCS lines. Analysis of cell surface antigens revealed the presence of Ia determinats on gradie...

The hierarchical real-time control systems (RCS) reference model architecture that is under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology aims at designing and developing intelligent control for large and complex systems. A methodology being developed to create RCS-based systems exhibits many characteristics that are similar to object-oriented paradigms. The authors compare ...

Polyunsaturated fats have been linked to occurrences of sporadic colon cancer. One possible cause may be degradation of polyunsaturated fats during cooking, resulting in multiple reactive carbonyl species (RCS) that can damage nuclear DNA and proteins, particularly in rapidly dividing colon crypt cells. This study describes a novel antiserum against RCS-modified DNA, with apparent order of reac...

The reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) 1 of S JL / J mice has been shown to express alien histocompatibility membrane antigens (1, 2). This form of tumor antigen is, by definition, present on cancerous, but not normal, syngeneic tissues. However, it differs from other forms of tumor-associated antigens because it is a normal membrane component of one or more strains allogeneic to the host (3). In the...
