Design for Environment (DfE) has become a main stream policy that aims to gratify the human needs while preserving the ecological environment. Nowadays many countries have established environmental laws. Hence, companies are being asked to provide the eco-profiles of products. In order to assist electronic companies to execute the life cycle assessment (LCA) and construct the eco-profiles for a...

In the analysis of non monotone missing data patterns in multinomial distri butions for contingency tables it is known that explicit MLEs of the unknown parameters cannot be obtained Iterative procedures such as the EM algorithm are therefore required to obtain the MLEs These iterative procedures however may o er several potential di culties Andersson and Perlman intro duced lattice conditional...

Angle-resolved low-coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is used to obtain quantitative, depth-resolved nuclear morphology measurements. We compare the average diameter and texture of cell nuclei in rat esophagus epithelial tissue to grading criteria established in a previous a/LCI study to prospectively grade neoplastic progression. We exploit the depth resolution of a/LCI to exclusively examine th...

This document specifies a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option for the coordinate-based geographic location of the client. The Location Configuration Information (LCI) includes latitude, longitude, and altitude, with resolution indicators for each. The reference datum for these values is also included. Polk, et al. Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 3825 DHCP Option for Coordinate LCI July 2004...

RATIONALE Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) allows early intervention. Design of randomised controlled trials (RCT) is currently impeded by uncertainty regarding evolution of lung function, an important trial end point in such infants. OBJECTIVE To assess changes in pulmonary function during the first year of life in CF NBS infants. METHODS Observational longitudinal study. C...

Abstract River is one of the surface water resources used to meet people’s need for daily clean water. Along with population growth, problems related waste produced are also increasing and causing environmental pollution, including river pollution. sustainability issues that has attracted attention various institutions, which Citarum sources raw people in West Java. In this study, analysis cond...

In the present paper we investigate the possibility of narrowing the depth range of a physical Shack - Hartmann (SH) wavefront sensor (WFS) by using coherence gating. For the coherence gating, two low coherence interferometry (LCI) methods are evaluated and proof of principle configurations demonstrated: (i) a time domain LCI method based on phase shifting interferometry and (ii) a spectral dom...

OCT is a high resolution imaging modality that uses low coherence interferometry (LCI) techniques (in situ and real time) with axial resolution of 1–15μm to perform high resolution imaging of biological tissues [1]. OCT is suitable for real time imaging modality of transparent tissues up to depth limit of ~2 mm by scanning the reference mirror. [2,3]. Initially, LCI was applied in measurement o...

With the emphasis on self-directed learning (SDL) and learner-controlled instruction (LCI) the author looks into the mechanism that has made several business and industrial sectors in the Western world progress significantly in the training and development field. The achievement of this strategy as compared to the traditional training of time-based rotation has made several organizations follow...
