This paper discusses the performance and analysis of a recently published scene-based statistical technique for nonuniformity correction (NUC) of infrared focal plane arrays (FPA). In particular, the method is improved by reducing the number of parameters computing in real-time from three (gain, offset and the standard deviation of the temporal noise) to two (gain and offset). A simple statisti...

Current infra-red focal point arrays (IRFPAs) are limited by their inability to calibrate out component variations. 1 Nonuniformity correction (NUC) techniques have been developed and implemented in oo-board digital hardware to perform the necessary calibration for most IR sensing applications. There are two possible types of NUC that can be considered for focal-plane integration: (1) Two-point...

The magnetic hyperfine structure constants have been calculated for low-lying levels in neutral gold atom and gold-like ion of mercury taking into account Bohr--Weisskopf (BW) effect. BW effect is represented as a product atomic nuclear ($d_\mathrm{nuc}$) factors. We the factors, which enable one to extract BW-correction values far from stability nuclei experimental data. possible uncertainty o...

This paper describes a model for gain and offset non-uniformities and correction algorithm for nonuniformities. The infrared sensor model determines the number of photoelectrons generated from total incident flux and relates these electrons with integration time. It includes gain and offset non-uniformities in infrared sensor. A methodology for calibrating the sensor non-uniformities is present...

This study was performed to compare the quality and functionality of broccoli juice as affected by extraction method. Broccoli juice was extracted using method I (NUC Kuvings silent juicer), method II (NUC centrifugal juicer), and method III (NUC mixer), and the quality properties of the broccoli juices were analyzed using three different methods. Additionally, the antioxidative, anticancer, an...

During digital video acquisition, imagery may be degraded by a number of phenomena including undersampling, blur, and noise. Many systems, particularly those containing infrared focal plane array (FPA) sensors, are also subject to detector nonuniformity. Nonuniformity, or fixed pattern noise, results from nonuniform responsivity of the photodetectors that make up the FPA. Here we propose a maxi...

Lactococcus lactis, a food-grade nonpathogenic lactic acid bacterium, is a good candidate for the production of heterologous proteins of therapeutic interest. We examined host factors that affect secretion of heterologous proteins in L. lactis. Random insertional mutagenesis was performed with L. lactis strain MG1363 carrying a staphylococcal nuclease (Nuc) reporter cassette in its chromosome. ...

The IncN plasmid pKM101 nuc gene encodes a periplasmically localized endonuclease. DNA sequence analysis indicates that this gene encodes a hydrophilic protein of about 19.5 kDa containing a hydrophobic signal sequence. nuc is homologous to a partially sequenced open reading frame adjacent to the sog gene of the plasmid CollB-P9, a plasmid known to encode an endonuclease similar to that of pKM1...

High expression of SQSTM1/p62 (p62) protein, which functions as a hub for various cellular signaling pathways, has been detected in several human cancers. However, the clinicopathological impact of high p62 expression is largely unknown in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Here, the expression level of p62 in primary EOCs (n=266) was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and its clinical significanc...
