Since the discovery of the NICMOS count rate dependent non-linearity documented in NICMOS ISR 2005-002, additional tests have been conducted to further understand and quantify the effect. Long integrations of up to 25 minutes exhibited the same level of non-linearity as the original 1-3 minute integrations. Observations of the star P041C on high background from an internal flat field lamp provi...

Until now the main purpose of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) has been to compliment the power plants. However, if DERs are to play a larger role in the power grid of the future, then improved communication and cooperation between these resources and the system operators is necessary. Cooperation requires intelligence at the level of the DER as well as at the aggregator level, and in order ...

GENERAL COMMENTS First, I would like to compliment the authors on their research – understanding how the general public is exposed to important health issues through mass media is a key step towards the development of health communication and interventions to promote healthy behavior. I like that the authors recognized the variation in scope and reach across newspapers, and discussed the findin...

Although assessment-based approaches and measurement-based approaches are often considered as competitors, they compliment each other very well. Assessments are strong in identifying improvement objectives within a relatively short time frame, but are weak in guiding the actual implementation of the proposed changes. Measurement, however, supports very well in supporting actual changes and prov...

Advances in computer speed and availability of user friendly software has made computational fluid dynamics (CFD) a cost effective compliment and at times alternative to physical modeling in the field of civil engineering hydraulics. The use of CFD is wide spread in mechanical and aerospace engineering, however, in the field of civil engineering and particularly in hydraulics, there is minimal ...

Angio-oedema may be hereditary or acquired and is characterised by episodes of potentially life threatening localised tissue oedema and swelling resulting from deficiency of compliment pathway C1 esterase inhibitor. Acquired angio-oedema is about ten times less frequent than the hereditary type and has been associated with immune-deficiency disorders, malignancies and exposure to specific medic...

In this article, we consider an implicit iterative scheme for two asymptotically quasi-I-nonexpansive mappingsS1, S2 and two asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping I1, I2 in Banach space. We obtain convergence results for considered iteration to common fixed point of two asymptotically quasi-I-nonexpansive mappings, asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping and equilibrium problem in frame w...

Most dairy farms in Wisconsin continue to follow a fairly generalized formula of how to produce milk. Cows and replacement heifers are fed primarily homegrown feed from crop rotations comprising alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), corn (Zea mays L.), oats (Avena spp.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Protein and mineral supplements are purchased to compliment dairy diets. However, the dairy indust...

Hereditary Angiooedema (HAE) is characterized by a deficit or by a malfunctioning of C11nh; its symptoms vary greatly from one individual to another. Some studies suggest that some of the attacks of HAE may be triggered or affected by stress and emotional states (Zotter et al., 2014), however this link has never been examined in depth. Moreover, recent research has highlighted the influence of ...

Implementing microwave frequency qubits in future quantum networks will require coherent interconversion between single optical and microwave photons. Recent progress towards this goal has been made in cavity optomechanics, where the position of a mesoscopic object modulates the frequency of both microwave and optical cavities [1]. To compliment optomechanics, it may be worth considering altern...
