Abstract We present a power market model that couples short-term electricity markets of five interconnected countries: Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy and France. The simulates the Swiss energy transition. It examines impact international (carbon taxation, fuel prices expansion cross-border transmission capacities) national policies both on operation long-term evolution supply, CO2 emissio...

In veterinary medicine, coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) other than Staphylococcus aureus have frequently been misidentified as being S. aureus strains, as they have several phenotypic traits in common. There has been no reliable method to distinguish among CoPS species in veterinary clinical laboratories. In the present study, we sequenced the thermonuclease (nuc) genes of staphylococca...

The non-uniform response in infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detectors produces corrupted images with a fixed-pattern noise. In this paper we present a new adaptive scene-based non-uniformity correction (NUC) technique. The method simultaneously estimates detector’s parameters and performs the non-uniformity compensation using a neural approach and a Kalman estimator in a frame by frame recur...

In this paper, we present a simple and effective scene-based nonuniformity correction (NUC) method for infrared focal plane arrays based on interframe registration. This method estimates the global translation between two adjacent frames and minimizes the mean square error between the two properly registered images to make any two detectors with the same scene produce the same output value. In ...

Bu çalışmada, Isparta ve Antalya illerinde perakende satışı yapılan kanatlı etlerinde (32 piliç, 9 hindi, bıldırcın) Staphylococcus aureus yaygınlığının araştırılması, antibiyotik direnç profilleri genlerinin yanı sıra enterotoksin genleri varlığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kanatlı etlerinden muhtemel S. izolasyonunda Baird Parker agar besiyeri kullanılmıştır. İzolatların tür düzeyinde tanı...

Abstract We present a new partially coherent source with spatiotemporal coupling. The stochastic light, which we call (ST) non-uniformly correlated (NUC) beam, combines space and time in an inhomogeneous (shift- or space-variant) correlation function. This results that self-focuses at controllable location space-time, making these beams potentially useful applications such as optical trapping, ...

Mutation of sarA in Staphylococcus aureus results in a reduced capacity to form a biofilm, but the mechanistic basis for this remains unknown. Previous transcriptional profiling experiments identified a number of genes that are differentially expressed both in a biofilm and in a sarA mutant. This included genes involved in acid tolerance and the production of nucleolytic and proteolytic exoenzy...
