Distributed Compressed Sensing (DCS) is an emerging field that exploits both intraand inter-signal correlation structures and enables new distributed coding algorithms for multiple signal ensembles in wireless sensor networks. The DCS theory rests on the joint sparsity of a multi-signal ensemble. In this paper we propose a new mobile-agent-based Adaptive Data Fusion (ADF) algorithm to determine...

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is committed to transitioning, over time, to Network Centric Warfare (NCW). NCW sees the elements of the ADF as “nodes” in a network. The capability of such a force is determined not so much by the individual capabilities of each node, but by the systems properties of the network as a whole. In this paper, we provide a taxonomy of possible NCW architectures, i...

Historically, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has sourced all its blood supplies from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Recent ADF operations in the Middle East have highlighted a need to rely on other nations' blood supply systems. In 2008, the ADF embedded a surgical and intensive care team into the Netherlands-led forward health facility at the Uruzgan Medical Centre at Tarin Kowt i...

The Direction of Arrival (DOA) is regarded as the best initial sorting parameter for locating enemy radar. The Direction finding (DF) systems are employed for estimating the direction of arrival of radar installation. Among all the techniques Amplitude Comparison Direction Finding (ADF) technique is the simplest. The Amplitude Comparison DF compares amplitude of the signal at multiple receivers...

The effect of eight different alcohols including halogenols and alkanols on the structural transformation of aciddenatured ficin (ADF) at pH 2.5 was studied using farand near-UV circular dichroism (CD) and tryptophan fluorescence. Except methanol and ethanol, other alcohols induced α-helical structure in ADF, as revealed by the increase in MRE222nm values. The fluoro alcohols tested showed a hi...

The regulation of filopodial dynamics by neurotrophins and other guidance cues plays an integral role in growth cone pathfinding. Filopodia are F-actin-based structures that explore the local environment, generate forces and play a role in growth cone translocation. Here, we review recent research showing that the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin family of proteins mediates changes in ...

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is an important cool-season, annual forage crop for the grassland rotation system in Southern China. The primary aim of breeding programs is always to seek to improve forage quality in the animal productivity system; however, it is time- and labor-consuming when analyzed excessive large number of samples. The main objectives of this study were to construct ...

Quantitative ADF-STEM imaging paired with image simulations has proven to be a powerful technique for determining the three dimensional location of substitutionally doped atoms in thin films. Expansion of this technique to lightly-doped nanocrystals requires an understanding of the influence of specimen mistilt on dopant visibility due to the difficulty of accurate orientation determination in ...

In this paper, we consider M-ary phase shifting keying (MPSK) and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) data symbol burst transmission for adaptive decode-andforward (ADF) relay systems over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. A burst has pilot symbols and data symbols. From pilot symbols, we can estimate the channel gain and detect each relay node’s transmission mode for ADF schemes....

Neurites are the characteristic structural element of neurons that will initiate brain connectivity and elaborate information. Early in development, neurons are spherical cells but this symmetry is broken through the initial formation of neurites. This fundamental step is thought to rely on actin and microtubule dynamics. However, it is unclear which aspects of the complex actin behavior contro...
