IIE high incidence of arteriosclerosis in juveneile dial)etes is. well known. White recently reported that 88 per cent of her lar(ge series of 1072 cases had evideiice of calcified arteries after 29 years of diabetes.i It is evident that todav vaseular disease is the iost importallt pathologic complication of the younog dial)etic, and that coroniary atherosclerosislplays a signtificant part in ...

Differential absorption lidar (DIAL) has been shown to be a very effective technique for the location and quantification of emissions pollutants greenhouse gases at industrial facilities. Several field trials have demonstrated DIAL system performances contributed development methodology, which is basis protocols described in European Standard EN 17628. While numerous papers focused on different...

Researchers at the Mississippi State University Diagnostic and Instrumentation Laboratory (DIAL) are collaborating with scientists at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) to develop an expert system that analyzes and characterizes containerized radiological waste. The DIAL researchers are making use of various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to develop different versions of ...

HE dial gauge dendrometer, developed by Reineke a and improved by Daubenmire, a has been in use for the past two years in the Harvard Forest as a tool for measuring the effect of silvicukural treatments on the growth of the residual stand. Its use gives promise of greatly speedin• up silvicultural research by permitting the observer to evaluate the growth produced by treatment years before it w...

For regular patient transportation and emergency transportation with ambulance vehicles a dy-namic dial-a-ride (DARP) problem has to be solved. We analyze two scheduling strategies for theregular dial-a-ride orders in order to minimize routing costs and to maximize transportation qual-ity. Furthermore, we review practical requirements and suggest a conceptual architecture for a<...

In this paper we consider a simple variant of the Online Dial-a-Ride Problem from a probabilistic point of view. To this end, we look at a probabilistic version of this online Dial-a-Ride problem and introduce a probabilistic notion of the competitive ratio which states that an algorithm performs well on the vast majority of the instances. Our main result is that under the assumption of high lo...

Atmospheric water vapour is the dominant gas in greenhouse effect and its diurnal cycle an essential component of hydrological cycle. High-quality water-vapour measurements are critical observations for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, which encounter difficulties Arctic due to unique weather. Accurate can improve precipitation rate type predictions. In this study, we use a preproduct...
