Formaldehyde (FA) is a very toxic pollutant. FA in indoor air has a negative effect on human health and should be removed by ventilation or by conversion to non-toxic products. The formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FdDH), a NADand glutathione-dependent enzyme from recombinant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha, was tested for its ability to oxidize airborne FA. A continuous fluidized bed biore...

This paper discusses the distributed nature of airborne software intensive systems. The concept of fly-by-wire, the issues of safety, component communication, and certification are on the forefront of modern airborne applications. Since the communication between variety of onboard systems and subsystems is of paramount importance, the paper discusses the properties of new bus standard based on ...

This letter presents a technique to detect and correct phase errors appearing in interferometric airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems due to the lack of precision in the navigation system. The technique is based on a multisquint processing approach, i.e., by processing the same image pairs with different squint angles we can combine the information of different interferograms to obta...

The paper describes airborne sensor networks for target tracking and identification in military applications. The raw information about targets from airborne sensors is uncertain and often noisy. One challenge in airborne sensor networks is how to effectively fuse enormous amounts of uncertain and noisy information for better battlefield situation assessment. In this paper we present a novel ap...

A real-time visual tracking system is presented for tracking airborne targets. The algorithm is based on intensity difference between background and the target in a gray-scale frame. As the background is uniform for videos of airborne targets, decision is made on contrast between tracking gate boundary and the target inside that rectangular gate. The algorithm is embedded on DSP Starter Kit (DS...
