The region of SGR 1806-20 localization was observed during its gamma-ray activity in 2001. The observations have been performed on the 6-meter telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory, using the Panoramic Photometer-Polarimeter (PPP). The search for variability was performed on the 10 10 s time scale, and its results were compared to the properties of corresponding x-ray flares.

A recording dual beam light-scattering photometer is described which permits kinetic studies involving changes in turbidity, and which is not, as are single photocell instruments, affected by the errors due to the attenuation of the scattered light within the turbid medium. With this method, a renewed study has been made of the physical changes occuring in actomyosin under the influence of ATP.

We propose a nonlinear partial differential equation to control the trade-off between smoothing and segmentation of images. Its solutions approximate discontinuities, thus leading to detection of sharp boundaries in images. The performance of the approach is evaluated by applying it to images obtained by the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS), 70μm imaging band.

We have recently utilized a prototype model of the Beckman Enzyme Activity Analyzer System-TR in our laboratory measuring various serum enzyme activities which include: alkaline phosphatase (ALP), E.C.3.1.3.1; creatine kinase (CK), E.C.2.7.3.2; hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBD), E.C.1.1.1.30; lactate dehydrogenase (LD), E.C.1.1.1.27; aspartate transaminase (AST), E.C.2.6.1.1; and alanine tran...

In this paper the uncertainty of a robust photometer circuit (RPC) was estimated. Here, the RPC was considered as a measurement system, having input quantities that were inexactly known, and output quantities that consequently were also inexactly known. Input quantities represent information obtained from calibration certificates, specifications of manufacturers, and tabulated data. Output quan...
