During the years 1970-1973, the Laboratory of Information Processing Science at the Helsinki University of Technology carried out the Computer Graphics Project (CGP). The activities focused on the problems of producing newspaper text, advertisements, and complete pages using interactive computer graphics. The project and its commercial spinoff, Typlan, as well as the BUNPAPS continuation projec...

[1] New images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show the distribution and geological relations of the Sculptured Hills, a geological unit widespread in the highlands between the Serenitatis and Crisium basins. The Sculptured Hills shows knobby, undulating, radially textured, and plains-like morphologies and in many places is indistinguishable from the similarly knobby Alpes Formatio...

The use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. One way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. The use of ener...

The study was conducted to optimize lighting schedule for pre-pubertal (12 to 22 weeks) Chinese native breed Pengxian yellow pullet. A total of 414 healthy pullets (10 weeks), with similar body weight were randomly distributed into three groups (n = 138) and housed in individual cages for up to 12 weeks of age in light controlled rooms and provided normal lighting schedule (10L:14D). At 12 to 1...

glycerol is a promising feedstock for microbial cultivation and production of 1,3 propanediol (1,3 pdo). here we report a newly isolated bacterial strain ba11 from soil, capable of fermenting glycerol to 1,3 pdo, and has been identified to be a strain of klebsiella pneumoniae. strain ba11 was fast growing showing peak 1,3 pdo production in 6 h of cultivation with productivity of 1.2 g/l-h witho...

Although the acoustic variability of speech is often described as a problem for phonetic recognition, there is little research examining acoustic-phonetic variability over time. We measured naturally occurring acoustic variability in speech production at nine specific time points (three per day over three days) to examine daily change in production as well as change across days for citation-for...

AIM This study was conducted to find out the relationship of prepartum udder and teat measurements with subsequent milk production traits in primiparous Nili-Ravi buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 Nili-Ravi buffalo heifers were selected from Buffalo Farm, Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, Regional Station- Bir Dosanjh, Nabha, Patiala, Punjab. The udder length (UL), udd...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing progesterone injections by progesterone vaginal inserts on productive and reproductive parameters of lactating cows with reproductive problems after prolonged periods of heat stress. fifteen holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) treated with two progesterone vaginal inserts (p4-ins); 2) treated with prog...
