Focal molography ("molography" in short) is a sensitive implementation of diffractometric biosensor and has emerged as new platform technology to study biomolecular interactions label-free complex fluids living cells. In contrast established refractometric biosensors, particular surface plasmon resonance, almost insensitive environmental noise, i.e. temperature gradients nonspecific binding. Mo...

OBJECTIVE While mobile crisis teams have proliferated to address gaps in service for individuals with serious mental illness, research into their effectiveness is limited. This study identifies specific cohorts of individuals served by a single mobile crisis team so that appropriate program evaluation could be designed and conducted for each unique grouping. METHOD This retrospective study an...

Turbulent and internal wave motions are important for the exchange of momentum, heat suspended matter in deep-sea which is generally stably stratified density. Turbulence-generation models involve shear vertical current differences that deforms waters, convection drive by (unstable) buoyancy. Shear-generation found more general well-stratified ocean-interior, while known to occur near sea-surfa...

Cognitive deficits are trait markers in schizophrenia and the improvement of these dysfunctions has been considered as a new frontier of treatment in this disease. A current model for the patophysiology of schizophrenia states that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction leads to a dysregulation of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) fast- spiking interneurons, consequently disinhibiting...

The phase vocoder is a well-known technique for dividing an audio signal into time-varying sinusoidal components and estimating their frequencies and amplitudes. The accuracy of the frequency estimates is studied here by predicting, and then measuring experimentally, the magnitude of errors due to two factors: 1) interference between different components, and 2) interference due to the presence...

background: noise is one of the most important harmful agents in work environment. noise pollution in oil refinery industries is related to workers' health. this study aimed to determine the overall noise pollution of an oil refinery operation and its frequency analysis to determine the control plan for a vent noise in these industries. methods: this experimental study performed in control unit...

Extraction of the foetal electrocardiogram from single-channel maternal abdominal signals without disturbing its morphology is difficult. We propose to solve the problem by application of projective filtering of time-aligned ECG beats. The method performs synchronization of the beats and then employs the rules of principal component analysis to the desired ECG reconstruction. In the first stage...
