in this paper a new algorithm is presented for coherent radar detection of targets, when distribution of the interference (clutter and noise) is non-gaussian. the neyman-pearson criterion is used for optimal detection and several successive received samples from a radar range cell are used for detection in the same cell. on the basis of recent empirical evidences, the interference distribution ...

(∆− λ)f = T for a Γ-invariant distribution T on H, compactly-supported on Γ\H. The three main examples for T are described in detail below. That is, a slight roughness is tolerated in f at the support of the Γ-invariant distribution T . Three natural types of target distributions T are: (i) T is supported at a single point on Γ\H, (ii) T is supported on a closed geodesic on Γ\H, (iii) T evaluat...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of diets containing different amounts of poppy seed meal (PSM) and yeast culture (S. cerevisiae) on performance and egg quality parameters of laying hens. A total of 160 laying hens, 40 weeks old, were divided into four groups of 40 hens each, which were in turn subdivided into four subgroups of 10 hens’ experimental replicates. The animals in...

This is the Coat of Arms of the College of Anaesthetists in Dublin granted to the College in 1999 (f ig 1). In central position, representing anaesthesia is a shield containing poppy heads. The cloud above represen t s the downwards drift to unconsciousness with the healing hand of the physician in attendance. The cloud might have another interpretation for there can hardly be a treatment in me...

This article discusses the cycle of conversion, consumption, and corruption that undermines the environment and civil society in Cambodia and Burma (Myanmar). In these countries, forests are declining in patterns similar to other Southeast Asian deforestation. Illegal logging, prostitution, and heroin trafficking constitute the bulk of Cambodia's shadow economy. Revenues are used to provide ...

A question of medico-legal interest occasionally occurs in Civil Surgeons' work, when a sample of opium is submitted by the police, or Magistrate for favour of an opinion as to whether it is crude opium or Government excise opium. Thisopinion is asked for as it is illegal to sell crude opium. Text-books on medical jurisprudence seem to o-ive no information on the point, and as it is a question ...

BACKGROUND To screen methanolic extracts of 26 commonly used Indian spices against nine species of uropathogenic bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), isolated from clinical samples of a tertiary care hospital for antib...
