The German remote sensing satellite TerraSAR-X, launched in 2007, hosts a flexible XBand synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operating in Stripmap, Spotlight, ScanSAR, and additional experimental modes. For these various antenna beams, its active phased array antenna electronically steers and shapes the patterns in azimuth and elevation direction. The array consists of 384 radiating sub-arrays for h...

We study the projective linear group PGL2(A) associated with an arbitrary algebra A, and its subgroups from the point of view of their action on the space of involutions in A. This action formally resembles Möbius transformations known from complex geometry. By specifying A to be an algebra of bounded operators in a Hilbert space H, we rediscover the Möbius group μev(M) defined by Connes and st...

This action formally resembles M obius transformations known from complex geometry. By specifying A to be an algebra of bounded operators in a Hilbert space H, we rediscover the Mobius group ev (M) de ned by Connes and...

The development of LSI technology makes it possible to partition a system into replaceable modules, and the advent of low-cost microprocessors makes possible networks of hundreds (or more) of interconnected modules. The problem of repairing such a system is becoming a matter of major importance in digital systems. In this paper a new procedure for defining an optimal design with respect to cost...

In [Hov02], the second author introduced the Gorenstein projective and Gorenstein injective model structures on R-Mod, the category of R-modules, where R is any Gorenstein ring. These two model structures are Quillen equivalent and in fact there is a third equivalent structure we introduce; the Gorenstein flat model structure. The homotopy category with respect to each of these is called the st...

In this paper we investigate how algorithms for computing heights, radicals, unmixed and primary decompositions of ideals can be lifted from a Noetherian commutative ring R to polynomial rings over R. It is a standard problem in mathematics to study which properties of a mathematical structure are preserved in derived structures. A typical result of this kind is the Hilbert Basis Theorem which ...

this study involved 154 anesthetized patients requiring endotracheal intubation, in whom the epiglottis was visible but not lifted, which restricted the view of the glottis. a simple stylet was used to lift the epiglottis, thus improving the view of the glottis with the glide scope®, allowing tracheal tubes to be inserted into the patients. the stylet easily resolved the difficulty of lifting t...
