The term ‘‘micronaire” describes an important cotton fiber property by characterizing both the fibermaturity and fineness. In practice, micronaire is regularlymeasured in laboratories with the well established high volume instrumentation (HVI) protocol. In most scenarios, cotton breeders/geneticists sent cotton breeding line field trial samples to laboratories equipped to use the HVI systems av...

The classically conditioned eyeblink response in the rabbit is one of the best-characterized behavioral models of associative learning. It is cerebellum dependent, with many studies indicating that the hemispheral part of Larsell's cerebellar cortical lobule VI (HVI) is critical for the acquisition and performance of learned responses. However, there remain uncertainties about the distribution ...

PURPOSE Considering the improvements in CT over the past decade, this study aimed to determine whether CT can diagnose HVI in pediatric trauma patients with seatbelt signs (SBS). METHODS We retrospectively identified pediatric patients with SBS who had abdominopelvic CT performed on initial evaluation over 5 1/2years. Abnormal CT was defined by identification of any intra-abdominal abnormalit...

The improved Situational awareness in Persistent Surveillance Systems (PSS) is an ongoing research effort of the Department of Defense. Most PSS generate huge volume of raw data and they heavily rely on human operators to interpret and inference data in order to detect potential threats. Many outdoor apprehensive activities involve vehicles as their primary source of transportation to and from ...

The occurrence of extreme heat and its adverse effects will be exacerbated with the trend of global warming. An increasing number of researchers have been working on aggregating multiple heat-related indicators to create composite indices for heat vulnerability assessments and have visualized the vulnerability through geographic information systems to provide references for reducing the adverse...

Observations from the field and experimental evidence suggest that different strains of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) can induce disease of varying severity in Atlantic salmon. Variation in host mortality and dissemination of ISAV isolates with high and low virulence was investigated using immersion challenge; from which mortality, pathological, immunohistochemical and preliminary mole...

High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields from space exploration additive manufacturing and can be used help understand the physical chemical behaviors of materials under extreme dynamic conditions. Recent advances in experimental techniques for single have allowed fundamental investigations dynamical responses wide-ranging samples including soft materials, nano-composites...

High volume instrumentation (HVITM) measurement is a primary and routine tool of providing fiber properties to cotton researchers. There have been considerable studies designed to derive yarn quality from acquired fiber quality data by various means, including HVI. There is also of desired information about the comparison of yarn quality within a cotton cultivar or among the cultivars, as such ...
