An assay technique, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, is described for the quantitative determination of morphine derivatives in biological fluids. An enzyme is labeled with morphine. When the enzymelabeled morphine is bound by antimorphine antibodies, the enzyme is rendered inactive. Free morphine competes with enzyme-morphine for antibody binding sites preventing inhibition of enzyme activity. ...

This paper presents a novel algorithm to solve the robot formation path planning problem working under uncertainty conditions such as errors the in robot’s positions, errors when sensing obstacles or walls, etc. The proposed approach provides a solution based on a leader-followers architecture (real or virtual leaders) with a prescribed formation geometry that adapts dynamically to the environm...

BACKGROUND Against a background of pandemic threat posed by SARS and avian H5N1 influenza, this study used deliberative forums to elucidate informed community perspectives on aspects of pandemic planning. METHODS Two deliberative forums were carried out with members of the South Australian community. The forums were supported by a qualitative study with adults and youths, systematic reviews o...

Network optimization strategies are core ingredients of radio access network planning for second and third generation mobile systems like GSM and UMTS. We present a combined approach for network topology optimization of the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) which considers the logical network structure as well as transport network aspects. We focus on including Point-to-Multipoint (...

The plan of transmission parameters or the network plan was created for Czech Republic in 2005 and this plan has had key effect on traffic in the telecommunication networks providing public telephone service, including mobile networks, NGN networks based on IP protocol and private networks connected to public telephone network. This paper describes practical effects of aforesaid plan on some ty...

Dynamic line rating (DLR) is an emerging technology that can remove strict power transmission constraints and potentially reduce investment costs in new generation technologies a microgrid. By implementing dynamic into distributed sizing placement problem, it possible to the on energy resources by achieving improved optimal flow results as compared planning without considering DLR. This paper e...
