This paper investigates two methods for GMTI using three-channel SAR-ATI data. Motivated by previous results in the two-channel case, a deterministic method for finding an Eigendecomposition of the SAR-ATI sample covariance matrix is presented. The CFAR detection capability of each of the eight parameters of the Eigendecomposition is evaluated using measured three-channel airborne data and comp...

Here is described the isolation of a naturally occurring A-type inclusion body (ATI)-negative vaccinia-like virus, Belo Horizonte virus (VBH), obtained from a mousepox-like outbreak in Brazil. The isolated virus was identified and characterized as an orthopoxvirus by conventional methods. Molecular characterization of the virus was done by DNA cross-hybridization using Vaccinia virus (VACV) DNA...

Baloui Jamkhaneh et al. (2008, 2009) have introduced a new acceptance sampling plan. In that plan the fraction of defective items is a fuzzy number. In this paper we introduce the average outgoing quality (AOQ) and average total inspect (ATI) for single sampling plan when that proportion nonconforming items is fuzzy number. We have shown that AOQ and ATI curves of the plan are like band having ...

Viral load (VL) rebound timing and set point were analyzed in 235 participants undergoing analytic treatment interruption (ATI) in 6 AIDS Clinical Trials Group studies. There was no significant association between rebound timing and ATI VL set point for those who rebounded ≤12 weeks. VL set points were lower in participants with rebound >12 weeks (P < 0.001) and participants treated during earl...

Viral load (VL) rebound timing and set point were analyzed in 235 participants undergoing analytic treatment interruption (ATI) in 6 ACTG studies. There was no significant association between rebound timing and ATI VL set point for those who rebounded ≤12 weeks. VL set points were lower in participants with rebound >12 weeks (p<0.001) and participants treated during early infection (p<0.001). P...

Auxotrophic mutants of the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica requiring l-Phe or l-Tyr were isolated and identified as strains lacking prephenate dehydratase (strain GH71) or arogenate dehydrogenase (strain GH70), respectively. A. methanolica thus employs single pathways only for the biosynthesis of these aromatic amino acids. Anion-exchange chromatography of extracts revealed two peaks wit...

Hearing loss was studied in relation to age in nonoperated ears in a group of 142 subjects with autosomal dominant osteogenesis imperfecta type I, which was compared to that in a random subsample of 70 subjects. In the n = 142 group, particularly below the age of 30 years, considerable selection (ie, for ear surgery) had occurred on hearing loss. The hearing threshold increased gradually with a...

Audiograms were traced or additionally performed on 23 Usher's syndrome patients in 10 Dutch multi-affected families, all linked to chromosome 1q (USH2A locus). Serial audiograms, available in 13 patients, were used for a regression analysis of binaural pure tone average on age (follow-up, 9 to 32 years) to test for "significant progression," ie, a significant regression coefficient, here calle...

Alveolar type II (ATII) epithelial cells play a crucial role in the repair and remodeling of the lung following injury. ATII cells have the capability to proliferate and differentiate into alveolar type I (ATI) cells in vivo and into an ATI-like phenotype in vitro. While previous reports indicate that the differentiation of ATII cells into ATI cells is a complex biological process, the underlyi...

We have mapped and determined the nucleotide sequence of the cowpox virus (CPV) gene coding for the protein of A-type inclusion bodies (ATI). The ATI gene was mapped to the central part of the largest HindIII restriction fragment of the CPV genome. Vaccinia virus (VV) also contained a similar sequence at the equivalent position in its genome, which even under stringent conditions hybridized wit...
