Since many years Doppler radar profilers are known as valuable tools to retrieve profiles of rain rate and further rain parameters (e.g. Wakasugi et al. (1986)). Applying well established relations for terminal fall velocity, shape and backscatter cross section of rain drops allows to derive rain rate without empirical assumptions. For calculating the backscatter cross section, the flattening o...

Let Γ ⊂ X be a smooth curve on a 3-fold which has only index 1 terminal singularities along this curve. In this paper we investigate the existence of extremal terminal divisorial contractions E ⊂ Y −→ Γ ⊂ X , contracting an irreducible surface E to Γ. We consider cases with respect to the singularities of the general hypersurface section S of X through Γ. We completely classify the cases when S...

This paper presents the algorithms developed to detect and locate faults ata hybrid circuit. First, fault detection algorithm was using comparison of total positive-sequence current between pre-fault times occurrence a fault. Then, voltage check method used decide whether occurred at overhead line (OHL) or cable section. Finally, location impedance-based negative-sequence measurements from both...

We have developed a procedure to isolate, from skeletal muscle, enriched terminal cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which retain morphologically intact junctional "feet" structures similar to those observed in situ. The fraction is largely devoid of transverse tubule, plasma membrane, mitochondria, triads (transverse tubules junctionally associated with terminal cisternae), and longitud...

a new biological active hexapeptide of c-terminal of nocistatin, contains glu-gln-lys-gln-leu-gln sequence was synthesized according to solid phase peptide synthesis on the surface of 2-chloro tritylchloride resin and using fmoc-protected amino acids in the presence of tbtu (o-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-n,n,n',n'-tetramethyl uranium tetrafluoroborate) as a coupling reagent. then, amidation o...

Anion exchange is a nearly ubiquitous cellular transport function which contributes to the regulation of cell pH and of cell volume. However, the only plasma membrane anion exchanger of known identity and sequence is erythroid band 3. Both hybridization and immunologic data support the presence of band 3-related mRNAs and proteins in nonerythroid tissues. We have used low stringency hybridizati...

this study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated straddle carrier (sc), rubber tyred gantry (rtg) and automated rail mounted gantry (rmg) container yard operating cranes. it develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
