A pulse height analysis (PHA) system has been installed on the Alcator C-Mod magnetic confinement fusion experiment. The PHA utilizes a Si(Li) detector to measure soft X-rays in the 1-30 keV range with an energy resolution on the order of 100eV. A FASTComtec MCA-3 multichannel analyzer allows integration times of ims while the PHA supports counting rates of up to 80kHz. The thermal electron tem...

background: acute bacterial meningitis is among serious infections of the central nervous system (cns). the early diagnosis and empiric antibiotic treatments have led to a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates. pcr and the enzymatic digestion of 16s rdna fragment following the pcr by universal primers led up fast and sensitive determination. the aims of the present study was to improve our...

In this paper we seek to estimate the impact of residential location and the corresponding neighborhood on technology choices. Local interactions have been incorporated into numerous models in the literature although the empirical evidence is scarce particularly due to problems of indentification. In this paper we use the ethnicity variable to get around this problem. We assume that people belo...

A final evaluation of the project Development of a verb thesaurus for dynamic information environments. Implementation of the ISO/IEC 12350:1999 standard is presented as a base for the use of its results on future research projects. First, the interest of the Library and Information Science field towards verbal structures is justified for its efficacy on the documental analysis of the movement ...

ÐA framework for automatic landmark indentification is presented based on an algorithm for corresponding the boundaries of two shapes. The auto-landmarking framework employs a binary tree of corresponded pairs of shapes to generate landmarks automatically on each of a set of example shapes. The landmarks are used to train statistical shape models known as Point Distribution Models. The correspo...
