BACKGROUND The INDIAN blood group system comprises 4 antigens sensitive to enzymes and 2-aminoethyl isothiouronium bromide (AET). AIM The patient's antibody was investigated for its specificity to the high-frequency antigens (HFA) of this system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Low ionic strength solution (LISS)-tube/LISS-indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) methods were used. The patient's red blood cell...

In this letter, we consider the problem of regulating voltage an islanded Direct Current (DC) network subject to (i) unknown ZIP-loads, i.e., nonlinear loads with parallel combination constant impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P) components, (ii) time-varying disturbances. Using port-Hamiltonian framework, two decentralized passivity-based control schemes are designed. It is shown that, usi...

This paper attempts to integrate satellite imagery such as Cartosat-1 with high spatial resolution and IRS P6 LISS IV with high spectral resolution using digital image fusion algorithms. This integration and mixing of hispectral and higher spatial data with complementary spectral and spatial characteristics, has proved to be promising to obtain images with high spatial and spectral resolution s...

Officials with the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) are presently reviewing the suite of indicators used to assess and report on Long Island Sound's ecological health and the programmatic success of the LISS. As part of this evaluation, managers seek to determine whether there are environmental variables that offer valuable information on ecosystem condition but that have not historically been tr...

This study attempts to measure and characterize urban sprawl using its multiple dimensions in the Jamnagar city, India. The study utilized the multi-date satellite images acquired by CORONA, IRS 1D PAN & LISS-3, IRS P6 LISS-4 and Resourcesat-2 LISS-4 sensors. The extent of urban growth in the study area was mapped at 1:25,000 scale for the years 1965, 2000, 2005 and 2011. The growth of urban ar...

The incidence of femoral fracture on hip prosthesis is increasing. Plate fixation is the method of choice when the prosthesis is stable. In fracture with proximal extension, the quality of the bone fixation is critical and, despite the development of anatomic plates, may be endangered when there are too few proximal screws. To resolve this issue, we recommend using a reversed LCP™ anatomic dist...
