Recent technology developments provide new solutions for high-resolution image acquisition for photogrammetric applications. These cameras are based on large CCD-matrices as well as CCD-line sensors and fulfill both: large field of view and high spatial resolution. Singleor multi-line cameras have been designed for spaceborne, airborne and terrestrial scanners to provide high-resolution wide an...

Background: Application of potassium ferrate is a chemical oxidation approach used for water and wastewater treatment. The aim of this study is to apply central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize potassium ferrate consumption in the treatment of wastewater from carpet industries. Methods: Samples in this experimental study were collected from wastewater...

This article describes the design and construction of a CCD camera for the f/9 Cassegrain focus of the 200-inch (5 m) Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. This instrument utilizes a set of 18inch (0.45 m) diameter lenses to change the Cassegrain focal ratio from f/16 to f/9, and the optical design prescription of these lenses is reported. For CCDs having 24zm pixels, the f/9 focus gives a rec...

In this study, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed to optimize the conditions of independent variables (adsorption time and ion solution concentration) for the removal of Zinc (II) and Ag ions from the aqueous solutions using analcime and modified analcime zeolites (Fe-ANA and Ni-ANA) as efficient and low cost adsor...

<p>This goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness a new coagulant extract from pumpkin seeds (PSC) for removing turbidity and organic compounds different natural surface waters. Two design experiment methods, namely central composite (CCD) response methodology (RSM) were used optimize PSC removal matter via chemical oxygen demand (COD) water. The CCD results indicated that more...

Combination of gyro north-finder, self-collimation photoelectric theodolite can be composed a ground rapid directional aiming system. In the paper, based on the CCD angle measurement technology, the self-collimation optical system is redesigned, focal length of the optical system is calculated, and the appropriate parameters are chosen. Optical conjugate design of the three light paths of light...

The effects of extraction time, temperature, pressure and different concentration of ethanol and their interactions on the yields of amentoflavone, quercetin and ginkgetin extracted from Taxus chinensis by supercritical CO2 were investigated by using a central composite design (CCD). An CCD experimental design with four factors and five levels was used to optimize the extraction parameters. Ult...

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an autosomal dominant disorder presenting under general anaesthesia. It is occasionally associated with a myopathy, central core disease (CCD), named after its predominant histochemical characteristic. The penetration of CCD is variable, but typically affected individuals show delayed motor milestones in infancy and remain physically compromised. It was thought un...

A method is described for the detection of DNA hybrids formed on a solid support, based upon the pairing of oligonucleotide chemistry and the technologies of electronic microdevice design. Surface matrices have been created in which oligonucleotide probes are covalently linked to a thin SiO2 film. 32P labeled target nucleic acid is then hybridized to this probe matrix under conditions of high s...
