fluorescent monitoring of dna amplification is the basis of real-time pcr. absolute quantification can be achieved using a standard curve method. the standard curve is constructed by amplifying known amounts of standards under identical conditions to that of the samples.the objective of the current study is to propose a mathematical model to assess the acceptability of pcr resulys.four commerci...

We have previously described a psychophysical paradigm for investigating rapid learning of relevant visual information in detection tasks (M. P. Eckstein, C. K. Abbey, B. T. Pham, & S. S. Shimozaki, 2004). This paradigm uses blocked trials with a set of possible target profiles, and it has demonstrated learning effects after a single trial. When targets are masked by Gaussian luminance noise, t...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have many sensor nodes having restricted battery, which transmit sensed data to the Base Station that requires high energy consumption. Numerous routing protocols have now been proposed in this regard getting energy efficiency in heterogeneous situations. Though, each protocol is inappropriate for heterogeneous WSNs. Efficiency of WSNs declines as varying the het...

This paper presents a parallel adaptive version of the block-based Gauss-Jordan algorithm used in numerical analysis to invert matrices. This version includes a characterization of the workload of processors and a mechanism of its adaptive folding/unfolding. The application is implemented and experimented with MARS in dedicated and non-dedicated environments. The results show that an absolute e...

An accelerator beam experiment was performed using a low-energy antiproton beam to measure the antiproton detection efficiency of the BESS detector. Measured and calculated efficiencies derived from the BESS Monte Carlo simulation based on geant/gheisha showed good agreement. With the detailed verification of the BESS simulation, results demonstrate that the relative systematic error of detecti...
