Different groups are involved in the MERIS vicarious activities. Most of the time, the prediction of the incoming radiance to the sensor needs radiative transfer computations. An inter comparison exercise is reported here based on radiative transfer computations with different codes applied on suitable test cases for vicarious calibration. Because the top of atmosphere signal over bright target...

Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH; EC 1.4.1.20) is an important enzyme of amino acid dehydrogenases family that increasingly used as a valuable biocatalyst in neonatal screening kits and synthesis of L-phenylalanine. The goal of this literature was to find a suitable purification method for recombinant Bacillus badius PheDH by practical comparison between chromatographic and polyvinyl pyrrolid...

A comparison of the influence style ethics in Thailand and the U.S. for managers in two life stage (age) groups, early adulthood and middle adulthood is presented. Our findings confirm that Eastern and Western cultures emphasize different influence styles. Our findings also indicate that life stage is as important as culture, and possibly more important than culture, in explaining the ethical p...

This study used the concepts of comparison credibility and magnitude credibility to assess perceived news media credibility in China. It also investigated which sources people trusted more when they encountered conflicting reports regarding different kinds of stories including entertainment news, disaster news and political news. A random sample from three major metropolises (n = 1,844) were te...

In this paper, we study the role of price correction in estimating the impact of price subsidies and anti-poverty cash transfer schemes on poverty in Tunisia. Three types of price corrections are considered: (a) no corrections; (b) living standards deflated by spatial Laspeyres price indices; (c) living standards deflated by true price indices that are estimated from a quadratic almost ideal de...

Validation and verification of plasma kinetics codes requires the development of quantitative methods and techniques for code comparisons. We describe two parameters that can be used for characterization of differences between such codes. It is shown that these parameters, which are determined from the most general results of kinetic codes, can provide important information on the differences b...

This report presents a design space mapping of common arithmetic units with a 0.13 μm CMOS process technology. A behavioural vs. structural (gate-level logic) code comparison is made on key arithmetic functions, binary modulo arithmetic is studied and a brief complexity evaluation is made.

In this present multidisciplinary work, measurements taken from source-code comparisons of practical assignments completed by students of computer programme are analysed and visually represented, and conclusions are drawn so as to gain insight into the situation and the progress of the group. This representation is compared with another one generated by conventional code metrics, and the scope ...
