The Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) architecture of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has reached a broad acceptance. However, although the core specifications reached a mature state, the integration of a cataloguing service for sensors has not yet been achieved. Previous work focused on registries that address the specifics of dynamic sensor networks, on mechanisms for handling the semantics of...

Waste building sludge (WBS) originating in the production of concrete prestressed poles (CSW) and technical stone (TSW) used original Fe-modified forms (CSWFe, TSWFe) was tested as an environmentally friendly cheap sorbent selected cations (Cd2+, Pb2+, Cs+) anions (AsO43?, PO43?, CrO42?) from water. The experiments were performed with 0.1 0.5 mmol·L?1 model solutions a batch manner at laborator...

the ion_ osmoregulation and salinity tolerance capabilities of juvenile acipenser persicus of different age and size groups with 90 fry for each treatment in freshwater (fw :< 0.5 ‰), estuary water (ew: 9.5 ‰) and the caspian sea water (csw: 12.5 ‰) were investigated. the fishes are directly transferred from fw to ew and csw. the possible repercussions of ion_osmoregulatory processes on some cl...

We determine the improvement factor cSW in one-loop lattice perturbation theory for the plaquette and Symanzik improved gauge actions. The fermionic action is O(a) clover improved with onetime stout smearing. cSW is derived from the one-loop correction to the quark-quark-gluon vertex in the off-shell regime. We give a first numerical value for the one-loop contribution to the non gauge-invarian...

Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a β galactoside-binding lectin, is implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation and allergen-challenged mice deficient in Gal-3 (Gal-3(-/-)) exhibit decreased airway recruitment of eosinophils (Eos). Gal-3 is expressed and secreted by several cell types and can thus function extracellularly and intracellularly to regulate a variety of cellular responses. We...

We derive the analog of the Cachazo-Svrček-Witten (CSW) diagrammatic Feynman rules for four dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theory coupled to a massive colored scalar. The mass term is shown to give rise to a new tower of vertices in addition to the CSW vertices for massless scalars in non-supersymmetric theories. The rules are derived directly from an action, once through a canonical transformati...

Using plaquette and Symanzik improved gauge action and stout link clover fermions we determine the improvement coefficient cSW in one-loop lattice perturbation theory from the off-shell quark-quark-gluon three-point function. In addition, we compute the coefficients needed for the most general form of quark field improvement and present the one-loop result for the critical hopping parameter κc....

Cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSW-cerebral salt wasting) was first described in 1950 by Peters. This syndrome can occur in patients who have sustained damage to the central nervous system (e.g. patients with subarachnoid bleeding, bacterial meningitis or after neurosurgery). Patients present with excessive natriuresis and hyponatremic dehydration. Differentiating this syndrome with the syndro...

Here we formulate two field redefinitions for N=4 Super Yang-Mills in light cone superspace that generates only MHV vertices in the new Lagrangian. After careful consideration of the S-matrix equivalence theorem, we see that only the canonical transformation gives the MHV Lagrangian that would correspond to the CSW expansion. Being in superspace, it is easier to analyse the equivalence theorem ...

Episodes of virus-induced exacerbations of asthma are accompanied by increased eosinophils (EOS) in respiratory secretions and evidence of EOS degranulation. Although rhinoviruses (RV) are the viruses most often implicated in exacerbations of asthma in both children and adults, little is known about the immune response to this group of viruses and, in particular, EOS-RV interactions. To define ...
