The Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) was launched on January 23, 2009, to monitor global atmospheric levels of CO2 and CH4 from space. GOSAT started initial operation its instruments after an satellite system check. Although the radiant data obtained by are currently in preliminary stages calibration validation, spectral absorption features clearly identifiable. An retrieval these gaseous concentrations performed for measurement scenes cloud-free conditions over land. These...

A new power supply which suppresses harmonic currents is proposed. The circuit made up by inserting a choke coil and transformer winding between the bridge rectifier input capacitor of an ordinary input-type supply. characteristics use like switch (a magnetic switch), has function to improve factor suppress currents. As this MS only one (MOSFET) control circuit, whole simple, inexpensive, meets IEC 1000-3-2 Class D standards concerning switching supplies.

The present study investigates whether VIMS, which can be induced in 2D images, is affected by stereoscopic presentation. To do this, we conducted an experiment to measure the effects psychologically and physiologically. Visual stimulus was computer graphics that simulates traveling along streets with additional pitch roll motion for 10 minutes. were presented as either stereoscopic, "3D", images or "2D" images. Before/after during each trial, psychological physiological measurements...

The authors describe speech segmentation and clustering algorithms based on speaker features, where speakers, the number of context are unknown. Several problems formulated their solutions proposed. As in simpler case, when segmentations known, output probability algorithm is In case unknown segmentation, an ergodic HMM (hidden Markov model)-based technique applicable. Both cases evaluated using simulated multispeaker dialogue data.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
