In this paper, the sparse sensor placement problem for least-squares estimation is considered, and previous novel approach of selection algorithm extended. The maximization determinant matrix which appears in pseudo-inverse operations employed as an objective function present extended approach. procedure corresponding proved to be mathematically same that previously proposed QR method when number sensors less than state variables (undersampling). On other hand, authors have developed a new...

A vector-measurement-sensor problem for the least squares estimation is considered, by extending a previous novel approach in this letter. An extension of selection greedy algorithm proposed and applied to particle-image-velocimetry data reconstruct full state based on information given sparse vector-measurement sensors.

To investigate the relationship between intracranial arterial wall enhancement and atherosclerosis.Intracranial vertebral arteries of 30 patients carotid 62 were studied with spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging contrast spatial presaturation. Arterial was graded as follows: stage 1, no substantial enhancement; 2, faint or thin area 3, definite thick enhancement.In arteries, 3 seen in 11 (mean age, 73.7 years) 1 eight 56.4 years). In 13 71.0 21 39.0 both well correlated age (P <...

The authors describe a computerized method to quantify and characterize interstitial diseases by using physical texture measures obtained from an analysis of the power spectrum lung textures in digital chest radiographs. They compared these standard radiographs International Labour Office (ILO) classification scheme ILO categories for small opacities pneumoconioses. Their preliminary results indicate that this computer correspond closely with categories.

The distribution of mannosamine, mannosaminuronic acid, and the enzymes responsible for formation these saccharides was studied in nine species (18 strains) Bacillus. Whereas UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase activity detected all strains examined, UDP-N-acetylmannosamine dehydrogenase, as well incorporating N-acetylmannosaminuronic acid residues from UDP-N-acetylmannosaminuronic into polymer, found only four B. megaterium one strain each subtilis polymyxa. cell walls prepared six...

The niobium-carbon system has been investigated by melting point measurements, X-ray analyses and microscopic examinations. An equilibrium diagram up to 63.5 atomic percent carbon was constructed as shown in Fig. 2. limit of solubility niobium (α) phase lies at about 2 2000°C it decreases abruptly the temperature decreases. Nb2C (β) a very narrow range homogeneity NbC (γ) exists wide composition from 41 50 arbon below 1400°C. Three non-variant reactions this were determined follows.(Remark:...

In this study, a nondominated-solution-based multi-objective greedy method is proposed and applied to sensor selection problem based on the multiple indices of optimal design experiments. The simultaneously considers set functions applies idea Pareto ranking for sets. Specifically, new index iteratively added nondominated solutions sets, are evaluated selected from examined solutions, next sets then considered. With procedure, optimization can be conducted with reasonable computational...

The crystal symmetry of the reaction product hydrogen with intermetallic compound Mg2Ni has been determined to be tetragonal unit cell dimensions: a=6.533 AA and c=7.499 AA, by in situ X-ray diffractometry at about 623K under 4.6 MPa pressure. resultant hydride phase transforms 503K an orthorhombic structure lattice a=11.394 b=11.196 c=9.165 AA. This transition is polymorphic type as evident from well defined exothermic (endothermic) peak pressure-differential scanning calorimetry curves...

To investigate the suppressive effect of a newly synthesized compound, 2-amino-3-cyano-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-methylpyrrole (NS-8), on micturition, and its mode sites action in rats.Female rats were anaesthetized with urethane, isovolumetric bladder contractions cystometrograms recorded. The pelvic afferent discharges from also monitored.In cystometric study, NS-8 increased capacity without affecting maximum contraction pressure, an unlike that currently used anticholinergic drugs for...

We examined the relationship between growth arrest of smooth muscle cells and structural changes in microfilament bundles, also that actions contractile agonist using a multipassagable variant cell line (SM-3) derived from rabbit aortic cells. The content type alpha-actin increased with density-dependent SM-3 cells, but was attenuated logarithmically growing cultures. As assessed cytochemically, growth-arrested contained longitudinally oriented bundles actin-containing myosin-based filaments...

From lysozyme digests of N-acetylated cell walls Bacillus cereus AHU 1030, two acidic polymer fractions with molecular weights about 24000 and 45000 were isolated by ion-exchange chromatography gel chromatography. These fractions, containing glycerol, phosphorus glucose in a molar ratio 1.00:1.00:0.85 together small amounts glycopeptide components mannosamine, characterized as teichoic-acid-glycopeptide complexes one teichoic acid chains made 60-65 repeating glycerol phosphate units that...

Heart size is an important and useful diagnostic parameter in chest radiographs. However, there a large variation the subjective judgment of cardiac enlargement (cardiomegaly). To reduce this element, authors are developing automated system for quantitative analysis heart digital Four hundred radiographs were reviewed initially by two radiologists classified into groups: those with without cardiomegaly. Another radiologist 47 images which not consistently initial review. The used these to...

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the loss of cholinergic neurons in nucleus basalis Meynert and a primary memory function. Since staurosporine has been reported to induce differentiation human neuroblastoma cells vitro, we studied effects on amnesia induced basal forebrain-lesion rats. Staurosporine (0.05 0.1 mg/kg intraperitoneal) attenuated impaired performance water maze passive avoidance tasks, even though drug administration began 2 weeks after lesion. Moreover, (0.1 mg/kg)...
