using silhouette object drawings, high target–foil resemblance, and both yes–no and forced-choice procedures. Theoretically, forced-choice recognition could be mediated by familiarity alone. Alzheimer’s disease and its preclinical stage, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), were associated with memory

a feature vector corresponding to a patch can be reconstructed by its neighbors in the feature space. Besides using the training image pairs to estimate the high-resolution embedding, we also enforce local compatibility and smoothness constraints between patches in the target high-resolution image

Carbon stripper foils produced by the modified controlled ACDC arc discharge method (mCADAD) at the Institute for Nuclear Study have been tested and used for high current 800-MeV beam production in the Proton Storage Ring (PSR) since 1993. Two foils approximately 110 mg/cm2 each are sandwiched

increases the production rate, which is directly proportional to the primary proton flux, but also increases the power deposition inside the target. Therefore, the internal structure of high-power refractory metal-foil targets for the future EURISOL facility has to be carefully optimized to improve

In the paper, the development of high-speed industrial turbo blowers with foil air bearings is presented as a first successful commercialization in the world. Their target market is various from wastewater treatment to cement factory processes which require compressed air ranging between 0.6 and 0

Environmental regulations for engine emissions are becoming increasingly stringent. The use of brazed exhaust gas recirculation coolers (EGRC) is considered to be an effective approach to reduce NOx emissions in order to meet the current and future EU, JP and US emissions targets. EGRC’s are made

policy framework similar to implicit flexible inflation targeting, with a hybrid reaction function, seemingly taking into account the forward-looking aspect of inflation. Third, the PBC’s behaviour post-2002 resembles that of the post-1979 anti-inflation policy of the G3 central banks, albeit with a high

Among whites, participation in Head Start is associated with a significantly increased probability of completing high school and attending college, and we find some evidence of elevated earnings in one's early twenties.

Proton and ion acceleration using high-intensity lasers is a field of rapidly growing in-terest. For possible applications of proton beams produced in laser-solid interactions, the generation of beams with controllable parameters such as energy spectrum, brightness, and spatial profile is crucial

Abstract: An acoustically transparent chamber (hat minimally altered lithotripter SW’s was constructed to house targets (Al foils or vials of kidney epi[helial cells) under pressure (0-95 atm). Cells exhibited Iytic injury and foils sustained pitting at atmospheric pressure, but high pressure (-95
