Thus, over time, the conceptions of affect and emotions have changed from those of individual “traits”, to aspects

to lightwave. It uses a returnable-time design in which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a selforganizing, hierarchical-master-slave configuration synchronizes local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio. The servers can also redistribute reference time via

of the target gene relative to some reference group The two most commonly used methods to analyze data from real-time, quantitative PCR experiments are absolute quantifica-such as an untreated control or a sample at time zero tion and relative quantification. Absolute quantification deter- in a

in comparison to a reference gene transcript. Therefore, a new mathematical model is presented. The relative expression ratio is calculated only from the real-time PCR efficiencies and the crossing point deviation of an unknown sample versus a control. This model needs no calibration curve. Control levels were

Parallel discrete event simulation (PDES), sometimes I called distributed simulation, refers to the execution of a single discrete event simulation program on a parallel computer. PDES has attracted a considerable amount of interest in recent years. From a pragmatic standpoint, this interest arises

Abstract This paper aims to present a review of recent as well as classic image registration methods. Image registration is the process of overlaying images (two or more) of the same scene taken at different times, from different viewpoints, and/or by different sensors. The registration

Some times the lights are shining on me. Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip its been. Grateful Dead In 1989 when the first edition of the book was completed, my sons David and Greg were 3 and 1, and the cover picture showed the Dow Jones at 2650. The last
