4991   FORCAST: the first light instrument for SOFIA FORCAST: the first light instrument for SOFIA Joseph D. Adams    0 FORCAST has been selected to be the "first light" U.S. science instrument aboard SOFIA. FORCAST will offer dual channel imaging in discrete filters at 5 - 25 microns and 30 - 40 microns, with diffraction-limited imaging at wavelengths > 15 microns. FORCAST will have a plate scale of 0.75 arcsec per pixel, giving it a 3.2 arcmin x 3.2 arcmin FOV on SOFIA. We give a status update on FORCAST, including filter configuration for SOFIA's early science phase; anticipated in-flight performance; SOFIA... 查看全文

4992   House prices and mortgage market liberalisation in Australia House prices and mortgage market liberalisation in Australia David M Williams Y    0 Financial liberalisation and innovation (FLIB) in Australia over the 1980s and 1990s provided the institutional backdrop for one of the most rapid increases in household balance sheets and house prices in the world. An error correction model of quarterly Australian house prices for 1972-2006 identi…es the key long run drivers as real non-property income per house, the working age population proportion, the unemployment rate, two government policy changes, real and nominal interest rates and FLIB 查看全文

4993   THE IMPACT OF INVESTMENT STRATEGY ON THE MARKET VALUE AND PRICING DECISIONS OF A PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURER THE IMPACT OF INVESTMENT STRATEGY ON THE MARKET VALUE AND PRICING DECISIONS OF A PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURER Trent R. Vaughn    0 This paper examines the impact of investment strategy on the market value and pricing decisions of a property/casualty insurance company. Section 2 utilizes classic financial theory to demonstrate the irrelevance of investment policy in perfect capital and product markets. Sections 3 through 6 illustrate four possible sources of investment policy relevance: imperfect information in property/casualty (P/C) insurance product markets, guaranty funds, conflicts of interest between shareholders and c 查看全文

Nikam,*† John J. Cordon,‡ Daniel F. Ortwine,† Tycho H. Heimbach,§ Anthony C. Blackburn,§ Mar    1999 PNQX (1,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-9-methyl-6-nitropyrido[3,4-f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione) is a potent AMPA (IC50 = 0.063 μM) and GlyN (IC50 = 0.37 μM) receptor antagonist that was developed in our laboratories. While possessing a desirable in vitro and in vivo activity profile, this compound suffers from low aqueous solubility. In an effort to improve its potency and physical properties, we have designed and synthesized novel ring-opened analogues 4, 6, 9, and 11. Modeling analyses demonstrated that, w... 查看全文

4996   Analysis of Cocaine, Benzoylecgonine, Codeine, and Morphine in Hair by Supercritical Fluid Extraction with Carbon Dioxide Modified with Methanol Analysis of Cocaine, Benzoylecgonine, Codeine, and Morphine in Hair by Supercritical Fluid Extraction with Carbon Dioxide Modified with Methanol William E. Brewer,†§ Randolph C. Galipo,‡ Kristen W. Sellers,‡ and Stephen L. Morgan*‡    2001 Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using CO2 modified with methanol (10%) was employed for the extraction of cocaine from human hair. Extraction conditions were developed by using designed experiments to characterize the effects of pressure, temperature, and percent methanol on the recovery of cocaine from hair. When compared to the conventional acid hydrolysis method for hair analysis, SFE was faster and gave higher recoveries. Amounts of cocaine, benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite), codeine... 查看全文

4997   The optical design of the Southern African Large Telescope high resolution spectrograph: SALT HRS The optical design of the Southern African Large Telescope high resolution spectrograph: SALT HRS S. I. Barnes    0 SALT HRS is a fiber-fed cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph designed for high resolution and high efficiency seeing-limited spectroscopy on the Southern African Large Telescope. The spectrograph, which has a dual channel white pupil design, uses a single R4 echelle grating, a dichroic beam-splitter, and volume phase holographic gratings as cross-dispersers. The echelle grating has 41.6 grooves/mm and is illuminated with a 200mm diameter beam. This allows R = 16,000 with a 2.2" fiber and complet... 查看全文

5003   Personal authentication using palmprint with phase congruency feature extraction method Personal authentication using palmprint with phase congruency feature extraction method    2011 Palmprint recognition is a biometric method to automatically identify a person's identity. In this paper, phase congruency method is proposed to extract features from a palm-print image for authentication. The phase congruency is one of the promising methods to analyse the image as it is invariant to image contrast and therefore can extract reliable features under varying illumination conditions. In this paper, the phase congruency features in 6 different orientations are arranged in such a mann... 查看全文

McDiarmid, Robert M. Merion, Dawn M. Dykstra;Ann M. Harper    2007 The Pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score was developed as a measure of the severity of chronic liver disease that would predict mortality or children awaiting liver transplant. From multivariate analyses a model was derived that included five objective factors which together comprise the PELD score. The factors are growth failure, age less than 1 year, international normalized ratio (INR), serum albumin and total bilirubin. 查看全文

5006   A fast and accurate face authentication method using hamming-trace transform. combination A fast and accurate face authentication method using hamming-trace transform. combination    2010 Face authentication, also called face verification, is used to confirm the identity of a person by classifying the person as either the person he or she claims to be or not. For face authentication, the user generally provides a user name (and in some cases a password as well) to an authentication system that allows access to an area or system. Stored models associated with the provided username are used to verify the person′s identity and then allow or deny access. This paper proposes a f... 查看全文
