In this paper, we deal with the problem of exploiting baseline diversity of a multichannel interferometric SAR system to overcome the layover problem. The problem arises when different height contributions collapse in the same range-azimuth resolution cell, due to the presence of strong terrain slopes or discontinuities in the sensed scene. The multilook framework is adopted to counteract the pres

The pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacokinetics (PK) and metabolism of the sulphonylurea(SU) and its metabolites (M1 and M2) , and of another SU, glipizide (Gz) were studied in diabetes patients and healthy volunteers. In one study Caucasians and Chinese were compared. Sensitive and selective methods for determination of drug levels and concentrations of insulin and proinsulin were used. The terminal

Popular Abstract in English Plants harvest sunlight to fix air carbon dioxide into a form which is the fundamental source of energy for other organisms such as animals. The domestication of crop plants and traditional breeding practices has resulted in increased yield and nutritional value of crops. This comes at a cost of loss in genetic variability that is required by living organisms to adapt tPotato is one of the major food crops and its yield is severely affected by late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans has the ability to manipulate plant defence signalling by secreting effector molecules causing so called effector triggered susceptibility. Some plants can recognize these effectors via resistance proteins that reactivate plant defence and lead to effector

Makasae is a non-Austronesian / Papuan language spoken by a population of some 70,000 in the newly independent state of East Timor.

Makasae is largely isolating in structure, and its grammar has in man

Syftet med denna artikel är att beskriva några ledstjärnor för en kreativitetsfrämjande lärandemiljö och exemplifiera hur dessa har tillämpats på en universitetskurs i psykologi. Åtta betydelsefulla aspekter - framvaskade från forskningslitteraturen - introduceras som en utgångspunkt för lärare att arbeta med, nämligen 1) att skapa ett öppet klimat, 2) flexibilitet i struktur, metod och attityd, 3

This development has given rise to a new

The Golden Age and the music of the guitar’s predecessor, the vihuela, is here approached from the perspective of the performing musician. Apart from Luis Milán’s El maestro also the collections of other leading musicians and composers are presented. A discussion of performance practice, notations and vihuela tunings based on thorough studies of first hand sources is coupled with rich examples fr
