Measurement of Free Radicals and their Effects on Human Spermatozoa

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We presented data on the role of free radicals in human spermatozoa, particularly in the context of centrifugation.Methods were developed to directly measure intracellular free radicals in human sperm and the effects of exogenously applied free radicals on sperm function were established. The role of brief and prolonged centrifugation and the associated generation of free radicals was also investigated.In the first part of the study, we established flow cytometry as a reliable tool for directly measuring intracellular free radicals in human spermatozoa. In the second part of the study the effects of centrifugation on free radical generation in sperm was investigated. The effects of exogenously administered free radicals on sperm function were investigated in the third part of the study. In this study, novel techniques have been developed to successfully measure free radicals in human spermatozoa. We recommend that cognisance should be taken of the potentially adverse effects of both… [detailed...]

Measurement of Nontariff Barriers (Studies in International Economics)

1999 y.
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
Description: As tariffs on imports of manufactures have been reduced as a result of multi-lateral trade negotiations, interest in the extent to which existing nontariff barriers may distort and restrict international trade is growing. Accurate and reliable measures are needed in order to address the issues involving the use and impacts of nontariff barriers. This study assesses currently available methods for quantifying such barriers and makes recommendations as to those methods that can be most effectively employed. The authors focus both on the conceptual issues arising in the measurement of the different types of nontariff barriers and on the applied research that has been carried out in studies prepared by country members of the OECD Pilot Group and others seeking to quantify the barriers. Nontariff barriers include quotas, variable levies, voluntary export restraints, government procurement regulations, domestic subsidies, and antidumping and countervailing duty measures….

Measurement, Control, and Communication Using IEEE 1588 (Advances in Industrial Control)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A common sense of time among all the elements of a distributed measurement and control system allows the use of new techniques for the solution of problems with complex synchronization requirements or arising from the interaction of many sensors and actuators. Such a common sense of time may be accomplished using IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems (IEEE 1588-2002) to synchronize real-time clocks incorporated within each component of the system. IEEE 1588, published in November 2002, is a technology new to the engineering community expanding the performance capabilities of Ethernet networks so that they become relevant for measurement and control, this monograph embodies the first unified treatment of the associated technology, standards and applications. Readers unfamiliar with IEEE 1588 will gain understanding of the context of the technology it represents and, from three chapters of case studies, its role in a… [detailed...]

Measurements, Modelling and Simulation of Dynamic Systems

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book discusses an analog-to-digital system intended to dynamic measurement, particularly for non-electrical quantities. The construction and properties of measurement sensors are analyzed in detail, as these represent the primary components for all measurement systems. Procedures for signal noise reduction are presented based on the time window function and a digital Kalman filter. Also covered in this book are the methods of modeling, model development and identification procedures on the basis of measurement data. The theory of maximum errors is applied in order to determine mapping errors of models in case of non-standard input signals. This is based on signals maximizing the chosen error functional. The existence and attainability of such signals is proved and the algorithms for their determination are presented. Detailed calculation methods, based on dedicated numerical procedures are demonstrated, which allow the integral-square error as well as the absolute error to be… [detailed...]

Measures of Possibility: Emily Dickinson`s Manuscripts

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDebates about editorial proprieties have been at the center of Emily Dickinson scholarship since the 1981 publication of the two-volume `Manuscript Books of Emily Dickinson,` edited by Ralph W. Franklin. Many critics have since investigated the possibility that autograph poems might have primacy over their printed versions, and it has been suggested that to read Dickinson in any standard typographic edition is effectively to read her in translation, at one remove from her actual practices. More specifically, it has been claimed that line arrangements, the shape of words and letters, and the particular angle of dashes are all potentially integral to any given poem?s meaning, making a graphic contribution to its contents. In `Measures of Possibility,` Domhnall Mitchell sets out to test the hypothesis of Dickinson?s textual radicalism, and its consequences for readers, students, and teachers, by looking closely at features such as spacing, the physical… [detailed...]

Measuring Business Cycles in Economic Time Series (Lecture Notes in Statistics (Springer-Verlag), 154)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The book centers on the problem of measuring business cycles in economic time series. Business cycle assessment is crucial to monitoring the economy, as well as to the conduct of macroeconomic policy, but decades of research have shown that the modellingof economic cycles is a frustrating issue. As a consequence, the estimation of actual business cycles relies on relatively simple filters that remove from the series the long-term trend. Over the last decade there has been a convergence towards the use of a filter suggested by Hodrick and Prescott (HP). The present paradigm, in actual practice, is to estimate the cycle with the HP filter applied to X11-seasonally adjusted series. The procedure has been the subject of academic criticism that has pointed out the risk of obtaining spurious cycles, mostly associated with the empirical and fixed nature of the filter. The filter also is known to present some serious drawbacks such as unstable estimation for recent years so that concurrent… [detailed...]

Measuring Design Effort in Product Development

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The development of a product is a complex process which requires a large amount of resources and various types of expertise. In order to remain competitive, companies must manage this process effectively and efficiently. The fundamental concerns of a project manager are to determine a projects duration, effort, and cost. To accurately estimate these factors would resolve many problems related to forecasting, scheduling, bidding and reputation. Design effort estimation is a primefactor in the prediction of these factors. Early prediction of design effort must be estimated as early as possible in order to properly predict lead time, cost and allocation of resources throughout the product development process. In this book, a method for design estimation is presented and implemented through a case study in a leading global aircraft engine manufacturer. [detailed...]

Description: With the healthcare sector accounting for a sizeable proportion of national expenditures, the pursuit of efficiency has become a central objective of policymakers within most health systems. However, the analysis and measurement of efficiency is a complex undertaking, not least due to the multiple objectives of health care organizations and the many gaps in information systems. In response to this complexity, research in organizational efficiency analysis has flourished. This book examines some of the most important techniques currently available to measure the efficiency of systems and organizations, including data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis, and also presents some promising new methodological approaches. Such techniques offer the prospect of many new and fruitful insights into health care performance. Nevertheless, they also pose many practical and methodological challenges. This is a timely critical assessment of the strengths and limitations of… [detailed...]

Measuring Globalisation: Gauging Its Consequences

Description: During the last few decades, human dynamics, institutional change, political relations, and the natural environment have become successively more intertwined. While the increased global economic integration, global forms of governance, globally inter-linkd social and environmental developments are often referred to as “globalisation,” there is no unanimously-agreed upon definition of the term. Depending on the researcher or commentator, it can mean, among other things, the growing integration of markets ad nation-states, receding geographical constraints on social and cultural arrangements, the increased dissemination of ideas and technologies, the threat to national sovereignty by trans-national actors, or the transformation of the economic, political an cultural foundations of societies. Regardless of perspective, globalisation permeates our economic, political, and social institutions to a profound degree. Recently, the issue of “sustainability” has reached the mainstream: are the… [detailed...]

Measuring Heaven: Pythagoras And His Influence on Thought And Art in Antiquity And the Middle Ages

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Surviving fragments of information about Pythagoras (born ca. 570 BCE) gave rise to a growing set of legends about this famous sage and his followers, whose reputations throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages have never before been studied systematically. This book is the first to examine the unified concepts of harmony, proportion, form, and order that were attributed to Pythagoras in the millennium after his death and the important developments to which they led in art, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, music, medicine, morals, religion, law, alchemy, and the occult sciences. In this profusely illustrated book, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier sets out the panorama of Pythagoras`s influence and that of Christian and Jewish thinkers who followed his ideas in the Greek, Roman, early Christian, and medieval worlds. In illuminating this tradition of thought, Joost-Gaugier shows how the influence of Pythagoreanism was far broader than is usually realized, and that it affected the… [detailed...]

Measuring Information Technology Investment Payoff: Contemporary Approaches (Series in Information Technology Management)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: It would seem that business investment in information technology (IT) is at root no different from business investment in anything else. After a careful consideration of the costs of the investment and its anticipated benefits, a decision is made as to whether the benefits of the investment outstrip the costs and by how much. If the benefits are competitive with other investment alternatives (say, a major marketing campaign), then the business will commit financial resources to the IT proposal. Otherwiseit won`t. This decision making process is at the heart of capital budgeting. Senior executives have been making IT investment decisions for well over three decades. So why is the measurement of IT investment payoff so difficult and controversial? Why do we need a book dealing with contemporary approaches to measuring IT investment payoff? Why have earlier approaches to measuring IT investment payoff proven unsatisfactory? In what respects have earlier approaches fallen short? Do we… [detailed...]
