Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is indispensable for cardiac surgery. Since the ethical and technical difficulties associated with clinical research limit the acquisition of new knowledge, it is desirable to have a miniature extracorporeal circulation (ECC) system for small animals. We aimed to establish a miniature ECC system and apply the system to the rat for investigating systemic inflammatory response...
This paper describes a control system design methodology used to produce an experimental active stability system for a high speed railway vehicle. The complete design process is described, starting with generating mathematical models of the system for control system design and for system validation. The control strategy is briefly outlined along with the necessary refinements required for practical...
The computing needs of high energy physics experiments like the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider currently exceed the available dedicated computational resources, hence motivating a push to leverage opportunistic resources. However, access to opportunistic resources faces many obstacles, not the least of which is making available the complex software stack typically associated...
A new prototype wireless data acquisition system has been developed with the intended application to read-out instrumentation systems having thousands of channels. The data acquisition and control is based on a compliant implementation of 802.11 based hardware and protocols. Our case study is for a large detector containing photomultiplier tubes. The front-end circuitry, including a high-voltage power...
This study elucidates the vascular internal diameter response of coronary arterial circulation in closed-chest rats to evaluate endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilatory ability and to investigate disease mechanisms. For this study, we developed an X-ray intravital microscopy system using a microangiography technique and a synchrotron radiation source at SPring-8. An X-ray direct-conversion...
The objective of this paper is to make a review of the current status of the PolSARpro v2.0 software (polarimetric SAR data processing and educational toolbox), developed under contract to ESA ("Development of a Polarimetric SAR Image Analysis Tool", ESA-ESRIN Contract ndeg 17863/03/I-LG) by a consortium comprising I.E.T.R at the University of Rennes 1, DLR-HR and University of Adelaide...
