sunglasses A stack-ring configuration is proposed for designing a dual-band circularly polarized (CP) antenna.Each ring generates different resonant frequencies.A good CP performance at both resonant frequencies is achieved by adjusting the relative distance between the two rings.The two operating bands are separated with a small frequency ratio of

MAGIC Granola project: Marine Geohazard along the Italian Coasts MAGIC Project is funded by the Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC) to produce a bathymetric database as reference for compiling maps (1:50.000) of marine geo-hazard.During its 5-year life span (2007-2012), MAGIC will allow the acquisition of high-resolution multibeam bathymetry

Abstract Surface registration is a one of the crucial and actual problems of computer aided surgery.This paper presents the modification of the non-rigid Iterative Closest Point Algorithm which takes into account an anisotropic noise model and landmarks as guided correspondence at the transformation step in every Grill Brushes iteration.The present

Abstract Several observational studies have found a link between the long-term use of benzodiazepines and dementia, which remains controversial.Our study was designed to assess (i) whether the long-term use of benzodiazepines, at two different doses, has an irreversible effect on cognition, (ii) and whether there is an age-dependent effect.One hund

Genomic, proteomic, epigenomic, Sectionals and other "omic" data have the potential to enable precision medicine, also commonly referred to as personalized medicine.The volume and complexity of omic data are rapidly overwhelming human cognitive capacity, requiring innovative approaches to translate such data into patient care.Here, we outline a con
