The pharmacokinetics of sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) in rabbits
Sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) is a pesticide widely used in New Zealand to control rabbits and possums. Very little is known about the in vivo behaviour of 1080 in target and non target species. This experiment was carried out to investigate the persistence and tissue distribution of 1080 in …

Frequency down-conversion for quantum networking with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
… be used to convert photons emitted by the NV to 1080 nm. This thesis reports the building and characterization of the system, which demonstrates exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). While not as optimal as conversion to the telecom C-band, losses at 1080 nm are significantly lower (<2 …

Statistical analysis of low level atmospheric turbulence
… of wind turbulence data measured with Model 1080 total vector anemometer and Model 1296 dual split-film probe manufactured by Thermo-Systems Incorporated have been calculated. The time series was divided into a certain number of data blocks depending on the lowest frequency of interest and …

Life History and Ecology of the Black-Footed Ferret in the Wild
… use of sodium monofluoracetate (Compound 1080) presents a threat to ferrets. It has been shown that 1080-poisoned prairie dogs can cause secondary poisoning of domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius). Also, prairie-dog eradication reduces the ferret’s food supply.

GPU acceleration of advanced K-mer counting for computational genomics
… step. We achieved 4.03x speedup using one GTX 1080 Ti with one CPU (Xeon E5-2603) thread and 5.88x speedup using one GPU with four CPU threads over KMC2 running on a single CPU thread. This speedup is significant because accelerating k-mer counting is challenging due to reasons like serialized …

A hybrid system for video compression based on H.264 and JPEG2000
… cover a range of resolutions (CIF to 1920 x 1080) and picture content. Rate-distortion performance analysis shows the two systems to be comparable. Subjective analysis reveals that the artifacts of JPEG2000 are propagated to the P-frames. This can be useful in reducing blocking artifacts at …

Quaternion-Based Human Gesture Recognition System Using Multiple Body-Worn Intertial Sensors
… sensors tied to their upper body. A total of 1080 samples were collected, which contain almost 6000 gestures collected within a span of 90 minutes. The data were processed and fed into a multiclass Pattern Classification system to classify the gestures. We trained Support Vector Machines and …

Design of Power Amplifier Test Signals with a User-Defined Multisine
… signals 524,288 data points in length require 1080 hours to complete one test of a PA model. In order to reduce the time taken to complete one test, a 'simulated test signal,' was generated. The objective of this study is to develop an algorithm to generate this 'simulated' test signal such …

An FPGA platform for demonstrating embedded vision systems
… between the FPGA and a high definition (1980 x 1080) HDMI camera, an off-chip DRAM, an FMC connector, an SD Card, and an HDMI display. The interface processing includes debayering for the camera input, arbitration for DRAM, and object annotation for the display. The platform must also handle the …

Comparing the deflection of different colored glass strips
… three-point bending test was performed at 582°C (1080°F) for strips of transparent red, clear, black, transparent blue, and white glass. The deflection of the center point of each strip of glass was measured as the temperature was held constant. A proportional relationship of deflection with time …
