Improving Tree Crown Mapping using Airborne LiDAR with Genetic Algorithms
… These mapping efforts use individual tree crown (ITC) recognition algorithms applied to LiDAR point clouds, which have complex parameter sets. Genetic algorithms (GA) have been demonstrated to be excellent function optimizers for very complex search spaces and perform well for parameter tuning. …

Distributed power generation and energy storage : potential effects of extending tax incentives
… tax program known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The ITC program has been extended in recent years, and is currently set to expire in the early 2020s. This work conducts scenario analysis to evaluate the effects extending the ITC will have on the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) as opposed to …

Endogenous Technological Change in Strategies for Mitigating Climate Change
… Fortschritts (induced technological change, ITC) auf die Kosten von Klimaschutz. Ein deutliches politisches Signal ist Vorraussetzung dafür, zusätzlichen technologischen Fortschritt auszulösen. Die Literatur zu internationalen Umweltabkommen zeigt jedoch , dass die Aussicht auf eine global …

Tightly coupled neutronics and thermal-hydraulics using open-source software
… approach called “the Integrated Tight Coupling (ITC) method”. The mathematical equations in the nuclear fuel are rearranged to be integrated via a novel concept of group temperature. In addition, the data from the neutron cross section library can be used directly. The ITC method is implemented …

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry Uncovers Substrate Promiscuity of Bicupin Oxalate Oxidase
… Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measures heat changes that occur during a reaction. Therefore, ITC can measure reaction rates where both the substrates and products are spectrophotometrically silent and when the reaction products are unknown. In this work, we apply the …

Categorical representation of visual stimuli in the primate prefrontal and inferior temporal cortices
… in the prefrontal (PFC) and inferior temporal (ITC) cortices during task performance. This allowed the neuronal representation of category membership and stimulus shape to be independently examined. In the first experiment, monkeys were trained to classify the set of morphed stimuli into two …

The Cocaine-Binding Aptamer: A Thermodynamic and Structural Overview of Specific and Non-Specific Binding Interactions
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) studies were conducted wherein variances in the heat capacity of binding (Cp) among variants of the cocaine-binding aptamer were suggestive of two distinct binding mechanisms. Aptamer variants containing 6 base pairs in stem 1 are pre-folded and show little …

Assessing PGDA entrance requirements: Appropriate or in need of change?
… Town (UCT) as well as UCT's lowered placement in ITC pass rate rankings – an assessment on PGDA's current entrance requirements could provide insight into a way-forward. The objective of this study is to evaluate endogenous factors that affect student performance in PGDA and ITC, namely race, …

Enabling fast flexible planning through incremental temporal reasoning
… thesis provides a fast incremental algorithm, ITC, for determining the temporal consistency of temporally flexible plans. Additionally, the temporal reasoning capability of ITC is able to return the conflict or the nature of the inconsistency to the planner, such that the planner can resolve …

Calorimetric studies of small-molecule adsorption to carbon nanotubes
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was developed as a technique for qualitatively comparing the heat of absorption of small molecules to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In agreement with other studies, it was shown that polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can achieve a greater degree …

Investigating MCE Chemical Library Drugs for Combinational Therapies for Clinical Aspergillus fumigatus isolates
… such as voriconazole (VRC), itraconazole (ITC), and posaconazole (POS) with a reserve of Amphotericin B (AmB). In the past two decades, the emergence of resistance to azoles has contributed to a 90% mortality rate in resistant cases globally. In this report, we investigated the MedChem …

An economic examination of 'less than fair value' pricing by Japanese producers in the new cellular mobile telephone market
… filed with the International Trade Commission (ITC) by Motorola along with two other U.S. manufacturers of cellular mobile telephones (CMTs), General Electric and E.F. Johnson. These firms claimed their Japanese counterparts were selling or would likely be selling the new phone products at 'less …

Herbicide Mediated Selection of Sulfonamide Resistant E. coli
… bacteria, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to assess the binding affinity of asulam with the target protein of sulfas, dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). ITC confirmed asulam interacts with DHPS, and in vitro directed evolution experiments showed that prolonged asulam exposure …
