Pulsed plasmas use much higher power during each pulse compared to continuously operated plasmas.
"Active sniffing using the bioinspired inlet clearly extends the aerodynamic reach of the detector inlet, enabling odorant acquisition over a much larger distance compared with continuously drawing in air," they write.
Compared to Continuously Adaptive Mean-Shift (CAM-Shift), standard particle filter (PF), Velocity-Adaptive Particle Filter (VAPF), and Memory-based Particle Filter (M-PF), the proposed tracker was superior for objects moving with large random velocities and accelerations.
Furthermore, Inmates on intermittent ART and never-on ART lost 1.60; 95%CI (1.06, 2.13) and 1.97; 95%CI (0.96, 3.00) more CD4 cells per month, respectively, compared to continuously treated inmates.
The difference (95% CI) in the adjusted rate of change in the intermittently treated inmates as compared to continuously treated inmates was −1.60 (−1.06, −1.06), resulting in the intermittent ART group inmates lost CD4 cells at an average adjusted rate of 0.93 cells per month.
The difference (95% CI) in the adjusted rate of change in the never on ART inmates as compared to continuously treated inmates was −1.97 (−0.96, −0.96), so that the never-treated inmates lost CD4 cells at an average adjusted rate of 1.29 cells per month.
We compared the continuously scored secondary outcome measures using the linear regression approach to analysis of covariance, with baseline scores and intervention group entered as independent variables.
To assess the effect of laser scanning, we compared a continuously imaged optic lobe (scanned every 30 min for approximately 15 min) with an unscanned control optic lobe of the same brain ex vivo.
