Fetch

These tests generate several Gigabytes of data that are fed into a historical database. Although most of the analysis is performed automatically, human interaction is still needed to compare current and past data. Data are stored on optical CD S s from which the historical data bank are retrieved during field inspections from a mobile unit. Each of these is equipped with a CD-jukebox linked to an analysis station. The jukebox can handle 100 CD s, enough to store all previously recorded data. A dedicated software pre-fetches the historical data and compares it on-line with the newly acquired NDT-data. It is based on fuzzy algorithms applied to signal features. 

The selection and sequence of tubes to be inspected are known at the start of a measurement campaign. After a tube has been measured, the reference is transmitted to the pre-fetching module. This latest can, through an anticipation window, copies a certain number of records on the hard disk.

Although in the past calcium crown has been priced up to 8.95/kg, in the 1990s calcium has been priced as low as 5.00/kg by traders selling non-Westem supply. Depending on the amount of processing involved, alloys and particulates may fetch prices in the range of 7—15/kg for large quantities. 

On a vector computer having vector registers that hold 64 floating-point numbers, this loop would be processed 64 elements at a time. The first 64 elements of Y would be fetched from memory and stored in a vector register. Each iteration of the loop is independent of the previous iteration, so this loop can be fliUy pipelined, with successive iterations started every clock cycle. Once the pipeline is filled, the result, X, will be produced one element per clock cycle and will be stored in another vector register. The results in the vector register will then be stored back into main memory or used as input to a subsequent vector operation. 

The philosophy of RISC is that the CPU performs a very small number of very simple operations. Whereas a CISC-based computer might have an iastmction that fetches a number from memory and updates a counter, a RISC system implements such an operation with multiple, but simple, iastmctions. By keeping the CPU simple, it can be more readily scaled up to ever greater speeds. The idea is that, although it might execute many more iastmctions than a CISC machine, it can perform its simple iastmctions so much faster that it gets more work done ia a given time period. 

Mott played a major part, with his collaborator Frank Nabarro (b. 1917) and in consultation with Orowan, in working out the dynamics of dislocations in stressed crystals. A particularly important early paper was by Mott and Nabarro (1941), on the flow stress of a crystal hardened by solid solution or a coherent precipitate, followed by other key papers by Koehler (1941) and by Seitz and Read (1941). Nabarro has published a lively sequential account of their collaboration in the early days (Nabarro 1980). Nabarro originated many of the important concepts in dislocation theory, such as the idea that the contribution of grain boundaries to the flow stress is inversely proportional to the square root of the grain diameter, which was later experimentally confirmed by Norman Fetch and Eric Hall. 

Another engineer arrived after another five or ten minutes. He fetched the process supervisor and then entered the vessel. He also collapsed. The supervisor ealled the plant fire service. Before they arrived the third man recovered sufficiently to be able to climb out of the vessel. The second man was rescued and recovered, but the first man died. It is believed that an hour or two before the incident, somebody opened the nitrogen valve leading to the vessel and then closed it. 

It would not be too far fetched to state that life on this planet is totally dependent on two compounds based on the purine nucleus. Two of the bases crucial to the function of DNA and flNA—guanine and adenine—are in fact substituted purines. It is thus paradoxical that the lead for the development of medicinal agents based on this nucleus actually came from observations of the biologic activity of plant alkaloids containing that heterocyclic system, rather than from basic biochemistry.

Wave size is determined by wind speed and fetch, the distance over the oceans surface which the wind travels. Favorable wind energy sites are generally western coastlines facing the open ocean such as the Pacific Coast of North America and the Atlantic Coast of Northern Europe. Norway, Denmark, Japan, and the United Kingdom are the world leaders in wave energy technologies. 

The hypothesis that our biological world built on the DNA-RNA-protein central dogma was preceded by an RNA world in which RNA molecules carried both the genetic information and executed the gene functions (through ribozyme activity) is now widely accepted [130]. However, it is also well recognized that RNA due to its vulnerability to hydrolysis - especially as a result of catalysis by divalent metal ions - would not have been able to evolve in a harsh pre-biotic environment Also the formation of RNA under presumed pre-biotic conditions is extremely inefficient It is not so far-fetched to propose that a peptide nucleic acid-like molecule may have been able to function as a form of pre-biotic genetic material since it... 

For each of the generated value pairs (SOURCE, LOCAL TERM) an UltraLink can now be created and the substitution rules can be applied. To construct the contextual menu, the UltraLink component will fetch the title to display in the Web Interface as well as the URL to link to from the Metastore. It will then apply a set of substitution rules such as, for example ... 

Example on Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha. The term tumor necrosis factor alpha can be readily identified from text. The GetLinks method fetches the local terms associated with the normalized term for the various sources from the Metastore. The local terms are then used for pointing to the original records and linking to specific applications (Table 31.5). 

What if instruments could be designed which were remoteiy self-calibrating with respect to calibration services of a National Metrology Institute (NMI) While this may sound very far-fetched , it is not difficult to speculate that future application of telemetry, transducers, intrinsic standards, detectors and computers will link some instruments directly to a NMI to obviate their need for RMs (Rasberry 1998).

What is certain is that the wool clip has very little value to the farmer at the moment. In the case of many breeds, the fleece fetches less than the cost of shearing. It is to be hoped that those sheep farmers who become organic will eventually receive extra for their wool. 

Also in the 17th century John Evelyn wrote in his Herbal, "If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark and berries were fully known, I cannot tell what our countryman could all for which he might not fetch a remedy from every hedge, either for sickness or wounds." Evelyn also claimed that elder would help assist longevity and was effective "against all infirmities, whatever."...
