An X-ray image of a test object is converted by a X-ray TV unit (4), and complete video-signal from it is supplied to specialized computer (5). For conversion of X-ray images series X-ray vidicons LI-444 and LI-473 can be used or experimental X-ray vidicons of the same dimensions with a Be input window [2] sensitive to soft X-radiation developed in Introscopy Institute. >. ... 

Video-Enhanced Contrast. This technique is more expensive but much more effective than any other contrast-enhancing technique (15). Since the 1970s, the development of video processing of microscopical images has resulted in electronic control of contrast. As Shinya InouH, author of a classic text in the field, states "We can now see objects that are far too thin to be resolved, and extract clear images from scenes that appeared too fuzzy, too pale, or too dim, or that appeared to be nothing but noise" (16). The depth of the in-focus field can now be expanded or confined, very thin but very sharp optical sections can be produced, and a vertical succession of these images can be accumulated to reconstmct thicker stmctures in three dimensions (16). 

It is a good practice to try and predict what level of information is expected to be extracted from the data before conducting sessions relying on observation. For instance, problems posed by movement and interaction among individuals, and the inability of a video system to capture extremely detailed events, must all be considered in advance. If certain aspects of the task are videotaped, the recording process itself should be as unobtrusive as possible. The minimum requirement is that it does not get in the way. Also, some people may react negatively to being observed and recorded. For this reason, the workers should be briefed about the objectives of the observational study in advance. 

An industrial microscope with a long-working distance 20 X objective is used for the collection of the chromatic interference patterns. They are produced by the recombination of the light beams reflected at both the glass/chromium layer and lubricant/steel ball interfaces. The contact is illuminated through the objective using an episcopic microscope illuminator with a fiber optic light source. The secondary beam splitter inserted between the microscope illuminator and an eyepiece tube enables the simultaneous use of a color video camera and a fiber optic spectrometer. 

Type diagrams represent the static relationships between objects and the actions intrinsically applicable to them. Collaborations represent dynamic behavior, as when your client says, A check-out means that a customer chooses a video from the shelves, shows it to the assistant, and takes it away. You can draw the diagram shown in Figure 5.4. 

Annotate each type and collaboration with a summary of what its instances represent. Be careful to make it clear which real-world objects and events are included. For example, does a Customer include all the people we have ever sent brochures to, or is it only people we ve actually done business with Is a separate check-out deemed to have occurred for each separate video, or is a bundle of four (with one free) a single check-out ... 

One occurrence of a component operation may affect several model objects simultaneously. For example, a return puts the relevant rental into the done state and simultaneously (as we can see from Figure 5.11) sets the related Video into available. The diagram states that this occurs only for the Video whose rental is the one being returned. 

Similarly, we could model a video store as one large-grained object—an external view or we could describe internal roles and interactions, such as the store clerk, the stockkeeper, the manager, and the video system—an internal view. We illustrate two levels of action abstraction in this chapter the object granularity will be refined later, when we define the system context and user roles. 

Object types The boxes represent types of objects. There can be many Video Businesses, Video Stores, and Customers in the world. 

To show the possible sequences of constituent actions and to specifically define which sequences correspond to an abstract rent use case, we model Rental as an object that goes through a sequence of states. In the transitions, s, v, c, and d refer to a store, video copy, customer, and rental period (see Figure 14.15). Frequently, such a reified action exists in the type model as an actual object, such as a progress record. 

In this scenario, we have highlighted the commits of major transactions on the video store system these are points at which the interaction is not just with the user interface, and not just reading the business core but represent important changes to the state of business objects in the software. These will be the actions we focus on first when we specify the system s behavior. 

In the STEM (see Fig. Id) the electron beam is focused onto the sample by a condenser-objective lens, and the resulting electron probe can be moved across the sample by means of scan coils. Signals collected by various detectors positioned around the sample can be displayed on synchronously scanned video displays to build up images of the specimen, much in the same way as in the scanning electron microscope. 

Objective Can sexual advertising be related to hormonal conditions and circumstances Method Prospective field study, conducted at ten dancing-evenings including a total of 380 female probands. Data collection by questionnaire, video-tape and saliva collection,... 

Since we follow an analytical, quantitative, and open-source computational approach, our pharmaceutical product/process and project management method and software toolset are implemented as (Internet browser readable) MS-Excel spreadsheets, integrated with several hyperlinks to the rule base and to optional 2D video and 3D virtual-reality objects for visualization.
