Impact of Controller Performance on the Process of Guiding an Armour-Piercing Missile onto a Ground-Based Target [PDF]
This work presents an analysis of guiding an anti-tank missile (ATGM) onto a ground-based target. The concept presented here is the feasibility of bypassing obstacles in the path of an ATGM when the obstacle coordinates are known prior to firing the ATGM

Impaired bone marrow homing of cytokine-activated CD34+ cells in the NOD/SCID model [PDF]
The reduced engraftment potential of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) after exposure to cytokines may be related to the impaired homing ability of actively cycling cells. We tested this hypothesis by quantifying the short-term horning of human
