X-ray small angle scattering. A new deconvolution method for evaluating electron density distributions from small angle scattering diagrams.

Abstract

The direct determination of the electron density distributions of multilayered specimens with a small number of unit cells from X-ray small angle scattering experiments via the Q-function method of Hosemann and Bagchi includes the deconvolution of the so-called Q(o)-function, the generalized Patterson function of one unit cell. In this paper a new and direct deconvolution method on the basis of Fourier series is presented which is suitable for one-dimensional centrosymmetrical (or antisymmetrical) density distributions. A FORTRAN-program has been written which has an execution time of ca. 20 s on an UNIVAC 1106-computer. The procedure has been successfully tested on some convolution functions generated by membrane-type electron density distributions.

Evaluation of sites for the location of WEEE recycling plants in Spain.

As a consequence of new European legal regulations for treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), recycling plants have to be installed in Spain. In this context, this contribution describes a method for ranking of Spanish municipalities according to their appropriateness for the installation of these plants. In order to rank the alternatives, the discrete multi-criteria decision method PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organisation METHod for Enrichment Evaluations), combined with a surveys of experts, is applied. As existing plants are located in North and East Spain, a significant concentration of top ranking municipalities can be observed in South and Central Spain. The method does not present an optimal structure of the future recycling system, but provides a selection of good alternatives for potential locations of recycling plants.

Overview of informatics for high content screening.

With the growing use of high content screening (HCS) and analysis in drug discovery and systems biology, informatics has come to the forefront as a critical technology to effectively utilize the massive volumes of high content data and images being generated. Informatics technologies are required to transform HCS data and images into useful information and then into knowledge to drive decision making in an efficient and cost effective manner. In this chapter, we provide an overview of informatics tools and technologies for HCS, discuss some of the challenges of harnessing the huge and growing volumes of HCS data, and provide insight to help toward implementing or selecting, and utilizing a high content informatics solution to meet your organization's needs.
