Distribution Probability

The article is devoted to the development of searching and covering task in different areas, for example, for extinguishing fires, during search operations in the air, on the ground, etc. Two probabilistic models were created based on the characteristics of the sensors and the search zone, that is, the probability density of the target position and the conditional probability of detecting the target by the sensor under the conditions that the target is at the point of observation (depending on the distance between the sensor and the point of observation). Based on these models, the parameters and the search procedure were analyzed; more precisely, the relationship and formulas between the target detection probability, the search time and other parameters were found. The main difference of the proposed research lies in the fact that by optimizing the obtained relations and formulas it is possible to obtain an optimal distribution of time in the search process, as a result, to increase the probability of target detection. In the research process, at first, the case where the distribution probability of target position in the search area represents a discrete form (network map) is investigated, then a formula for the probability of target detection in a discrete and continuous probe is obtained. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers and dynamic programming, the optimal distribution of search time in each cell was obtained. Further, according to the result obtained, the study was expanded to a continuous distribution probability of target position in the search area, the functional probability of detecting the target of search time, probability density of target and the search trajectory (velocity) was derivated. As a result of solving this functional, for a given search time and probability density distribution of target, optimal control (trajectory and speed) was obtained. The simulation confirmed the efficiency of the proposed search method. The simulation result shows that the greater the probability density of target and the slower the agent’s movement speed, the greater the probability of target detection, for some values of the search parameters, the difference in probabilities of target detection reaches 75.3 %.

Our current understanding of mitochondrial ultrastructure has been derived primarily from thin sections using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This information has been extrapolated into three dimensions by artist's impressions (1) or serial sectioning techniques in combination with computer processing (2). The resolution of serial reconstruction methods is limited by section thickness whereas artist's impressions have obvious disadvantages.In contrast, the new techniques of HRSEM used in this study (3) offer the opportunity to view simultaneously both the internal and external structure of mitochondria directly in three dimensions and in detail.The tridimensional ultrastructure of mitochondria from rat hepatocytes, retinal (retinal pigment epithelium), renal (proximal convoluted tubule) and adrenal cortex cells were studied by HRSEM. The specimens were prepared by aldehyde-osmium fixation in combination with freeze cleavage followed by partial extraction of cytosol with a weak solution of osmium tetroxide (4). The specimens were examined with a Hitachi S-570 scanning electron microscope, resolution better than 30 nm, where the secondary electron detector is located in the column directly above the specimen inserted within the objective lens.

Mammalian spindles are generally large and may contain over a thousand microtubules (MTs). For this reason they are difficult to reconstruct in three dimensions and many researchers have chosen to study the smaller and simpler spindles of lower eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the mammalian spindle is used for many experimental studies and it would be useful to know its detailed structure.We have been using serial cross sections and computer reconstruction methods to analyze MT distributions in mitotic spindles of PtK cells, a mammalian tissue culture line. Images from EM negatives are digtized on a light box by a Dage MTI video camera containing a black and white Saticon tube. The signal is digitized by a Parallax 1280 graphics device in a MicroVax III computer. Microtubules are digitized at a magnification such that each is 10-12 pixels in diameter.
