Focusing Bistatic FMCW SAR Signal by Range Migration Algorithm Based on Fresnel Approximation.

Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technique has recently been employed by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to decrease the radar cost and volume. However, the operation range is limited by the direct energy leakage from the transmitting channel to receiving channel due to the operation principle of FMCW technique. Bistatic configuration is an efficient way to increase the isolation between the transmitter and receiver, which could significantly increase the radar standoff range.

A comparison of face-to-face versus remote assessment of neonatal resuscitation skills.

The neonatal resuscitation skills of 30 third-year medical students were assessed in real time by a face-to-face examiner in the same room as the student, and by a remote examiner located in a separate room using the ANAKIN system. The ANAKIN system combines an instrumented manikin simulator, computer-based assessment and high-bandwidth videoconferencing. The students were assessed while performing a neonatal resuscitation megacode using the ANAKIN system.

Evaluation of the effect of a computerized training simulator (ANAKIN) on the retention of neonatal resuscitation skills.

Background: Neonatal resuscitation knowledge and skills deteriorate after initial training.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a computerized simulator system (ANAKIN) as a means for boosting neonatal resuscitation knowledge, skills, and self-reported confidence beliefs.

Method: A randomized pretest-posttest control group study design involving 60 3rd-year medical students.
