Delta differential one-way ranging(delta-DOR) [:] For certain mission applications, especially targeting a landing site, it is also important to know the spacecraft position in the plane of the sky, which cannot be computed from the line-of-sight ranging data. Another method is needed to address this gap. This is differential one-way ranging(known as delta-DOR), a navigation capability that also benefits RS [radio science] in that the experiments data quality improves from optimizing the navigation solution. Delta-DOR is derived from the more general VLBI [very long baseline interferometric] measurements where two or more tracking stations on different continents are used to determine the position and velocity of the spacecraft in the plane of the sky. 1, record 4, English, - delta%20differential%20one%2Dway%20ranging

Human artificial chromosomes(HAC) have been considered as a possible vector for human gene therapy. In our previous work a minichromosome(MC), isolated from a patient, was transformed with a selectable marker gene(neo) which was targeted into its centromere; the MC was then size reduced, by X-ray exposure, to be easily manipulated and further engineered. The method developed for gene targeting, based on the use of chromosome specific centromeric satellite DNA as transfection carrier, is highly efficient and reproducible. 1, record 7, English, - human%20artificial%20chromosome
