<title>Model-based segmentation of individual brain structures from MRI data</title> (1992)

This paper proposes a methodology that enables an arbitrary 3-D MRI brain image-volume to be automatically segmented and classified into neuro-anatomical components using multiresolution registration and matching with a novel volumetric brain structure model (VBSM). This model contains both raster and geometric data. The raster component comprises the mean MRI volume after a set of individual volumes of normal volunteers have been transformed to a standardized brain-based coordinate space. The geometric data consists of polyhedral objects representing anatomically important structures such as cortical gyri and deep gray matter nuclei. The method consists of iteratively registering the data set to be segmented to the VBSM using deformations based on local image correlation. This segmentation process is performed hierarchically in scale-space. Each step in decreasing levels of scale refines the fit of the previous step and provides input to the next. Results from phantom and real MR data are presented.
Beyond Talking Heads: Multimedia Artifact Creation, Use, and Sharing in Distributed Meetings (2016)

Distributed meetings can be messy, particularly when the task requires collaboration around multimedia artifacts. Teams must not only share a variety of materials related to the work in real time, but also need to refer back to information after a meeting ends. While video tools make it relatively easy to have conversations at a distance, they are less adept at sharing and archiving multimedia content. We conducted a survey of and interviews with members of distributed teams to investigate how they create, use, and share multimedia content before, during, and after distributed meetings. Our findings shed light on decisions made and rationales used in selecting technologies to prepare for, conduct, and archive the results of a video-mediated distributed meeting. The results suggest a need for flexible interfaces for information sharing in multiple meeting contexts so content can be both easily referred to in the moment and also found again later.
[A study of the polymorphism of mec dna in methycillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated at permanent stations in different regions of Russia]. (2005)

Polymorphism of the chromosome staphylococcus cassette mec (SCCmec), a mobile and heterological genetic element providing resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics was studied in methycillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated at permanent stations situated in different regions of Russia. Type SCCmec was identified using the PCR method by determining allotypes of 3 different structural genetic complexes incorporated in the cassettes mec. It was found that the isolates studied in this work contained 3 different types of SCCmec: I, III, and IVb. Both isolates containing 2 different copies of SCCmec and isolates containing defective copies of SCCmec were identified. It was demonstrated that determination of the SCC-mec type provided an opportunity to differentiate the isolates studied in this work from one another. The isolates attributed to the same genotype variant (identified by polymorphism of coagulase gene) but isolated at different hospitals located in different regions of Russia were found to contain the same type of the chromosome staphylococcus cassette mec, whereas the isolates of different coagulase groups (i.e., different genotype variants) contained different types of SCCmec. It was found that at least 2 epidemic strains circulated in the permanent hospitals of Russia. The strains differ from one another by the polymorphism of the coagulase gene and the mec DNA polymorphism. According to results of studies of several molecular markers (including mec DNA), these strains proved to be identical to the international strains EMRSA-1 and EMRSA-2. Possible mechanisms of MRSA formation and circulation in Russia and CIS countries are discussed.

Association of Polymorphisms of the Estrogen Receptor α Gene With Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Risk in Women: A Meta-Analysis (2002)

The contribution of genetic polymorphisms to bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in women is a controversial topic. We evaluated the effect of the XbaI and PvuII polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor a to BMD and fracture risk in a meta-analysis, including published data and additional information from investigators. Five thousand eight hundred thirty-four women from 30 study groups were analyzed with fixed and random effects models. The PvuII polymorphism was not associated with BMD at any skeletal site examined and 95% CIs exclude effects over 0.015 g/cm2 for both the femoral neck and the lumbar spine. Conversely, XX homozygotes (women carrying two copies of the gene variant without an XbaI restriction site) consistently had higher BMD than other subjects. The magnitude of the effect was similar in the femoral neck and lumbar spine (0.014 g/cm2 [95% CI, 0.003-0.025] and 0.015 g/cm2 [95% CI, 0.000-0.030], respectively; no between-study heterogeneity for either). Total body BMD was also significantly higher in XX homozygotes (by 0.039 g/cm2 and 0.029 g/cm2 compared with Xx and xx, respectively). Available data on fractures suggested a protective effect for XX (odds ratio [OR], 0.66 [95% CI, 0.47-0.93] among 1591 women), but not PP (OR, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.72-1.18] among 2,229 women). In summary, we have found that XX homozygotes may have higher BMD and also a decreased risk of fractures when compared with carriers of the x allele, whereas the PvuII polymorphism is not associated with either BMD or fracture risk.
Joint space-frequency segmentation using balanced wavelet packet trees for least-cost image representation (1997)

We examine the question of how to choose a space varying filterbank tree representation that minimizes some additive cost function for an image. The idea is that for a particular cost function, e.g., energy compaction or quantization distortion, some tree structures perform better than others. While the wavelet tree represents a good choice for many signals, it is generally outperformed by the best tree from the library of wavelet packet frequency-selective trees. The double-tree library of bases performs better still, by allowing different wavelet packet trees over all binary spatial segments of the image. We build on this foundation and present efficient new pruning algorithms for both one- and two-dimensional (1-D and 2-D) trees that will find the best basis from a library that is many times larger than the library of the single-tree or double-tree algorithms. The augmentation of the library of bases overcomes the constrained nature of the spatial variation in the double-tree bases, and is a significant enhancement in practice. Use of these algorithms to select the least-cost expansion for images with a rate-distortion cost function gives a very effective signal adaptive compression scheme. This scheme is universal in the sense that, without assuming a model for the signal or making use of training data, it performs very well over a large class of signal types. In experiments it achieves compression rates that are competitive with the best training-based schemes.
Developmental cell interactions in <i>Myxococcus xanthus</i> and the <i>spoC</i> locus (1983)

The product(s) of the Myxococcus xanthus spoC locus is required for two multicellular activities in fruiting body development, rippling and sporulation. Ripples, which are formed early in development, are spatially separated ridges of cells that move synchronously. Myxospores are heat-resistant resting cells that are formed near the end of the developmental process. To investigate the function of spoC, it was cloned in an Escherichia coli plasmid, then transferred to M. xanthus by specialized transduction with coliphage P1. The plasmid, which cannot replicate in M. xanthus, integrated into the M. xanthus chromosome, producing two copies of the spoC locus in tandem. Cells containing one copy of a mutant allele and one copy of the wild-type allele displayed the wild-type phenotype. Cells containing two different mutant alleles failed to ripple or sporulate, implying that all four independent spoC mutations are in the same gene or unit of transcription. Homozygous mutant duplications arose from constructions in which DNA from a spo(+) donor was transduced into a spoC recipient, or vice versa, at an average frequency of 14%, indicating that gene conversion was a frequent event.

Electrodeposition of Vanadium Oxide/Manganese Oxide Hybrid Thin Films on Nanostructured Aluminum Substrates (2014)

Electrodeposition of functional coatings on aluminum electrodes in aqueous solutions often is impeded by the corrosion of aluminum. In the present work it is demonstrated that electrodeposition of vanadium, oxide films on nanostructured aluminum substrates can be achieved in acidic electrolytes employing a novel strategy in which a thin interspacing layer of manganese oxide is first electrodeposited on aluminum microrod substrates. Such deposited films, which were studied using SEM, XPS, XRD, and surface enhances Raman scattering as well as chronopotentiometry, are shown to comprise a mixture of vanadium oxidation states (i.e. IV and V). As this all-electrochemical approach circumvents the problems associated with aluminum corrosion, the approach provides new possibilities for the electrochemical coating of nanostructured Al substrates with functional layers of metal oxides. The latter significantly facilitates the development of new procedures for the manufacturing of three-dimensional aluminum based electrodes for lithium ion microbatteries. (C) The Author(s) 2014.

The CH Activation/1,3‐Diyne Strategy: Highly Selective Direct Synthesis of Diverse Bisheterocycles by Rh<sup>III</sup> Catalysis (2014)

The reactivity and selectivity of 1,3-diynes in transition-metal-catalyzed CH activation is exploited to quickly assemble diverse polysubstituted bisheterocycles, which are highly important but difficult to access. By using the CH activation/1,3-diyne strategy, we overcame the challenges of selectivity (chemo-, regio-, and mono-/diannulation) and constructed seven kinds of adjacent bisheterocycles through the formation of four strategic bonds with high efficiency and high selectivity.
Protection through multimedia CAPTCHAs (2010)

CAPTCHAS which are well known as complete automatic public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart are a modern implementation of the Turing test, which ask a series of questions of two players: a human and computer. But both of the players pretend to be human. On the bases of the answers the judge has to decide which one is human and which one is computer, but the judge itself is a computer. In this article, we review current CAPTCHAs. After analysis of all the current CAPTCHAS we propose a new 3-D AI CATCHA which has all the strengths of existing CAPTCHAS to provide a better security alternative for ecommerce.
Effects of Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs) and IGF Receptor Antibodies on the Proliferation of Human Breast Cancer Cells (1992)

It has been shown previously that MCF-7 cells proliferate in response to nanomolar concentrations of IGF-I and IGF-II. It has also been reported that the actions of both peptides are mediated through the IGF-I receptor. To further characterize these observations, we used MCF-7 and Hs578T cell lines in the serum-free/phenol red-free system developed by Ogasawara and Sibarsku, 1988. Cell proliferation was studied in the presence of insulin, IGF-I and -II and a series of growth factor receptor antibodies. No effect was observed on Hs578T cell proliferation with any of the growth factors. However, MCF-7 cells were stimulated 4-5 fold with IGF-I and insulin, while IGF-II was only slightly less potent. alpha IR3, a monoclonal antibody directed against the IGF-I receptor, was stimulatory when added alone. However, alpha IR3 blocked approximately 50% of the IGF-I response, only 5% of the insulin response, and did not block the IGF-II effect on cell proliferation. These data suggest that alpha IR3 and IGF-I are acting as agonists through the IGF-I receptor, but that insulin and IGF-II are acting through other receptors. Two different IGF-II/M-6-P receptor antibodies and an insulin receptor antibody failed to significantly block IGF-II actions. All three antibodies were stimulatory when added alone. beta-gal inhibited 27% of the IGF-II response and had no effect when added alone. Since beta-gal decreases the binding affinity of the IGF-II/M-6-P receptor for IGF-II and does not bind to the IGF-I or insulin receptor, these data suggest the possibility that IGF-II mitogenic action is mediated through the IGF-II/M-6-P receptor. In summary, these data indicate that nanomolar concentration of insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II are potent mitogens in MCF-7 cells and can potentially stimulate cell proliferation through all three receptors.
Generalized Theory of Zoomar Systems (1958)

A Zoomar is a varifocal lens system consisting of alternately fixed and movable lenses or lens groups in which all movable components are contained in one common, linearly movable barrel. The basic theory of such a Zoomar system has been illustrated in a previous paper for a three lens system.The present paper will generalize this theory to cover any Zoomar system and will also illustrate the development of the Zoomar system by selected examples of applications.
Tungsten deposition on GaAs using WF6 and atomic hydrogen (1993)

Tungsten was deposited on GaAs employing WF6 as precursor gas. A comparison is made between molecular and atomic hydrogen as reducing agent. Atomic hydrogen is produced in situ by dissociating molecular hydrogen on a hot (2100 °C) filament. Tungsten deposition was not observed only when molecular hydrogen and the substrate were available as reducing agents. Introduction of atomic hydrogen did lead to W deposition on GaAs.
The Role of PTIP in Maintaining Embryonic Stem Cell Pluripotency (2009)

Pax transactivation domain-interacting protein (PTIP) is a ubiquitously expressed, nuclear protein that is part of a histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex and is essential for embryonic development. Methylation of H3K4 is an epigenetic mark found on many critical developmental regulatory genes in embryonic stem (ES) cells and, together with H3K27 methylation, constitutes a bivalent epigenetic signature. To address the function of PTIP in ES cells, we generated ES cell lines from a floxed ptip allele and deleted PTIP function with Cre recombinase. The ptip(-/-) ES cell lines exhibited a high degree of spontaneous differentiation to trophectoderm and a loss of pluripotency. Reduced levels of Oct4 expression and H3K4 methylation were observed. Upon differentiation, ptip(-/-) embryoid bodies showed reduced levels of marker gene expression for all three primary germ layers. These results suggest that the maintenance of H3K4 methylation is essential and requires PTIP function during the in vitro propagation of pluripotent ES cells.

Cell Specific Expression of the SST2A and SST5 Somatostatin Receptors in the Rat Anterior Pituitary (1998)

Somatostatin (SRIF), originally described as a hypothalamic hormone that inhibits the release of growth hormone was subsequently shown to inhibit the secretion of multiple pituitary hormones. Five genes encoding six different SRIF receptors (sst1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4 and 5) have been cloned and mRNAs for all five are expressed in the anterior pituitary. We used double immunostaining to determine which cells in the anterior pituitary bear sst2A and sst5 receptors. Our results show that these two receptors are widely distributed in the pituitary gland and are both present in a large percentage of GH cells. In addition, sst5 occurs in a small population of corticotrophs and a large percentage of lactotrophs whereas sst2A is found in only a few lactotrophs but a large number of corticotrophs. The sst2A receptor is also expressed in about a third of the gonadotrophs and thyrotrophs. Interestingly, sst2A and sst5 receptors colocalize in a small percentage of cells, most likely somatotrophs demonstrating that the same cells can contain multiple sst receptor subtypes. These results indicate that sst subtype specific analogs are likely to be useful for the selective regulation of individual pituitary hormones.
STUDIES AND RESEARCH REGARDING SOUND REDUCTION MATERIALS WITH THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING SOUND POLLUTION (2014)

Noise can be defined as unwanted sound. There are many cases and applications that reducing noise level is of great importance. Loss of hearing is only one of the effects of continuous exposure to excessive noise levels. Noise can interfere with sleep and speech, and cause discomfort and other non-auditory effects. High level noise and vibration lead to structural failures as well as reduction in life span. The importance of noise issue could be well understood by looking at regulations that have been passed by governments to restrict noise production in society. Industrial machinery, air/surface transportation and construction activities are main contributors in noise production or "noise pollution". Noise Pollution is not only an annoyance; it is an environmental health hazard. Noise can be found anywhere that life exists, in forests, in the workplace, in homes acrossAmericaand even under water. A lot of research has been done about noise pollution in the last 40 years, but yet there is still more to learn about how to control and lessen the affects that noise has on human and animal life. Noise control is a major factor in the planning, design, and construction of transportation corridors. Architects, acoustical engineers and transportation planners are searching for creative ways to eliminate or greatly reduce noise levels. The challenge lies in attaining desired sound levels while simultaneously maintaining or enhancing the visual environment. I will be setting up an experiment to determine what kinds of materials absorb sound waves of varying frequencies most effectively.
Spatial Resolution in GNSS-R Under Coherent Scattering (2019)

Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry can be understood as a multistatic radar using satellite navigation signals as signals of opportunity. The scattered signals over sea ice, flooded areas, even under dense vegetation, and in some cases, over land show a significant coherent component. Under coherent scattering conditions, it is usually stated that the coherent signal component comes from an area equal to the first Fresnel zone. This letter analyzes in more detail the spatial resolution in this forward scattering configuration, showing that, when coherent scattering is nonnegligible, the spatial resolution is mostly determined by the geometry and not by typical surface roughness values. As the scattering area around the specular reflection point increases and encompasses the first Fresnel zone, the received power increases and then it fluctuates as higher order Fresnel zones are included (rapid phase changes due to the spherical waves). These contributions may explain in part the large scattering encountered over inhomogeneous land regions, as these different contributions add or subtract, depending on the phase of the electric field, and are weighted by different scattering coefficients (i.e., changes in the dielectric constant and/or surface roughness, such in water ponds or some agricultural fields). Finally, over homogeneous targets, when all Fresnel zones are included, the received power tends asymptotically to the value obtained using the free-space propagation with a total path length equal to the sum of the path lengths, weighted by the reflection coefficient. This value can also be interpreted as coming from an effective region that is actually ~0.6 times the first Fresnel zone.
