Historical Document Foreword: Richard Windeyer (1806–1847)

Pallister-Killian syndrome: historical perspective and foreword.

There have been quite some changes since I first became aware of genetics. In high school biology in 1938 we were taught that there were 48 human chromosomes just as we were at the University of Minnesota from 1938 to 1944. But in other parts of the world human chromosomes had been of interest for some time. Lionel Sharples Penrose and coworkers worked at the Royal Eastern Counties Institute fo...

FOREWORD Beyond the Historical Perspective on Hydrogen and Electron Transfers

A brief overview of proton and electron transfer history is given, and various features influencing enzymatic catalysis are discussed. Examples of generic behavior are considered, together with questions that can be addressed for both experimental and computational results. Examples of high and low pre-exponential factors A of the intrinsic rate constant kH ranging from B10 17 s 1 to B10 s 1 an...

Foreword Foreword

Historical factors mediate the effects of interspecific competition Richard

The use of population models for predicting desirable and undesirable outcomes of biological control are described using three case studies from New Zealand. The first reviews the models of Barlow and colleagues used to understand and improve the control of native grass grub Costelytra zealandica populations by augmentative application of pathogenic Serratia entomophila bacteria. A variety of m...

Text Line for Historical Document Images

In this paper we present a new approach for text line segmentation that works directly on gray-scale document images. Our algorithm constructs distance transform directly on the gray-scale images, which is used to compute two types of seams: medial seams and separating seams. A medial seam is a chain of pixels that crosses the text area of a text line and a separating seam is a path that passes...
