On Multi-image Reconstruction from Historic Photographs

The ultimate purpose of this work is to reconstruct photogrammetrically a distinguished building in the centre of Athens, which has been torn down years ago. Five old photographs were available taken apparently with the same camera, the nominal calibration parameters of which could be somehow ‘guessed’. As a first step, it was decided to employ our own bundle-adjustment software, which works wi...

Laboratory Examinations Correlated with Severity of Dementia * MINORU OISHI

Acetylcholine esterase, al-antichymotrypsin, homovanillic acid (HVA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylenglycol (MHPG), norepinephrine, dopa­ mine, 5-hydroxy-indolacetic acid (5-HIAA), and 7-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were quantified. Posi­ tive wave with the latency about 300 msec (P300) and electroencephalog­ raphy (EEG) were examined in 10 patients with Alzh...
