OBJECTIVE Motexafin lutetium (Lu-Tex, Antrin Injection) is a photosensitizer that selectively accumulates in atheromatous plaque where it can be activated by far-red light. The localization and retention of intra-arterially administered Lu-Tex and its efficacy following activation by endovascularly delivered light (photoangioplasty) was evaluated. METHODS Bilateral iliac artery lesions were i...

This paper presents a methodology for investigating the functionality of objects in manipulatory tasks. Functionality is deened as the applicability of an object for the fullllment of a particular purpose. The description of an interaction for investigating the functionality of an object is described using a formalism based on Discrete Event System Theory and the Active Perception paradigm. The...
