This paper proposes a wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) product quality prediction method, called MTF-CLSTM, to integrate the Markov transition field (MTF) and convolutional long short-term memory (CLSTM) neural network. The proposed MTF-CLSTM method can accurately predict WEDM workpiece surface roughness right after manufacturing by collecting analyzing static parameters dynamic condi...

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect residual astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes after trifocal intraocular lens implantation. Methods In prospective observational study, we divided 156 eyes into two groups according measured by subjective optometry and followed them up for 3 months. Visual acuity, modulation transfer function (MTF) curves, Strehl ratio (SR), Funct...

The fermentation and isolation of 1 were carried out in the same way as reported previously1}. Astock culture of the producing organism was inoculated into a test tube (i.d. 2x20cm) containing 10ml of seed medium consisting of2% glucose, 0.5% peptone, 0.3% dry yeast, 0.5% meat extract, 0.5% NaCl and 0.3% CaCO3 (pH 7.0 before sterilization). The tube was incubated at 27°C for 72 hours on a recip...

Recent studies have investigated the use of anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (IL-10) to control the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in sepsis by down-regulation of monocyte tissue factor (MTF) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the initial phase of the disease. In vitro and in vivo human studies have shown that a minimal (<1 h) delay in IL-10 treatment ...

The zinc finger transcription factor MTF-1 is essential for proper response to heavy metal load and other stress conditions in vertebrates, and also contributes to the maintenance of the cellular redox state. Target genes include metallothioneins (MT-I and MT-II) and gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), an enzyme involved in glutathione biosynthesis. Although MTF-1 is expressed ubiqui...

A simple variant of the edge method to determine the presampled modulation transfer function (MTF) of digital imaging detectors has been developed that produces sufficiently accurate MTF values for frequencies up to the Nyquist frequency limit of the detector with only a small amount of effort for alignment and computing. An oversampled edge spread function (ESF) is generated from the image of ...

The specific formylation of initiator methionyl-tRNA by methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (MTF; EC 2.1.2.9) is important for the initiation of protein synthesis in eubacteria and in eukaryotic organelles. The determinants for formylation in the tRNA are clustered mostly in the acceptor stem. As part of studies on the molecular mechanism of recognition of the initiator tRNA by MTF, we report here...

The modulation transfer function (MTF) is widely used as the image quality criterion of choice for imaging applications where fine detail in extended images needs to be specified or evaluated. We present a parametric analysis of the effect of scattered light upon the MTF of an imaging system and illustrate the results for three specific applications: (1) a visible Newtonian telescope with moder...

A neutral mononuclear Fe(II) complex with spin crossover (SCO) properties, Fe2(SCN)2 (1) (L = 2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline), was solvothermally synthesized. It displays a new example of two-step SCO with Tc1↓ = 250 K, Tc1↑ = 260 K and Tc2 = 295 K.
