In this paper, the Morphological Skeleton Interpolation (MSI) algorithm is presented. It is an eecient shape-based interpolation method used for interpolating slices between successive slices of a 3-D object. It is based on the well known mathematical morphology procedure of morphological skeletonization, that is used as a representation of an object. The proposed morphological skeleton matchin...

The dehydration parameters (temperature, thickness, and mass load) statistically significantly (p<0.05) affect the thin-layer convective of potato slices. slices with thicknesses 3, 5, 8 mm were dehydrated as monolayers at different temperatures (30, 50, 70 °C) load (1.00, 0.63, 0.38 kg m-2). results showed that shortest time (183 minutes), smallest energy consumption (0.176 kWh), emission c...

Reelin is a positional signal for the lamination of the dentate gyrus. In the reeler mutant lacking Reelin, granule cells are scattered all over the dentate gyrus. We have recently shown that the reeler phenotype of the dentate gyrus can be rescued in vitro by coculturing reeler hippocampal slices with slices from wild-type hippocampus. Here we studied whether Reelin from other brain regions ca...

Fog computing, combined with traditional cloud offers an inherently distributed infrastructure – referred to as the cloud-to-edge continuum that can be used for execution of low-latency and location-aware IoT services. The management such is complex: resources in multiple domains need accessed by several tenants, while adequate level isolation performance has guaranteed. This paper proposes dyn...

These studies tested the hypothesis that estradiol facilitates norepinephrine (NE) neurotransmission by modulating LY*adrenoceptor-mediated inhibition of NE release. KCI-induced overflow of 3H from superfused slices preloaded with 3H-NE was Ca2+ dependent. Hypothalamic slices from estradiol-treated rats exposed to a single KCI pulse (Sl ) had modestly (20%) but significantly elevated NE release...

A microfluidic-based biochip made of poly-(dimethylsiloxane) was recently reported for the first time by us for the incubation of precision-cut liver slices (PCLS). In this system, PCLS are continuously exposed to flow, to keep the incubation environment stable over time. Slice behavior in the biochip was compared with that of slices incubated in well plates, and verified for 24 h. The goal of ...

While dependency analysis is foundational to much program analysis, many techniques have limited scalability and handle only monolingual systems. We present a novel technique that aims approximate from relatively small number of perturbed executions. Our technique, MOAD (Modeling Observation-based Approximate Dependency), reformulates as the likelihood one element dependent on another (instead ...

background: the purpose of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) as root end fi lling materials. materials and methods: a total of 40 root dentin slices (1 ± 0.2 mm) were prepared from freshly extracted human maxillary central teeth and their lumens were enlarged to 1.3 mm. the slices were randomly divided int...

this study investigated the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc), tragacanth, and saalab hydrocolloids in two concentrations (0.3 and 0.7%) and different frying media (refined canola oil (rco), rco+1% bene kernel oil (bko), and rco+1 mg l-1 unsaponifiable matter (usm) of bko on acrylamide formation in fried potato slices. the hydrocolloid coatings significantly reduced acrylamide formation i...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a precious and reliable research tool broadly used in archaeology because of its capacity to produce three-dimensional data about features preserved underground, such as buildings, infrastructures, burials, well building rubble. GPR (time-slices) management exploitation Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mostly limited the visualization manual interpretation ...
