ABSTRACT: NOAA images have been provided very useful environmental information from all over the world. In order to use NOAA images, they need to be transformed from image into map. This paper proposes a method that corrects the errors caused by this transformation. First, elevation errors are calculated and corrected based on elevation values, which are read from GTOPO30 database. These elevat...

In humans, neural tube failure to close during the 4th week of gestation leads to the development of severe congenital malformations of the central nervous system because of an error in maternal folate metabolism associated gene variants. The frequency of genotypic variants of GCP II (H475Y) and folate carrier RFCI (SLC19A1) gene polymorphism (80 G →A) were evaluated as potential candidate gene...

During normal cerebellar development, the remarkable expansion of granule cell progenitors (GCPs) generates a population of granule neurons that outnumbers the total neuronal population of the cerebral cortex, and provides a model for identifying signaling pathways that may be defective in medulloblastoma. While many studies focus on identifying pathways that promote growth of GCPs, a critical ...

INTRODUCTION This article discusses the process of defining competencies and development of a best practices training course for investigators and clinical research coordinators who conduct social and behavioral research. METHODS The first project phase established recommendations for training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and was done in conjunction with representatives from 62 Clinical an...

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have recently received an increasing interest. They are now expected to be deployed for long periods of time, thus requiring software updates. Updating the software code automatically on a huge number of sensors is a challenging task, especially when all participating sensors are embedded on mobile entities. In this paper, we investigate an approach to automatical...

The clinical research industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries that exists. One cannot function in this industry in a compliant manner without knowing the regulations and the responsibilities they are expected to maintain. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is a set of guidelines for the design, performance, monitoring, recording, analysis, and reporting of clinical trials. Only by ma...

Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP II) is a therapeutic target in neurologic disorders associated with excessive activation of glutamatergic systems. The potent, orally bioavailable GCP II inhibitor 2-(3-mercaptopropyl) pentanedioic acid (2-MPPA) is effective in preclinical models of diseases where excess glutamate release is implicated, including neuropathic pain, and was the first GCP II inhi...

Cam contour fitting is greatly affected by data segmentation errors. Yet traditional methods are susceptible to noise and not able cope with of multiple curve type. Therefore, a new method proposed based on Generalized Cross Product (GCP), the arc cam taken as examples. Regarding series fragments, circular features each fragment transformed GCP norm vector mapping. Based robustness GCP, disturb...

Cultured guard cell protoplasts (GCP) of tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) comprise a novel system for investigating the cell signaling mechanisms that lead to acquired thermotolerance and thermoinhibition. At 32 degrees C in a medium containing an auxin (1-naphthaleneacetic acid [NAA]) and a cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine), GCP expand, regenerate cell walls, dedifferentiate, and divide. At 38 de...

Folding of the cortex and the persistence of radial glia (RG)-like cells called Bergmann glia (BG) are hallmarks of the mammalian cerebellum. Similar to basal RG in the embryonic neocortex, BG maintain only basal processes and continuously express neural stem cell markers. Past studies had focused on the function of BG in granule cell migration and how granule cell progenitors (GCP) regulate ce...
