Optic cup morphogenesis (OCM) generates the basic structure of the vertebrate eye. Although it is commonly depicted as a series of epithelial sheet folding events, this does not represent an empirically supported model. Here, we combine four-dimensional imaging with custom cell tracking software and photoactivatable fluorophore labeling to determine the cellular dynamics underlying OCM in zebra...

The synthesis of selected state-of-the-art catalysts providing high performances in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) with O2 was reproduced according to the respective methods reported in literature. A reference material with identical stochiometric composition was further synthesized by applying the cellulose templating (CT) method. This method increases the surface area and affects the...

One major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is the deposition of extracellular senile plaques and vessel wall deposits composed of amyloid-beta (Aβ). In AD, degeneration of neurons is preceded by the formation of Aβ plaques, which show different morphological forms. Most of them are birefringent owing to the parallel arrangement of amyloid fibrils. Here,...

ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause (OCM) among patients with prostate cancer that initiated treatment in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), between 2002 2010, Brazil. Methods: Retrospective observational study used National Oncological Database, which was developed by record-linkage techniques to integrate data from SUS Information Systems, n...

The Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) over M-Na-Mn/SiO2 catalysts (M=W, Cr, Nb and V) was investigated using a continuous-flow quartz reactor at 775°C, 1 atm and 100 cm3min-1 gas flow rates, and correlated with the observed structure and redox properties.The interaction effects of the metal-metal and metal-support on the...

The OMIS project aims at deening a standard interface between tools for parallel systems and monitoring systems. Monitors act as mediators between tools and the parallel program running on some target architecture. Their task is to observe and manipulate the program according to the tool's commands. A standardized interface will allow diierent research groups to develop tools which can be used ...

The reuse of components increases the need to document the components in a standard way, because proper documentation assists a buyer to assess the credibility and maturity of a component and validate the functional and quality properties of a component. This document provides a general template for documenting software components in a standard way whereby the component buyer and developer view...

We present a method for correcting coherence gate curvature caused by scanning-induced path length variations in spectral-domain high-NA optical coherence imaging systems. These variations cause curvature artifacts in optical coherence tomography and effectively restrict the field of view in optical coherence microscopy (OCM). Here we show that the coherence gate curvature can be measured and c...

We present a novel extended-focus optical coherence microscope (OCM) attaining 0.7 μm axial and 0.4 μm lateral resolution maintained over a depth of 40 μm, while preserving the advantages of Fourier domain OCM. Our system uses an ultra-broad spectrum from a supercontinuum laser source. As the spectrum spans from near-infrared to visible wavelengths (240 nm in bandwidth), we call the system visO...

Recent advances in integrated photonics enable the implementation of reconfigurable, high-bandwidth, and low energy-per-bit interconnects next-generation data centers. We propose evaluate an Optically Connected Memory (OCM) architecture that disaggregates main memory from computation nodes OCM is based on micro-ring resonators (MRRs), it does not require any modification to DRAM modules. calcul...
