In multi-resolution data handling, a less detailed structure is often derived from a more detailed one by amalgamating elements which are indistinguishable at the lower level of detail. This gathering together of indistinguishable elements is called a granulation of the more detailed structure. When handling spatial data at several levels of detail the gran-ulation of graphs is an important top...

Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation method for simultaneous amplitude, time delay, and data demodu-lation in direct sequence spread spectrum communication is proposed. The likelihood function is analytically intractable, so we consider a recursive estimation algorithm. The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm has found increasing use in similar problems, however, for this case it is analytica...

Methotrexate-3H was accumulated in vitro against a con centration gradient by the rabbit choroid plexus. This accumu lation was energy dependent, inhibited by metabolic inhibitors, and exhibited self-saturation and competitive inhibition. Several folie acid analogs with a 4-amino group were inhibitors of this accumulation, while folie and folinic acid, compounds which do not contain a 4-amino g...

The effect of the antineoplastic agent c/s-diamminedichloroplatinum(ll) (c/s-DDP) on spontaneous cytotoxicity of human mononuclear cells in vitro was assessed. c/s-DDP enhanced spontaneous monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity 300% compared to control values. Further, this spontaneous monocyte killing developed earlier (3 to 4 days) than did that of untreated cells (5 to 7 days). Since monocyte cytoto...

Kalfa et al.: Genome Medicine 2009, 1:81 Abstract Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) of the ovary belong to the group of ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors and represent 5 to 10% of ovarian malignancies. GCTs exhibit several morphological, biochemical and hormonal features of normal proliferating preovulatory granulosa cells, such as estrogen biosynthesis. Prognostic factors of this condition are lackin...

lation of five neo-clerodane diterpenoid alkaloids from the aerial parts of Scutellaria barbata. As part of our continuing work to discover more novel neo-clerodane diterpenoids, we have re-investigated the aerial parts of this species and isolated the previously isolated scutebarbatine B (6), scutebarbatine D (7) and scutebarbatine F (8), together with five new neo-clerodane diterpenoid alkalo...

The aim of this work is to assist designing of robust circuits to minimize the amount of defective circuits and therefore to increase the yield of production. The Fraunhofer ITWM considers electronic circuits at system level using its EDA software Analog Insydes, which allows analysis and symbolic approx ima tion of nominal analog circuits. The software now has been extended to handle parameter...

The Fortuin-Kasteleyn mapping between the Ising model and the site-bond correlated perco-lation model is shown to be only one of an infinite class of exact mappings. These new cluster representations are a result of " renormalized " percolation rules correlated to entire blocks of spins. For example these rules allow for percolation on " virtual " bonds between spins not present in the underlyi...
