We have made a stereoscopic viewing system for a large assembly of proteins using OpenRasmol. The stable version 2.7.1 of OpenRasmol is modified for the system, which uses an eye-ware instead of trained bare-eyes. Software rendering and other benefits in OpenRasmol are reserved. A 3-D graphic board is used just for the active stereo method, not for the acceleration of rendering. Our modificatio...

Large-scale expansion of highly functional adult human mesenchymal stem cells (aMSCs) remains technologically challenging as aMSCs lose self renewal capacity and multipotency during traditional long-term culture and their quality/quantity declines with donor age and disease. Identification of culture conditions enabling prolonged expansion and rejuvenation would have dramatic impact in regenera...

In this paper, we aimed to provide Direct3D graphics features on Linux-based systems, which are actively used for various portable game platforms and mobile phone devices. Direct3D is used as one of the most important middle-wares for game and graphics applications developed on Microsoft Windows operating systems. However, this graphics library is not commonly available for other operating syst...

This paper describes a Windows NT/95 utility, the CPU Power Regulator (CPR), which improves the capability of Windows NT/95 in servicing time-critical applications. CPR considers a distance model 4] to service time-critical applications such as multimedia softwares and electronic games in a timely fashion. Distinct from the past work 7, 8, 9], CPR adopts a user-level control mechanism to manage...

We evaluate the putative introduction of the yellowfin shiner, Notropis lutipinnis, in the Little Tennessee river basin. This species has only been noted in the Little Tennessee in the past several decades and appears to be expanding its range, even though there have been many potential historical pathways for dispersal from native drainages in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. We us...

Logical theory traditionally assumes the following: (1) Logical inference is a relation between sentences (or propositions), not between thoughts (or anything cognitive). (2) The validity of an argument is only dependent on the logical structure of the sentences and independent of their meaning. In practical reasoning, however, these assumptions are not valid. In this paper I want to show that ...

Researchers in almost all disciplines of Biology use mathematical, statistical models and computer programs to analyze and validate biological data. Systematic data mining is frequently completed in recent years using Bioinformatics soft-wares. The available Bioinformatics techniques and tools help annotate functions for newly generated data in biological investigation. The book (ISBN 978-1-441...
