EGF takes dual control of mRNA E GF coordinates the nuclear and cy t o p l a s m i c activities of an RNA-binding protein to ensure a specifi c mRNA is translated at the right time and place in neu-rons, say Tsai et al. mRNAs localize to specifi c regions within neurons, where they can be translated to quickly generate large amounts of a protein in the place where it is needed. Due to the large...

We have developed an wide-angle endoscope interface for solo surgery. The interface consists of the wide-angle endoscopic view and region of interest (ROI) view which is selected within the wide-angle view. The position of ROI could be determined by manipulating the surgical instrument with a web camera affixed. Features extracted from the web camera image by A-KAZE approach were tracked to est...

of computer music systems based on AI techniques: (1) compositional, (2) improvisational, and (3) performance systems. Representative examples of each type are briefly described. Then, we look in more detail at the problem of endowing the resulting performances with the expressiveness that characterizes human-generated music. This is one of the most challenging aspects of computer music that ha...

This thesis addresses the relations between two problems in distributed computing, the g-tight group renaming task and what we call, safe-consensus task. We show that the g-tight group renaming task implements g processes consensus by introducing an intermediate task, the safeconsensus task. We provide an implementation of g-safe-consensus from g-tight group renaming and an implementation of g-...

We examined whether stereotypes of Latinos as less warm and less competent than Whites guided perceptions of individuals in interacting work groups. Both Whites and Latinos rated Latino group members as lower in competence and warmth than White group members. This occurred in work groups with a majority of White members as well as in work groups with a majority of Latino members. The most favor...

This study examines differences between team-taught and solo-taught sections of a graduate introductory course on research and statistics in terms of student perceptions and achievement. Factor analysis of survey data confirmed three factors: comfort with research and statistics; the relationship of research and statistics to work; and interest in research and statistics. Preand post-survey and...

In NightDriving, a semi-transparent projection scrim filling the width and height of the stage brings real and virtual dancers into the same field of view. The resulting shared visual space contains two kinds of representation: a “here and now” embodiment of the dance through the live performers, and projected dance film imagery of virtual figures in counterpoint to the live dancers. This share...

The analysis shows a small significant positive overall effect of ...
