Renewed interest is being directed toward chemoprevention as a means of reducing cancer mortality. I'o overcome the inherent problems asso ciated with using cancer development as a study end point, there has recently been a great surge of interest in defining the biomarkers asso ciated with specific stages of the carcinogenic process as intermediate end points. We have detailed the evidence sup...

A popular technique for rendition of isosurfaces in sampled data is to consider cells with sample points as corners and approximate the isosurface in each cell by one or more polygons whose vertices are obtained by interpolation of the sample data. That is, each polygon vertex is a point on a cell edge, between two adjacent sample points, where the function is estimated to equal the desired thr...

In this paper, we classify the finite generalized quadrangles of order (s, t), s, t > 1, which have a line L of elation points, with the additional property that there is a line M not meeting L for which {L , M} is regular. This is a first fundamental step towards the classification of those generalized quadrangles having a line of elation points.

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

Within the scope of the "HRSC on Mars Express" mission the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation creates software for the automatic extraction of homologous image primitives from HRSC image data. With the obtained tie points a bundle block adjustment will be carried out with software developed at the Technical University of Munich which will result in an improved exterior orientation o...

We present a novel structure determination approach that exploits the global orientational restraints from RDCs to resolve ambiguous NOE assignments. Unlike traditional approaches that bootstrap the initial fold from ambiguous NOE assignments, we start by using RDCs to compute accurate secondary structure element (SSE) backbones at the beginning of structure calculation. Our structure determina...
