At the start of this millennium, the principles of structured illumination microscopy (SIM) had been established and the concept of resolution doubling demonstrated experimentally in two dimensions. Breathtaking advances have since taken place, making SIM one of the most powerful and versatile superresolution methods available today, routinely used in the study of biochemical processes in labor...

30TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE 2004 Large and detailed asynchronous (event-based) simulation models are widely used in the planning and analysis of systems such as manufacturing, logistics, and warfare. They have been used relatively little in financial analysis, especially as compared with continuous-time models. We believe the situation will change, starting early in the 21st century. Here we describ...

Independent of its lipid-lowering properties, simvastatin (Sim) induces vasorelaxation; however, the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the vasorelaxant effects of Sim on rat superior mesenteric arteries and the mechanisms involved. The isometric tension of rat superior mesenteric arterial rings was recorded in vitro on a myograph. The r...

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is conventionally used in wireless communication systems. However, several limitations involving SIM significantly reduce public access in wireless communications. This study examined the feasibility of using public telephone cards in wireless communications. This novel application retains the merits of SIM. Among the relevent issues addressed are location t...

This article presents some results obtained partially during the first year of the TYMMI project. TYMMI’s aim is to strengthen the professional performance of pre-service teachers in the real classroom. Through the design of a free immersive virtual world Open Sim we have developed a technology readiness for 27 pre-service high school English teachers who are preparing their career at Universid...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Haverinen Expires in six months [Page 1] Internet Draft EAP SIM Authentication November 2001

With interest, we read the article by Sahebkar et al. about the proposal to treat patients with statin-induced myopathy (SIM) with curcumin in addition to the statin. We have the following comments and concerns. We do not agree with the statement in the introduction that pharmacotherapy for statin-myopathy is limited. The most effective treatment is discontinuation of the statin and adherence t...

Presently the concern over the security of mobile phones is driven by network operators wanting to stem the economic impact of losing subsidised terminals from their networks. Due to the vast price difference of products between subsidised and non-subsidised markets mobile terminals represent an attractive target to criminals. The result is that mobile terminals are under constant attack by hac...

A novel method for improving the training of some topology preserving algorithms as the Scale Invariant Feature Map (SIM) and the Maximum Likelihood Hebbian Learning Scale Invariant Map (MAX-SIM) is presented and analyzed in this study. It is called Weighted Voting Superposition (WeVoS), providing two new versions, the WeVoS-SIM and the WeVoS-MAX-SIM. The method is based on the training of an e...

The effect of high doses of vitamin E (Vit.E; 400 units/ day) on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and regression of small intestinal metaplasia (SIM) was studied in a 1-year double-blind intervention trial. Biochemical and morphological parameters were estimated in 14 evaluable SIM patients of 18 in the Vit.E group and in 16 of 18 intestinal metaplasia patients enrolled in control group (...
