Circadian rhythms in mammals are regulated not only globally by the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), but also locally by widely distributed populations of clock cells in the brain and periphery that control tissue-specific rhythmic outputs. Here we show that the oval nucleus of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST-OV) exhibits a robust circadian rhythm in expression o...

Background: Cancer antigen CA125 is known as a valuable marker for the management of ovarian cancer. Methods: The analytical and clinical performance of the Access OV Monitor Immunoassay System (Beckman Coulter) was evaluated at five different European sites and compared with a reference system, defined as CA125 on the Elecsys System (Roche Diagnostics). Results: Total imprecision (%CV) of the ...

Downsampling and upsampling are widely used in image display, compression, and progressive transmission. In this paper we examine new down/upsampling methods using frequency response analysis and experimental evaluation. We consider six classes of filters for down/upsampling: decimation/duplication, bilinear interpolation, least-squares filters, orthogonal wavelets, biorthogonal wavelets, and a...

For a square integrable vector-valued process f on the Loeb product space, it is shown that vector orthogonality is almost equivalent to componentwise scalar orthogonality. Various characterizations of almost sure uncorrelatedness for f are presented. The process f is also related to multilinear forms on the target Hilbert space. Finally, a general structure result for f involving the biorthogo...

AIMS To analyse the distribution of OV-TL 3 and MOv18 in normal ovarian tissue to determine which antibody is most suitable for (radio)immunotherapy of ovarian carcinoma. METHODS The distribution of OV-TL 3 and MOv18 was determined using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. RESULTS Epithelial and other cells in many tissues, and leucocytes in peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen sta...

In applications, it is well known that high smoothness, small support and high vanishing moments are the three most important properties of a biorthogonal wavelet. In this paper, we shall investigate the mutual relations among these three properties. A characterization of Lp (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) smoothness of multivariate refinable functions is presented. It is well known that there is a close relation ...

Starting from any two given multiresolution analyses of L2, fV 1 j gj 2Z, and fV 2 j gj 2Z, we construct biorthogonal wavelet bases that are associated with this chosen pair of multiresolutions. Thus, our construction method takes a point of view opposite to the one of Cohen–Daubechies–Feauveau (CDF), which starts from a well-chosen pair of biorthogonal discrete filters. In our construction, th...
