Leaf maturation from initiation to senescence is a phenological event of plants that results from the influences of temperature and water availability on physiological activities during a life cycle. Detection of newly grown leaves (NGL) is therefore useful for the diagnosis of tree growth, tree stress, and even climatic change. This paper applies Constrained Energy Minimization (CEM), which is...

Long-term depression (LTD) reduces the functional strength of excitatory synapses through mechanisms that include the removal of AMPA glutamate receptors from the postsynaptic membrane. LTD induction is also known to result in structural changes at excitatory synapses, including the shrinkage of dendritic spines. Synaptic adhesion molecules are thought to contribute to the development, function...

OBJECTIVE To reveal possible differences in whole brain topology of epileptic glioma patients, being low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. We studied functional networks in these patients and compared them to those in epilepsy patients with non-glial lesions (NGL) and healthy controls. Finally, we related network characteristics to seizure frequency and cognitive performa...

In a recent paper (8), we have provided evidence that reactivity of anti-Candida albicans monoclonal antibodies to neoglycolipids (NGL) constructed from C. albicans mannan acid-labile oligomannosides (NGLH) and corresponding to homopolymers of P(1-2)-linked mannopyranosyl units (4, 7) was correlated with reactivity against a 14to 18-kDa C. albicans antigen. Conversely, monoclonal antibodies rea...

A method of detecting lead was developed using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with DNA-carbon nanotube paste electrode (CNTPE). The results indicated a sensitive oxidation peak current of lead on the DNA-CNTPE. The curves were obtained within a concentration range of 50 ngL(-1)-20 mgL(-1) with preconcentration time of 100, 200, and 400 sec at the concentration of mgL(-1), μgL(...

Brain wiring depends on cells making highly localized and selective connections through surface protein-protein interactions, including those between NetrinGs and NetrinG ligands (NGLs). The NetrinGs are members of the structurally uncharacterized netrin family. We present a comprehensive crystallographic analysis comprising NetrinG1-NGL1 and NetrinG2-NGL2 complexes, unliganded NetrinG2 and NGL...

Fringe projection systems have been widely applied in three-dimensional (3D) shape measurements. One of the important issues is how to retrieve the absolute phase. This paper presents a modified gray-level coding method for absolute phase retrieval. Specifically, two groups of fringe patterns are projected onto the measured objects, including three phase-shift patterns for the wrapped phase, an...

Current data on crude oil, field/lease condensate, and natural gas liquids produced from NGL plants. Updated a monthly basis.

Abstract: It’s well known the natural gradient learning (NGL) ([1]) may avoid global optima or phenomena of plateau in the training process since it takes into consideration the intrinsic geometric structure of the parameter space. But, natural gradient ([1]) is itself induced by Fisher information matrix (FIM) ([2]) defined on the 1-form tangent space ([3]), therefore calculation of relevant F...

Introduction. Neglect (NGL) is an intriguing brain lesion syndrome, which manifests with the failure to respond to stimuli of the contralesional side. Usually it occurs after right hemisphere lesion. It is proposed that NGL is deficit of the spatial attention, which is provided by the the function of bilateral intraparietal sulcus (IPS), frontal eye field (FEF), lateral occipital complex (V5/MT...
