This paper describes an ongoing project to digitally record, reconstruct and repaint a 2000-year-old painted Roman statue from Herculaneum, Italy. The paper considers the archaeological potential for extremely detailed laser scanning and digital recreation of Roman statuary, and visualisation within a physically accurate context. It focuses on the archaeological significance of the emerging tec...

Photographers often wish to control the depth of field. In particular, for portrait photography, a shallow depth of field can have dramatic effects on the composition and the feel of the picture. For example, a shallow depth of field can help direct attention to the subject by blurring out objects too close or too far from the camera, such as distracting objects or faces. Also, focusing on an o...

Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) are commercially harvested in large numbers in Minnesota for sale to biological supply companies and the pet trade. We investigated the possible effects of this harvest by comparing size, demography, and catch rates of painted turtles in 12 harvested and 10 nonharvested painted turtle populations in 2001 and 2002. We correlated turtle catch rates to harvest sta...

PURPOSE The modification of therapeutic dendritic cells (DC) with various immunostimulatory molecules represents a useful means for improving the antitumor efficacy of DC transfer-based immunotherapy. We have evaluated the feasibility of modifying therapeutic DCs with multiple immunostimulatory molecules using a time-efficient, protein transfer (or protein "painting")-based method. EXPERIMENT...
