Vista is a software environment supporting the modular implementation and execution of computer vision algorithms. Because it is extensible, portable, and freely available, Vista is an appropriate medium for the exchange of standard implementations of algorithms. This paper, an overview of Vista, describes its file format, its data abstraction, its conventions for UNIX filter programs and libra...

UNLABELLED With the ubiquitous generation of complete genome assemblies for a variety of species, efficient tools for whole-genome alignment along with user-friendly visualization are critically important. Our VISTA family of tools for comparative genomics, based on algorithms for pairwise and multiple alignments of genomic sequences and whole-genome assemblies, has become one of the standard t...

V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is a potent negative regulator of T-cell function that is expressed on hematopoietic cells. VISTA levels are heightened within the tumor microenvironment, in which its blockade can enhance antitumor immune responses in mice. In humans, blockade of the related programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway has shown great potential in clinical immunoth...

ViSta – the Visual Statistics System – is an open, extensible and freely distributed system for teaching introductory and multivariate statistics and for research and development in visual and computational statistics. ViSta features state-of-the art statistical visualization techniques for visually guiding novice data analysts; for visualizing the overall structure of the data analysis session...

Substantial efficacy has been demonstrated with bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone in phase III studies in transplant-ineligible myeloma patients using various twice-weekly and once-weekly bortezomib dosing schedules. In VISTA, the regimen comprised four 6-week twice-weekly cycles, plus five 6-week once-weekly cycles. In the GIMEMA MM-03-05 study, the bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone regimen was ei...

New Urbanism refers to a form of development that integrates shopping and housing in a pedestrian friendly environment that reduces the need for automobile usage and arguably impacts individual choices regarding commuting and other daily travel. New Urbanism is an increasingly “hot topic” in heavily congested regions, such as Los Angeles, where the wider, often meandering, tree-lined walkways N...

OBJECTIVE To compare the image quality of volume isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition (VISTA) imaging method with that of the three-dimensional (3D) isotropic fast field echo (FFE) imaging method applied for ankle joint imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR imaging of the ankles of 10 healthy volunteers was performed with VISTA and 3D FFE sequences by using a 3.0 T machine. Two radiologists retr...

ViSta is a project that focuses on dynamic and interactive graphics for statistics and was initiated by the late Forrest W. Young at the beginning of the 1990s. For over approximately 20 years, Forrest and other collaborators, including the authors of this article, have used ViSta for experimenting with these kinds of graphics in different settings, applying them to different scenarios of data ...

The primary goal of most OSs (Operating Systems) is the efficient use of computer systems software and hardware resources. Since Windows OSs are most widely used OS for personal computers, they need to satisfy needs of all different kind of computer systems users. In comparison with Windows XP, new versions of the Windows OS; namely Windows Vista and Windows 7, introduce a number of new feature...
