Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) enables the local, energy-resolved investigation of a samples surface density of states (DOS) by measuring the differential conductance (dI/dV) being approximately proportional to the DOS. It is popular to examine the electronic structure of elementary samples by acquiring dI/dV maps under constant current conditions. Here we demonstrate the intricacy of ST...

Cadmium is a rule based programming language for compiling solver independent constraint models to various solver dependent back-ends. Cadmium is based on a hybrid between Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) and term rewriting modulo Associativity, Commutativity and a restricted form of Distributivity (ACD) called Conjunctive Context (CC). Experience with using Cadmium in the G12 project shows that...

BACKGROUND Information on anatomical connectivity in the brain by measurements of the diffusion of water in white matter tracts lead to quantification of local tract directionality and integrity. METHODS The combination of connectivity mapping (fibre tracking, FT) with quantitative diffusion fractional anisotropy (FA) mapping resulted in the approach of results based on group-averaged data, n...

OBJECTIVE To determine the role of computed tomography-virtual cystoscopy (CT-VC) in the detection and evaluation of bladder cancer, compared to standard conventional cystoscopy (CC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with a clinical presentation of a bladder mass(es) were selected from an outpatient urology clinic between May 2011 and August 2012. All patients were then assessed usin...

Building a computationally creative system is a challenging undertaking. While such systems are beginning to proliferate, and a good number of them have been reasonably well-documented, it may seem, especially to newcomers to the field, that each system is a bespoke design that bears little chance of revealing any general knowledge about CC system building. This paper seeks to dispel this conce...

BACKGROUND Although coronary cusp (CC) ventricular arrhythmia (VA) can be treated by catheter ablation, reliable indicators of successful ablation sites have not been fully identified. METHODS AND RESULTS This study comprised 392 patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for outflow tract-VA at 3 institutions from January 2007 to August 2012. The successful ablation site was on the...

There is a need to develop indicators of mangrove condition using remotely sensed data. However, remote estimation of leaf and canopy biochemical properties and vegetation condition remains challenging. In this paper, we (i) tested the performance of selected hyperspectral and broad band indices to predict chlorophyll concentration (CC) on mangrove leaves and (ii) showed the potential of Landsa...

Allelic deletions on the short arm of chromosome 6 (6p) are one of the common, possibly early, genetic changes that occur in the pathogenesis of cervical carcinoma (CC). Previous loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies in CC identified a number of critical regions of deletions on 6p. However, the precise location of minimally deleted regions and their role in precancerous lesions have not been wel...

The corpus callosum (CC) plays a crucial role in interhemispheric communication. It has been shown that CC formation relies on the guidepost cells located in the midline region that include glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons as well as glial cells. However, the origin of these guidepost GABAergic neurons and their precise function in callosal axon pathfinding remain to be investigated. Here, w...
