The Stereoscopic Analyzer (STAN) is an assistance system for the production of stereoscopic 3D. Developed by the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, Berlin, in cooperation with KUK Film Production, Munich, STAN combines realtime image analysis with intelligent automated tools and intuitive graphical user interfaces to assist camera operators and production staff in shooting the right stereo co...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between scalp pH (FBS) and ST analysis in situations of acidosis with special emphasis on the timing of cardiotocography (CTG), FBS and ST changes during labor. STUDY DESIGN From a European Union multicenter study on clinical implementation of the STAN methodology, 911 cases were identified where a scalp-pH had been obtained. In 53 cases, marked cord arter...

Planetary science lost one of its most highly respected members with the recent passing of Prof. Stanton (Stan) Peale. At last December’s American Geophysical Union meeting, Stan presented a talk on effects of the ellipsoidal shape of Mercury’s solid inner core on the tilt of the planet’s spin axis, but he was not feeling well. He was later diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia that proved res...

SUMMARY We have developed STAN (suffix-tree analyser), a tool to search for nucleotidic and peptidic patterns within whole chromosomes. Pattern syntax uses a string variable grammar-like formalism which allows the description of complex patterns including ambiguities, insertions/deletions, gaps, repeats and palindromes. STAN is based on a reduction to multipart matching on a suffix-tree data st...

3235 but with m = l = 12, only 8% of the number of flops were required for STAN 1 and about 7% for EIV-PAST. From Fig. 1, we conclude that all considered algorithms offer similar tracking accuracy. Example 2: As previously stated, one of the main advantages with STAN, compared with, for example EIV-PAST, is that estimates of the signal singular values are available. In Fig. 2, the estimated sig...

Previously, D2 dopamine receptors (D2 DARs) have been shown to undergo G-protein-coupled receptor kinase phosphorylation in an agonist-specific fashion. We have now investigated the ability of the second messenger-activated protein kinases, protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC), to mediate phosphorylation and desensitization of the D2 DAR. HEK293T cells were transiently transfected ...

BACKGROUND Loss of dorsal acetabular rim (DAR) is a common sequela to canine hip dysplasia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of DAR loss on the initial stability of the cementless (BFX) acetabular cup. BFX cups were implanted into foam blocks reamed to resemble acetabulae with simulated 0, 25, 50, and 75% DAR loss. Models were tested in edge loading of the lateral surface of ...
