The rodent dorsal skin fold model is used routinely as a means to study changes in microvasculature flow and architecture (Barton et al., 2001; Friesenecker et al., 1994; Gourgouliatos et al., 1990; Mordon et al., 1997; Tsuzuki et al., 2000; Vargas et al., 2001; Wettstein et al., 2003). A method for high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of blood flow dynamics is required to provide objec...

Traditional question answering systems typically employ a single pipeline architecture, consisting roughly of three components: question analysis, search, and answer selection (see e.g., (Clarke et al., 2001a; Hovy et al., 2000; Moldovan et al., 2000; Prager et al., 2000)). The knowledge sources utilized by these systems to date primarily focus on the corpus from which answers are to be retriev...

The impact of unsealed forest road networks on stream water quality has long been recognised and documented by many researchers (e.g. Takken et al., 2005; Flanagan et al., 2003; Croke and Mockler, 2001; Megahan et al. 2001; Croke et al., 1999; Montgomery, D.R., 1994 and Anderson et al. 1976). However, the importance of the degree of road-to-stream connectivity has only generated a limited amoun...

HIV-1 RT and protease sequencing and drug susceptibility testing have been done in research settings for more than ten years to elucidate the genetic mechanisms of resistance to antiretroviral drugs. Retrospective studies have shown that the presence of drug resistance before starting a new drug regimen is an independent predictor of virologic response to that regimen (DeGruttola et al., 2000; ...
