Texture and temporal variations in scenes, and peculiarities of MPEG compression algorithms result in very complex frame-size data sets for any long-duration variable bit rate (VBR) video. A major hurdle in capturing the statistical behavior of such a data trace can be removed by segmentation of all frames into an appropriate number of analytically characterizable classes. However, video-trace ...

Introduction: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor arising from skeletal muscle cells. Although it predominantly seen in children, can also affect adults. RMS typically presents as rapidly growing mass the head neck region, genitourinary tract, or extremities. Among these sites, cervical exceedingly has only been reported handful of cases. Case Presentation: In this...

Synthetic biology holds promise as both a framework for rationally engineering biological systems and a way to revolutionize how we fundamentally understand them. Essential to realizing this promise is the development of strategies and tools to reliably and predictably control and characterize sophisticated patterns of gene expression. Here we review the role that RNA can play towards this goal...

An interactive proof system is called doubly-efficient if the prescribed prover strategy can be implemented in polynomial-time and the verifier’s strategy can be implemented in almost-linear-time. Such proof systems, introduced by Goldwasser, Kalai, and Rothblum (JACM, 2015), make the benefits of interactive proof system available to real-life agents who are restricted to polynomial-time comput...

While the spread of some neurodegenerative disease-associated proteinopathies, such as tau and α-synuclein, is well studied and clearly implicates transsynaptic pathology transmission, research into the progressive spread of amyloid-β pathology has been less clear. In fact, prior analyses of transregional amyloid-β pathology spread have implicated both transsynaptic and other intracellular- as ...
