OBJECTIVE The authors describe a method, termed array painting, which allows the rapid, high resolution analysis of the content and breakpoints of aberrant chromosomes. METHODS Array painting is similar in concept to reverse chromosome painting and involves the hybridisation of probes generated by PCR of small numbers of flow sorted chromosomes on large insert genomic clone DNA microarrays. ...

OBJECTIVE Lock and key factory workers are under the risk of metal pneumoconiosis and occupational asthma. In this cross-sectional study, it's aimed to evaluate the relationship between metal dust exposure and respiratory symptoms, pulmonary function tests of workers in different section of lock and key factory. METHODS 54 male workers (mean age, 32.8 ± 5.4) in a security and safety products ...

With virtual reality, digital painting on 2D canvases is now being extended to 3D spaces. Tilt Brush and Oculus Quill are widely accepted among artists as tools that pave the way to a new form of art 3D emmersive painting. Current 3D painting systems are only a start, emitting textured triangular geometries. In this paper, we advance this new art of 3D painting to 3D volumetric painting that en...

Roth, Norman G. (Whirlpool Corp., St. Joseph, Mich.) and Robert B. Wheaton. Continuity of psychrophilic and mesophilic growth characteristics in the genus Arthrobacter. J. Bacteriol. 83:551-555. 1962.-The effect of temperature on growth of seven members of the genus Arthrobacter was determined at 0, 7, 20, 30, and 37 C. In general, no sharp cutoff point was observed between growth-temperature r...

Many old paintings suffer from the effects of certain physicochemical phenomena, that can seriously degrade their overall visual appearance.Digital image processing techniques can be utilized for the purpose of restoring the original appearance of a painting, with minimal physical interaction with the painting surface. In this paper, a number of methods are presented which can yield satisfactor...

House painters are a group of construction workers that commonly develop shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (Stenlund et. al., 2002). A specific disorder typically incurred by these tradesmen is supraspinatus tendonitis. Information regarding shoulder loading during ceiling painting is available. However, no comparable data sets exist for wall painting. Even less information is available on the...

A widely-known painting currently in the Wellcome Library (Iconographic 574912i) depicts an anatomical view of the male human body according to the tenets of classical Indian medicine, or ayurveda. The painting is surrounded by text passages in the Sanskrit language on medical and anatomical topics. In this paper, the Sanskrit texts are identified, edited, translated and assessed. I establish a...

UNLABELLED Two paintings, O1 and O2, were split into their luminance (grayscale) components L1, L2 and their color components C1, C2. The two color components, C1, C2, were transparently superimposed. Adding the grayscale of the first painting (= C1 + C2 + L1) looked like the original O1, while adding the grayscale of the second painting (= C1 + C2 + L2) looked like the original O2. CONCLUSIO...
