OBJECTIVES In previous investigations, we have shown para-nonylphenol (p-NP) caused significant reduction of proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. In this study, we first treat the rats with p-NP, then carried out the biochemical and morphological studies on MSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Proliferation property of cells was evaluated with th...

competition is against monopoly and intellectual property creates monopoly for intellectual property owner. this article had been paid cooperation between apparently contradictory policies. exhaustion, parallel imports, compulsory license, intellectual property exploitation contract that coincide with competition are methods of cooperation between intellectual property and competition law. comp...

In remote sensing image interpretation, it is important to combine multiple features of a certain pixel in both spatial and spectral domains to improve the classification accuracy, such as spectral signature, morphological property, and shape feature. Therefore, it is essential to consider the complementary property of different features and combine them in order to obtain an accurate classific...

A formal de nition of morphological operators in (max,min)algebra is introduced and their relevant properties from an algebraic viewpoint are stated. Some previous works in mathematical morphology have already encountered this type of operators but a systematic study of them has not yet been undertaken in the morphological literature. It is shown in particular that one of their fundamental prop...

This paper proposes a new cost-effective architecture for mathematical morphology named Partial-Result-Reuse (PRR) architecture. For a lot of real-time applications of mathematical morphology, the hardware implementation is necessary; however, the hardware cost of almost existing morphology architectures is too high when dealing with large structuring elements. With partial-resultreuse concept ...
