Activation of Cdc14 phosphatase, controlled by a signalling cascade known as the mitotic exit network, is the final switch that drives cells from mitosis into the next cell cycle. The recent discovery of a novel network that regulates early Cdc14 activation has revealed the unexpected existence of a two-step control of mitotic exit.

We recently demonstrated a new approach to mul-tiframe structure from motion from point features which, in the appropriate domain, provably reconstructs structure and motion correctly. The algorithm works for general motion and large perspective eeects. In this paper, we describe how to adapt our approach to translational motion lying along a line or in a plane, with arbitrary rotations. An ana...

We present a technique to fuse inertial and visual information for real-time navigation applications. The combined model exhibits bounded bias, autocalibrates the camera-to-IMU transformation (eliminating the need for precise measurement or construction), and updates an estimate of the gravity vector. We analyze of the observability of the combined system, and discuss the implementation of a fi...

3D reconstruction pipelines using structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo techniques are today able to reconstruct impressive, large-scale geometry models from images but do not yield textured results. Current texture creation methods are unable to handle the complexity and scale of these models. We therefore present the first comprehensive texturing framework for large-scale, real-world 3D...

This issue discusses methods to extract three-dimensional (3D) models from plain images. In particular, the 3D information is obtained from images for which the camera parameters are unknown. The principles underlying such uncalibrated structure-from-motion methods are outlined. First, a short review of 3D acquisition technologies puts such methods in a wider context and highlights their import...

Despite the utilization of several earthquake resistant traditional techniques in Iranian architecture throughout the centuries, the high seismic vulnerability of Iranian vernacular constructions is obvious. One of the latest innovations in building earthquake-proof emergency dwellings, prior to introducing the modern seismic design codes, took place during the successive destructive earthqu...
