We present an original method for tracking, in a monocular image sequence, complex objects which can be approximately modeled by a polyhedral shape. It considers two steps of global transformation, the rst one operating in the 2D space and the second one in the 3D space. The rst step is able to handle large displacements of the object projection in the image. In involves a 2D motion model estim...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a tumour suppressor gene mutated in the germline of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and somatically in most colorectal cancers. APC mutations impair β-catenin degradation, resulting in increased Wnt signalling. The most frequent APC mutation is a codon 1309 truncation that is associated with severe FAP. A previous study ...

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence has indicated parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTHR1) plays important roles for the development and progression of osteosarcoma (OS). However, its function mechanisms remain unclear. The goal of this study was to further illuminate the roles of PTHR1 in OS using microarray data. METHODS Microarray data were available from the Gene Expression Omnibus database...

This article presents architectural transformations in the parish church of Sacred Heart Jesus (originally Blessed Virgin Mary) Żary. The is one themost interesting brick churches borderland between Silesia and Lusatia. Unfortunately, has featured very little literature, only its non-extant Romanesque west arm discussed. Based on scant written sources, results researchand archaeological excavat...

Neuroimaging centers and pharmaceutical companies are working together to evaluate treatments that might slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a common but devastating late-life neuropathology. Recently, automated brain mapping methods, such as tensor-based morphometry (TBM) of structural MRI, have outperformed cognitive measures in their precision and power to track disease progres...
