AIM To report on the successful use of Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) as a tool for isolation of human chorionic villi from admixed maternal tissue. Subsequent DNA isolation for forensic short tandem repeat (STR) analysis for parentage testing was performed in two cases of alleged sexual assault of female victims. We also performed validation of the LCM instrument platform, using archival ...

This paper proposes a method for constraint detection using only proprioceptive data. This method for constraint detection was tested on a pre-existing data set and was found to be able to detect insertions. Two additional experiments were performed. The first showed that the constraint detection algorithm can be used to associate an action with an event. The second experiment implemented a lea...

Abstract Histogram Equalization (HE) is one of the most popular techniques for this purpose. Most histogram equalization techniques, including Contrast Limited Adaptive (CLAHE) and Local Modification CLAHE (LCM CLAHE), use a fixed block size technique feature enhancement. Due to this, all these state art are used give poor denoising performance after In paper, deep learning based new approach, ...

Land cover mapping (LCM) in complex surface-mined and agricultural landscapes could contribute greatly to regulating mine exploitation and protecting mine geo-environments. However, there are some special and spectrally similar land covers in these landscapes which increase the difficulty in LCM when employing high spatial resolution images. There is currently no research on these mixed complex...

Ca- and Sr-doped lanthanum manganese perovskites La0.95A0.05Mn0.98Fe0.02O3+δ (A = Ca, Sr) (LCM LSM) of non-stoichiometric (NS) stoichiometric (S) compositions were prepared by sol-gel method investigated 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy magnetic measurements. In contrast to samples, which contain pure singles phases, a mixture orthorhombic phases O (PnmaI), O′ (PnmaII)and O′′ (PnmaII*)are detected i...

Lacosamide (LCM) was licensed in the United Kingdom in 2008 for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures. It exerts its effect by enhancing sodium channel slow inactivation. This article reports preliminary outcomes with adjunctive LCM in the everyday clinical setting. To date, 113 patients (57 males, 56 females; aged range=18-74 years, median=39 years) with uncontrolled partial-onset...

Terrestrial long-distance migrations are declining globally: in North America, nearly 75% have been lost. Yet there has been limited research comparing habitat suitability and connectivity models to identify migration corridors across increasingly fragmented landscapes. Here we use pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) migrations in prairie habitat to compare two types of models that identify habit...

When deploying autonomous agents in unstructured environments over sustained periods of time, adaptability and robustness oftentimes outweigh optimality as a primary consideration. In other words, safety survivability constraints play key role this paper, we present novel, constraint-learning framework for control tasks built on the idea constraints-driven control. However, since policies that ...

A common situation in the evaluation of intervention programs is the researcher's possibility to rely on two waves of data only (i.e., pretest and posttest), which profoundly impacts on his/her choice about the possible statistical analyses to be conducted. Indeed, the evaluation of intervention programs based on a pretest-posttest design has been usually carried out by using classic statistica...
