In addition to the paper, this supplementary material provides more insights into the novel-to-film alignment and the results. We specially focus on three aspects of the paper. Firstly, Sec. 2 presents a detailed qualitative analysis of the alignment methods, and also visualizes the ground truth and predicted alignment for our second data source HP (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). We fu...

Optokinetic afternystagmus, or OKAN, was investigated in 147 normal subjects (69 males and 78 females aged 20-78) for the purpose of obtaining the normal duration range and total number of beats in OKAN of the 1st phase. OKAN was recorded nystagmographically with the eyes open in darkness immediately after the sudden cessation of horizontal optokinetic stimulation with a constant speed of 60 de...

The opioid agonists morphine, etorphine, buprenorphine and U50,488 were examined alone and in combination with the insurmountable opioid antagonist clocinnamox (C-CAM) in squirrel monkeys responding under a schedule of shock titration. In this procedure, shock intensity increased every 15 sec from 0.01 to 2.0 mA in 30 increments. Five lever presses during any given 15-sec shock period produced ...

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study is to describe a preclinical investigation using laser-activated bleaching agent for discolored teeth. Materials and methods: Sixty sound human central and lateral incisors were selected for this study and were randomly assigned into four groups as follows: Group 1 (n=15): only Whiteness HP 10 min; Group 2 (n=15): diode laser, wavelength 980 nm power 0.8 W–30...

Collofello BS, Moskalik B, Essick EE. Acute Dietary Nitrate Supplementation Decreases Systolic Blood Pressure and Increases Dry Static Apnea Performance in Females. JEPonline 2014;17(4):1526. Recently, dietary inorganic nitrate has been explored as a sports nutrition supplement, and has been shown to enhance exercise performance by reducing metabolic oxygen cost and lowering blood pressure. The...

PURPOSE To determine diagnostic accuracy of kinetic visual field assessment by Octopus 900 perimetry compared with Goldmann perimetry. METHODS Prospective cross section evaluation of 40 control subjects with full visual fields and 50 patients with known visual field loss. Comparison of test duration and area measurement of isopters for Octopus 3, 5, and 10°/sec stimulus speeds. Comparison of ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the anti depressive activity of raw, autoclaved, boiled, germinated and roasted pumpkin seeds powder extract compared with the standard drug: Imipriamine (30 mg/kg) in normal and depressed control rats. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (100 mg/kg) was used as the depression inducer in rats. The result shows that there was a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in ...

Material and methods 13 patients with histopathologically proven oesophageal adenocarcinoma underwent a combined dynamic and static F-FDG PET/CT including CT tumour perfusion (Siemens, Biograph mCT). Dynamic PET (listmode) was acquired for 60 min resulting in 38 frames from 10 to 600 sec duration for the full dynamic dataset and 2 frames each with 600 sec duration (20-30 min and 50-60 min p.i.)...

Fosinopril, ramipril and losartan significantly decreased the duration (sec) of immobility in forced swim test and were comparable to amitriptyline. The duration of immobility were significantly decreased in fosinopril, ramipril and losartan in the tail suspension test and were comparable to amitriptyline. Only losartan significantly increased the rearing number of entries, time spent (sec) in ...
