structure common to all fingers as shown in Figure 1c; then, we should be able to specialize this structure for the index finger and introduce the middle phalanx, as in Figure 1e. The graph specialization Gfinger ⊳ Gthumb states that the graph for the thumb specializes the graph for a finger. Definition 3 (Graph Specialization). A graph specialization is an axiom of the form G1 ⊳ G2, where G1 =...

We present GHand, a GPU algorithm for markerless hand pose estimation from a single depth image obtained from a commodity depth camera. Our method uses a dual random forest approach: the first forest estimates position and orientation of hand in 3D, while the second forest determines the joint angles of the kinematic chain of our hand model. GHand runs entirely on GPU, at a speed of 64 FPS with...

In the past decade, growth hormones (GHs) have been isolated from the pituitaries of several teleost species including tilapia, salmon, carp, and eel.1~9) Although teleost GHs may be useful in promoting growth in aquaculture, little is known about appropriate routes, doses, or patterns of administration. Considerable amounts of teleost GHsare required to clarify both the mode of action of teleo...

Studies in mutant, gene knock-out and transgenic mice have demonstrated that growth hormone (GH) signalling has a major impact on ageing and longevity. Growth hormone-resistant and GH-deficient animals live much longer than their normal siblings, while transgenic mice overexpressing GH are short lived. Actions of GH in juvenile animals appear to be particularly important for life extension and ...

In this issue of Circulation, Tajima et al 1 report that recombinant human growth hormone (GH) (3.5 mg z kg z d) given for 2 weeks, while not affecting baseline function, restored myocardial contractile reserve in cardiomyocytes isolated from rats 4 to 6 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI) compared with vehicle-treated post-MI rats. In addition, the peak of the Ca transient, which was normal...

the concept of “kalama” has always been one of the most important and yet complicated concepts that has been brought to attention in human and divine schools of thoughts. “kalama” has also claimed a special place in the holy qur’an, and the repetition of it throughout the book is a sign of its importance. semantics of quranic words is one of the modern methods of investigation in holy qur’an. t...
