Hedgehog signaling pathway is an important signal pathway, which regulates the development of variety of tissues and organs in the embryonic stage. It also plays an important role in osteogenesis. However, there are few data recording the role of Hedgehog signaling molecules in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic and widely us...Show More
Neural stem and progenitor cells have significant promise for the regeneration of tissue from the effects of trauma or neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases. However, our understanding of the signaling factors and basic mechanisms that control their behavior must be greatly improved before this promise can be achieved. We have investigated the role of sonic hedge...Show More
Pathway deregulation has been identified as a key driver of carcinogenesis, with proteins in signaling pathways serving as primary targets for drug development. Deregulation can be driven by a number of molecular events, including gene mutation, epigenetic changes in gene promoters, overexpression, and gene amplifications or deletions. We demonstrate a novel approach that identifies pathways of in...Show More
Ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were transfected for 48 hours by the mediation of LipofectamineTM 2000. CCK-8 kit and real time RT-PCR were employed to evaluate the effects of GLI1 mRNA transfection on the proliferation of SKOV3 cells, the apoptosis rates induced by paclitaxel and the cell cycle of SKOV3 cells following the treatments were measured with flow cytometry; and cyclinD1 protein expression w...Show More
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer associated with an early age of onset, greater propensity towards metastasis, and poorer clinical outcomes. It accounts for 10% to 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases and disproportionately affects individuals from the African American race. While TNBC is sensitive to chemotherapy, it is also prone to relapse. This ...Show More

One of the major problems facing gene expression researchers is how to reduce the high dimensionality of gene expression data in the face of small sample sizes in comparison to the number of genes measured. We report on the application of a single layer neural network for reducing the number of originally measured genes from over 7000 to 64 through repeated application of thresholds on the weights...Show More
The relationship between changes in gene expression and physical characteristics associated with Down syndrome is not well understood. Chromosome 21 genes interact with nonchromosome 21 genes to produce Down syndrome characteristics. This indirect influence, however, is difficult to empirically define due to the number, size, and complexity of the involved gene regulatory networks. This work links...Show More
The ability of stem cells to develop into functional neurons has been rigorously studied in the past several years. In the way of the interpretation of how the crosstalk between signaling pathways orchestrates the differentiation of stem cells into neuronal fate, this study has been carried out. Here, five major tracks viz. cAMP, MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), and Retinoic acid signali...Show More
High-performance prediction of prostate cancer metastasis based on single nucleotide variations remains a challenge. Therefore, we developed a novel biologically informed deep learning framework, named M-NET, for the prediction of prostate cancer metastasis. Within the framework, we transformed single nucleotide variations into patient feature images that are optimal for fitting convolutional neur...Show More

The origin of the high-velocity circumstellar gas around SN 1998S

Year: 2002 | Volume: 330, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |
Modelling of high-resolution Balmer line profiles in the early-time spectra of SN 1998S shows that the inferred fast (≈400 km s−1) circumstellar (CS) gas on days 23 and 42 post-explosion is confined to a narrow, negative velocity gradient shell just above the photosphere. This gas may be identified with a slow (v<40 km s−1) progenitor wind accelerated at the ejecta—wind interface. In this scenario...Show More

A novel high-efficiency eight-beams dual-polarized array antenna using an 8 × 8 beamforming network is studied and developed at 60 GHz. Two 4×4 Butler matrices are employed as base beamformers, and two 4×8 pattern control networks are utilized for increasing the number of radiating elements and suppressing sidelobes in the proposed dual left/right-hand circularly polarized (LH/RH CP) beamforming n...Show More
In this paper we present methods of protecting RFID tags users' privacy. Based on well-known technique by Juels et al. called Blocker tag we introduce a set of methods for increasing security using a device called Hedgehog blocker. Hedgehog blocker copes with the problem of the additional information gained by the adversary through measuring signal power (i.e. learning the number of transmitting t...Show More
A spherically symmetric isolated point defect in a 3D uniaxial nematic liquid crystal sample is often called a radial hedgehog. We use topological methods to describe local configurations of uniaxial and biaxial states into which a hedgehog naturally deforms under small perturbations: these include the biaxial torus and split core configurations studied in the literature using analytical and numer...Show More
Vector field visualization remains a difficult task. Many local and global visualization methods for vector fields such as flow data exist, but they usually require extensive user experience on setting the visualization parameters in order to produce images communicating the desired insight. We present a visualization method that produces simplified but suggestive images of the vector field automa...Show More
We present the problem of visualizing time-varying medical data. Two medical imaging modalities are compared-MRI and dynamic SPECT. For each modality, we examine several derived scalar and vector quantities such as the change in intensity over time, the spatial gradient, and the change of the gradient over time. We compare several methods for presenting the data, including isosurfaces, direct volu...Show More
Lateral field excitation (LFE) of a thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) is an ideal platform for biomedical sensors. A thickness shear mode (TSM) acoustic wave in a piezoelectric thin film is desirable for probing liquid samples because of the poor coupling of shear waves into the liquid. The resonator becomes an effective sensor by coating the surface with a bio- or chemi-specific layer. Per...Show More
We present a method for visualizing three dimensional vector fields which are defined on a two dimensional manifold only. These vector fields do exist in real application, as we show by an example of an optical measuring instrument which can gauge the displacement at the surface of a mechanical part. The general idea is to compute LIC textures in the manifold's tangent space and to deform the mani...Show More
Design patterns are widely used by object oriented designers and developers for building complex systems in object oriented programming languages such as Java. However, systems evolve over time, increasing the chance that the pattern in its original form will be broken. We attempt to show that many design patterns (implemented in Java) can be verified automatically. Patterns are defined in terms o...Show More
This paper presents the latest developments related to an optical indoor positioning system named CLIPS, which consists of a projector and a mobile camera. With the projector, a pattern of laser spots is projected on any surface in an indoor environment. For the camera pose estimation in respect to the projector device, the camera has to capture the scene with the laser spots. The geometric relati...Show More
Vector fields can represent magnetic, electrical, fluid, and gas velocity fields in engineering applications, as well as various displacement and strain fields. They implicitly contain a large amount of data not directly or easily observable. Computer graphics has several techniques to assist scientists and engineers in understanding the phenomena behind the analyzed data. The paper discusses a te...Show More
Making a quadrupedal robotic machine walk is a problem with an infinity of solutions. Nevertheless, this question seems to have been solved successfully by mammals. Hence a particular approach in the design of walking robots has been considered, based on the animals movement characteristics. Indeed, studying animal walking can help produce a class of solutions towards the definition of quadrupedal...Show More
The experience sampling methodology is a well known tool in psychology to asses a subject's condition. Regularly or whenever an important event happens the subject stops whatever he is currently involved in and jots down his current perceptions, experience, and activities, which in turn form the basis of these diary studies. Such methods are also widely in use for gathering labelled data for weara...Show More
The finer pitch of 10 μm and below is currently explored by Microdisplays and Imaging industries. There are many contenders for achieving assembly at this pitch e.g. Cu-diffusion, Microtubes[1], and SnAg bumps. Among the contenders, SnAg bumps are tested for larger bumps but their capabilities for the finer pitch are yet to be explored. In this paper, behavior of SnAg for smaller bumps for the fin...Show More
