Brain mapping in animals and humans

The discovery of the Mothers against dpp (Mad) gene in Drosophila has opened a window on an entirely unique signalling pathway that functions to mediate responses to the tumour growth factor beta (TGF beta) superfamily. This pathway, which is comprised of a family of proteins related to Mad, acts to convey signals directly from TGF beta receptors to the nucleus and is implicated in the pathogenesis of human diseases.

Progress and recent trend in MILD combustion

Moderate or intense low oxygen dilution(MILD)combustion plays a significant role in the mitigation of combustion-generated pollutants and greenhouse gases whilst meeting thermal efficiency needs.However,due to the lack of the fundamental knowledge on this combustion,there is a misconception that MILD combustion should be established by high preheating of the air,which has limited its application.Our research and development on this combustion has been performed for several years. We have found that the requ...

Successful electroconvulsive therapy of Cotard syndrome with bitemporal hypoperfusion

A case study is presented to illustrate a rare condition described by Cotard as "délire de négation". The central symptom is a nihilistic delusion with denial of one's own existence of oneself and that of the external world. In the present case, the syndrome became manifest as an escalation of a recurrent depressive disorder late in life. After initial resistance to therapy, the syndrome was successfully treated with electroconvulsive therapy. For the first time, we report the regional cerebral blood flow measured by 99mTc-HMPAO-SPECT before and after therapy. Before treatment, significant bitemporal hypoperfusion relative to the cerebellum was found, which was no longer demonstrable on remission.     

Recognition of Arabic (Indian) bank check digits using log-gabor filters

In this paper we present a technique for the automatic recognition of Arabic (Indian) bank check digits based on features extracted by using the Log Gabor filters. The digits are classified by using the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN), Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers. An extensive experimentation is conducted on the CENPARMI data, a database consisting of 7390 samples of Arabic (Indian) digits for training and 3035 samples for testing extracted from real bank checks. The data is normalized to a height of 64 pixels, maintaining the aspect ratio. Log Gabor filters with several scales and orientations are used. In addition, the filtered images are segmented into different region sizes for feature extraction. Recognition rates of 98.95%, 98.75%, 98.62%, 97.21% and 94.43% are achieved with SVM, 1-NN, 3-NN, HMM and NM classifiers, respectively. These results significantly outperform published work using the same database. The misclassified digits are evaluated subjectively and results indicate that human subjects misclassified 1/3 of these digits. The experimental results, including the subjective evaluation of misclassified digits, indicate the effectiveness of the selected Log Gabor filters parameters, the implemented image segmentation technique, and extracted features for practical recognition of Arabic (Indian) digits.
