Software‐processed edge‐ and level‐adaptive overdrive (SELAO) method for high‐quality motion pictures

Abstract— In this paper, a software‐processed edge‐ and level‐adaptive overdrive (SELAO) method, which is a novel overdrive technique that utilizes not only a temporal change of gray levels but also a spatial edge intensity of motion pictures, is proposed. The SELAO method is a software video‐processing technology to improve motion‐picture quality rendered on LCDs more than is possible with a conventional SLAO method without edge‐adaptive overdrive, and it works in real time on commonly used personal computers (PCs).     

Miscibility of some hydroxyl-containing polymers with poly(acetonyl methacrylate), poly(tetrahydropyranyl-2-methacrylate), and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate)

Poly(tetrahydropyranyl-2-methacrylate) (PTHPMA) was found to be miscible with Poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPH), Poly(hydroxy ether of bisphenol A) (Phenoxy), and Poly(styrene-co-allyl alcohol) (PSAA). However, Poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCHMA) is immiscible with all these three hydroxyl-containing polymers. Poly(acetonyl methacrylate) (PACMA) was found to be miscible with PVPH but immiscible with Phenoxy and PSAA. Miscible PTHPMA-Phenoxy blends showed lower critical solution temperature behavior.

Efficient Skyline and Top-k Retrieval in Subspaces

Skyline and top-k queries are two popular operations for preference retrieval. In practice, applications that require these operations usually provide numerous candidate attributes, whereas, depending on their interests, users may issue queries regarding different subsets of the dimensions. The existing algorithms are inadequate for subspace skyline/top-k search because they have at least one of the following defects: 1) they require scanning the entire database at least once, 2) they are optimized for one subspace but incur significant overhead for other subspaces, or 3) they demand expensive maintenance cost or space consumption. In this paper, we propose a technique SUBSKY, which settles both types of queries by using purely relational technologies. The core of SUBSKY is a transformation that converts multidimensional data to one-dimensional (1D) values. These values are indexed by a simple B-tree, which allows us to answer subspace queries by accessing a fraction of the database. SUBSKY entails low maintenance overhead, which equals the cost of updating a traditional B-tree. Extensive experiments with real data confirm that our technique outperforms alternative solutions significantly in both efficiency and scalability.

N-Methyl-D-aspartate attenuates opioid receptor-mediated G protein activation and this process involves protein kinase C

The effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on opioid receptor-mediated G protein activation were explored in neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid (NG108-15) cells. Treatment of the cells with NMDA resulted in a remarkable attenuation of [35S]guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate binding stimulated by [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]-enkephalin (DPDPE), a delta-opioid receptor agonist. The effects of NMDA were dose and time dependent with an IC50 value of 5 nM and could be blocked by NMDA receptor antagonists. After NMDA treatment, the DPDPE dose-response curve shifted to the right (EC50 value increased approximately 7-fold, from 6 to 40 nM), and the maximal response induced by DPDPE was reduced by approximately 60%. The effects of NMDA were reversible, and the DPDPE response could recover within 60 min. The functional responses of delta-, mu-, and kappa-opioid receptors in primarily cultured neurons also were attenuated significantly by NMDA treatment. The inhibitory effects of NMDA on opioid receptor-mediated G protein activation could be blocked by coadministration of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors or by elimination of the extracellular Ca2+. Correspondingly, NMDA treatment of NG108 cells significantly elevated cellular PKC activity and stimulated Gialpha2 phosphorylation. Transient transfection into NG108-15 cells of the wild-type Gialpha2 and a mutated Gialpha2 (Ser144Ala) resulted in a 2-fold increase in DPDPE-stimulated G protein activation. The DPDPE responses were greatly inhibited by NMDA treatment in the wild-type Gialpha2-transfected cells but much less affected in the mutant Gialpha2-transfected cells. In summary, NMDA attenuates opioid receptor/G protein coupling, and this process requires activation of PKC.     

A variational method for contour tracking via covariance matching

This paper presents a novel formulation for contour tracking.We model the second-order statistics of image regions and perform covariance matching under the variational level set framework.Specifically,covariance matrix is adopted as a visual object representation for partial differential equation(PDE) based contour tracking.Log-Euclidean calculus is used as a covariance distance metric instead of Euclidean distance which is unsuitable for measuring the similarities between covariance matrices,because the matrices typically lie on a non-Euclidean manifold.A novel image energy functional is formulated by minimizing the distance metric between the candidate object region and a given template,and maximizing the one between the background region and the template.The corresponding gradient flow is then derived according to a variational approach,enabling partial differential equations(PDEs) based contour tracking.Experiments on several challenging sequences prove the validity of the proposed method.     

A neuron membrane mesh representation for visualization of electrophysiological simulations

We present a process to automatically generate three-dimensional mesh representations of the complex, arborized cell membrane surface of cortical neurons (the principal information processing cells of the brain) from nonuniform morphological measurements. Starting from manually sampled morphological points (3D points and diameters) from neurons in a brain slice preparation, we construct a polygonal mesh representation that realistically represents the continuous membrane surface, closely matching the original experimental data. A mapping between the original morphological points and the newly generated mesh enables simulations of electrophysiolgical activity to be visualized on this new membrane representation. We compare the new mesh representation with the state of the art and present a series of use cases and applications of this technique to visualize simulations of single neurons and networks of multiple neurons.
