Human catalase is imported and assembled in peroxisomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

To study the conservation of peroxisomal targeting signals, we have determined the intracellular localization of human peroxisomal catalase when expressed in yeast. Using immunofluorescence, differential centrifugation and immunoelectron microscopy, we show that the protein is targeted to the peroxisomes of the heterologous cell and assembled in its active tetrameric form. These data show the conservation of the catalase targeting signal and import specificity between human and yeast peroxisomes.     

Vehicle Teleoperation Interfaces

Despite advances in autonomy, there will always be a need for human involvement in vehicle teleoperation. In particular, tasks such as exploration, reconnaissance and surveillance will continue to require human supervision, if not guidance and direct control. Thus, it is critical that the operator interface be as efficient and as capable as possible. In this paper, we provide an overview of vehicle teleoperation and present a summary of interfaces currently in use.     

Denotation and connotation in the human – computer interface: The ‘Save as …’ command

This paper presents a semiotic technique as a means of exploring meaning and understanding in interface design and use. This is examined through a study of the interaction between the ‘file’ metaphor and ‘save as’ command metaphor. The behaviour of these (from a functional or computational basis) do not exactly match, or map onto, the meaning of the metaphor. We examine both the denotation of a term to the user, i.e. its literal meaning to that person, and the term's connotations, i.e. any other meanings associated with the term. We suggest that the technique applied is useful in predicting future problems with understanding the use of metaphor at the interface and with designing appropriate signification for human-computer interaction. Variation in connotation was expected but a more fundamental difference in denotation was also uncovered. Moreover, the results clearly demonstrate that consistency in the denotation of a term is critical in achieving a good user understanding of the command.

Auditory-visual cross-modal perception of communicative stimuli in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella).

Research on cross-modal performance in nonhuman primates is limited to a small number of sensory modalities and testing methods. To broaden the scope of this research, the authors tested capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) for a seldom-studied cross-modal capacity in nonhuman primates, auditory-visual recognition. Monkeys were simultaneously played 2 video recordings of a face producing different vocalizations and a sound recording of 1 of the vocalizations. Stimulus sets varied from naturally occurring conspecific vocalizations to experimentally controlled human speech stimuli. The authors found that monkeys preferred to view face recordings that matched presented vocal stimuli. Their preference did not differ significantly across stimulus species or other stimulus features. However, the reliability of the latter set of results may have been limited by sample size. From these results, the authors concluded that capuchin monkeys exhibit auditory-visual cross-modal perception of conspecific vocalizations.

A pulsed neural network model of spectro-temporal receptive fields and population coding in auditory cortex

The existence of spectro-temporal receptive fields and evidence for population coding in auditory cortex motivate the development of such models, that explicitly operate in the time-frequency domain and are based on a pulsed neural network. In presenting such a model, a formal connection of the fields of Time Frequency Analysis and Pulsed Neural Networks is established. The resulting neural time-frequency signal representation is shown to be representable as a signal-dependent overcomplete dictionary. It is derived from neural population coding. Signal decomposition and filtering effects are presented, indicating obvious technical applications of the proposed model. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

基于小波分析的听觉滤波器组模型

对听觉滤波器组模型进行了研究。比较分析了伽马通(Gammatone)听觉滤波器组模型和基于小波分析的高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型,分别给出了预测听阈曲线并且与标准听闻曲线进行了比较,结果表明高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型更接近实际人耳滤波效果。将高斯小波听觉滤波器组模型的预测特征响度与德国朗德(Head Acoustics)公司的Artemis软件计算出的特征响度进行分析比较,结果表明,每个特征频带的响度差值都小于0.6 sone。
