STKE: Distinctive Mitochondria

Toxicity of atorvastatin on isolated brain mitochondria

Background: Although the bio kinetics, metabolism and chemical toxicity of Atorvastatin are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential neurotoxic effect of Atorvastatin (Atv). Regarding the concrete evidences indicating Atv may reduce Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels through blockage of  metalonate cycle, the present work aims to determine if Atorvastatin may provide toxic...

Distinctive Feature Selection

We proposed a new method to select distinctive features for 3D shape. This approach combines the techniques of neighborhood preserved dimensionality reduction algorithm with clustering method. Based on experimental result, it turns out that the proposed method has better distinctive feature retrieval performance in low dimensional mapping. Using our method, we achieved a reasonably accuracy in ...

Telematics: A Distinctive Discipline

The thesis of this paper is the identification of Telematics as a distinctive discipline, a discipline that shares a lot with Computer Science and with Electrical Engineering, but whose body of knowledge deserves being identified as such, since it is today already big enough and is expected to grow even more in future. We begin with the historical background of Telematics, continuing with a des...

Modeling Distinctive Feature Emergence

While these two claims are not contradictory, this paper provides an account of the abundance of natural classes without recourse to innate features. Evidence is provided in Section 3 from a simulation of class emergence which is based on readily-observable aspects of phonetic similarity, provided in turn by a phonetic similarity metric detailed in Section 2. One way to examine the claim that c...
