THE VIEW FORM 1703

Dmd052084 1703..1714

Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) represents a novel strategy for therapeutic intervention into multiple central nervous system disorders, including schizophrenia. Recently, a number of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of mGlu5 were discovered to exhibit in vivo efficacy in rodent models of psychosis, including PAMs possessing varying degrees of agonist activi...

Single View Modeling of Free-Form Scenes

This paper presents a novel approach for reconstructing freeform, texture-mapped, 3D scene models from a single painting or photograph. Given a sparse set of user-specified constraints such as surface normals, silhouettes, and creases, a smooth 3D surface is generated that satisfies the constraints. This problem is formulated as a constrained variational optimization problem. A key feature of t...

Single View Modeling of Free-Form Scenes

This paper presents a novel approach for reconstructing free-form, texture-mapped, 3D scene models from a single painting or photograph. Given a sparse set of user-specified constraints on the local shape of the scene, a smooth 3D surface that satisfies the constraints is generated. This problem is formulated as a constrained variational optimization problem. In contrast to previous work in sin...

AIAA 2002-1703 Scalable Solar Sail Subsystem Design Considerations

Under recent contract to JPL for the New Millennium Space Technology 7 Program (ST7) AEC-Able Engineering (ABLE) developed a Scalable Solar Sail Subsystem (S). The S is a minimal mass propulsion subsystem that can be mounted to a general heritage spacecraft to provide continuous low level thrust. The design baseline is a 3-axis-stabilized 4-quadrant square sail with attitude controlled through ...
