This study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the effects of age on neural temporal dynamics of processing task-relevant facial expressions and their relationship to cognitive functions. Negative (sad, afraid, angry, and disgusted), positive (happy), and neutral faces were presented to 30 older and 31 young participants who performed a facial emotion categorization task. Behavi...

The existence of separate gelatinase granules in human neutrophils has been a matter of debate in recent years. We have demonstrated that the 135-kD form of neutrophil gelatinase is a complex of 92-kD gelatinase and a novel 25-kD protein termed neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) that, in addition to being complexed with part of the gelatinase, is localized in free form in peroxid...

The purpose of this study was to determine the cellular and subcellular localization of aquaporin-8 (AQP8) in rat kidney and other organs by RT-PCR analyses and by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry using peptide-derived rabbit antibodies to rat AQP8. RT-PCR and Southern blotting revealed the presence of AQP8 mRNA in all kidney zones. LLC-PK(1) cells transfected with a rat AQP8 construct e...

Clustering-based unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (ReID) reduces exhaustive annotations. However, owing to unsatisfactory feature embedding and imperfect clustering, pseudo labels for target data inherently contain an unknown proportion of wrong ones, which would mislead learning. In this paper, we propose approach named probabilistic uncertainty guided progressive la...

  Introduction: The field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is rapidly moving toward translation to clinical practice. Stem cell therapy seems to be a new treatment option for some diseases. So, tracking the distribution of stem cells is crucial to their therapeutic use. Based on this fact we labeled human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with 111...

Properties of objects and spatial relations between objects play an important role in rulebased approaches for high-level vision. The partial presence or absence of such properties and relationships can supply both positive and negative evidence for region labeling hypotheses. Similarly, fuzzy labeling of a region can generate new hypotheses pertaining to the properties of the region, its relat...

We investigated the intracellular distribution of the mRNAs corresponding to the three non-allelic CaM genes in cultured hippocampal cells by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled gene-specific riboprobes. In neurons the perikaryon was heavily stained and strong dendritic mRNA targeting was detected for all three CaM genes. The color labeling exhibited a punctate distribution, suggesti...

Let G(V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. A graph G is said to have an odd mean labeling if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2,...,2q - 1} satisfying f is 1 - 1 and the induced map f* : E(G) → {1, 3, 5,...,2q - 1} defined by f*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v))/2 if f(u) + f(v) is evenf*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v) + 1)/2 if f(u) + f(v) is odd is a bijection. A graph that admits an odd mean labelin...

A (p,q) graph G is said to admit n order triangular sum labeling if its vertices can be labeled by non negative integers such that the induced edge labels obtained by the sum of the labels of end vertices are the first q n order triangular numbers. A graph G which admits n order triangular sum labeling is called n order triangular sum graph. In this paper we prove that paths, combs, stars, subd...
