Multi-body structure-and-motion (MSaM) is the problem to establish the multiple-view geometry of an image sequence of a 3D scene, where the scene consists of multiple rigid objects moving relative to each other. So far, solutions have been proposed for several restricted settings, such as only two views, affine projection, and perspective projection of linearly moving points. We give a solution...

An algorithm from Radon transform to obtain local tomography from multiple CT slices for localized 3D reconstruction is developed. The proposed method uses Radon transform to obtain projections for a region of interest. Reconstructing a particular cross section of a human body using local data will significantly reduce Xray exposure during imaging. Image reconstruction is performed using filter...

Procedures for projecting angular momentum in a model describing a hot nucleus that takes into account large-amplitude quadrupole fluctuations are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the effect angular-momentum projection has on the observables associated with the γ-decay of the giant-dipole resonance (GDR). We also elaborate on which of the different projection methods provides the best...

The distribution and terminal morphology of the corticothalamic projection originating from the primary auditory cortex (A1) were established in a macaque monkey, using the anterograde (and retrograde) tracer biotinylated dextran amine. A dense corticothalamic projection from A1 was found in the ventral (vMGB) and dorsal (dMGB) divisions of the medial geniculate body and, to a lesser extent, in...

A novel and robust projection from gamma-aminobutyric acid-containing (GABAergic) inferior colliculus neurons to the media] geniculate body (MGB) was discovered in the cat using axoplasmic transport methods combined with immunocytochemistry. This input travels with the classical inferior colliculus projection to the MGB, and it is a direct ascending GABAergic pathway to the sensory thalamus tha...

Axon guidance molecules such as netrins, semaphorins, Slits and ephrins provide the cues required for accurate patterning of axonal projections in the nervous system. Recent reports have described multiple paradigms by which these molecules interact with integrin adhesion receptors in and outside the neuronal tissues.

A modulator of neurite outgrowth, designated S19159, was isolated from the fermentation broth of fungal strain 19159. This fungus was identified as the loculoascomycete, Preussia aemulans (Rehm) von Arx. In the presence of S19159, the number of neurites extending from the cell bodies of cerebral cortical neurons was markedly reduced. The effect of S19159 was observed specifically in neurons fro...
