Resolution of acute inflammation is an active process locally controlled by a novel genus of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) that orchestrate key resolution responses. Hence, it is of general interest to identify individual bioactive mediators and profile their biosynthetic pathways with related isomers as well as their relation(s) to classic eicosanoids in mammalian tissues. Lipid me...

With excellent thermal conductivity and unique two-dimensional structure, the graphene heat dissipation film (GHDF) has been a potential photoacoustic (PA) material for multiple applications. In this study, we apply GHDF into laser ultrasonic detection of seismic physical model (SPM). The PA effect is theoretically analyzed experimentally demonstrated. physically attached to upper surface SPM, ...

In the recent digital age, support vector machines (SVMs) that use a spatial pyramid matching (SPM) kernel have been around the globe for image classification. Although this is popular, there exists many problems in its use; for examples, nonlinear SVMs have a high complexity in training and testing. Applying the algorithms to big datasets, which holds many images, greater than a thousand is a ...

Substrate activities of various linear polyamines to human spermine oxidase (hSMO) were investigated. The activities were evaluated by monitoring the amount of H2O2 released from sample polyamines by hSMO. H2O2 was measured by a HPLC method that analyzed fluorescent dimers derived from the oxidation of homovanillic acid in the presence of horseradish peroxidase. Six triamines were tested and we...

Wavelet-based analysis versus Gaussian smoothing in statistical parametric mapping (SPM) for detecting and analyzing brain activity from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is presented. Detection of activation in fMRI data can be performed in the wavelet domain by a coefficient-wise statistical t-test. The link between the wavelet analysis and SPM is based on two observations: (i...

Fiber Optic Communication System is undoubtedly the most prospective system as it can provide huge bandwidth comparative to other existing communication system i.e. high frequency microwave transmission. But fiber optic communication system suffers from fiber loss, different dispersive effects like Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD), Material Dispersion and Waveguide Dispersion and nonlinear effec...
