Phosphophoryn (PP) is generated from the proteolytic cleavage of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). Gene duplications in the ancestor dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1) genomic sequence created the DSPP gene in toothed animals. PP and DMP-1 are phosphorylated extracellular matrix proteins that belong to the family of small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoproteins (SIBLINGs). Many SIBLING mem...

This paper presents an automatic method for exudate detection from colour fundus images based on Differential Morphological Profile (DMP).The detection of exudates is important for the identification of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. The method involves of three main phases. In the first phase, pre processing tasks like Gaussian smoothing and contrast enhancement is done. In the sec...

Increasing network choice and service diversity makes choosing the best transport network for a particular communication difficult. A freely operating market has the potential to solve this problem, and the Mobile VCE’s Digital Marketplace (DMP) is an example of such a system. Short term service contracts can be tendered to network operators in a dynamic and competitive manner down to a call le...

This paper presents a unified approach to automatically build dynamic and multi-resolution 360° panoramic (DMP) representations from image sequences captured by hand-held cameras mainly undertaking rotation and zooming for natural scenes with moving targets. A simple (yet stable) rigid motion model and a closed-loop-based mosaicing algorithm are proposed to generate cylindrical mosaics automati...

We propose DMP-tree, a dynamic M-way prefix tree, data structure for the string matching problem in general and prefix matching in particular. DMP-tree has been initially devised for fast and efficiently handling prefix matching which constitutes the building block of some applications in the computer realm and related area. It is assumed there are strings of an alphabet R which are ordered. Th...

BACKGROUND The primary aim of the disease management program (DMP) for patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 is to improve the quality of health care and the treatment process. 12 years after its introduction in Germany, there is still no consensus as to whether DMP has been effective in reaching these goals. METHODS A retrospective longitudinal population-based study between 2004 and 2015 w...

Phthalate esters (PEs), especially di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were detected in various water samples such as river water, well water and tap water. On degradation tests of PEs, Tempaku River water degraded almost 100% of diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-isobutyl phthalate and DBP, and approximately 70% of DEHP. All eight isolates from Tempaku River water (R1-R7...

Metaplastic cell lineages are putative precursors for the development of gastric adenocarcinoma. The loss of parietal cells (oxyntic atrophy) is the initiating step in the evolution of gastric fundic mucosal lineage changes including metaplasia and hyperplasia. However, the intrinsic mucosal factors that promote and modulate the emergence of metaplastic phenotypes remain obscure. Over the past ...

Abstract In this work, we propose a novel framework for generalizing desired trajectory pattern, encoded using Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP), subject to kinematic constraints. DMP have been extensively used in robotics encoding and reproducing behaviours, thanks their generalization, stability robustness properties. However, incorporating constraints has not yet fully addressed. To end, des...
