Eigen-points estimates the image-plane locations of fiduciary points on an objects. By estimating multiple locations simultaneously, eigen-points exploits the interdependence between these locations. This is done by associating neighboring, inter-dependent control-points with a model of the local appearance. The model of local appearance is used to find the feature in new unlabeled images. Cont...

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States, accounting for 30,000 deaths annually. It is a deadly disease with a 5-year survival of only 3–5% (1). The diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is devastating to patients and their families, because the diagnosis is usually made at a late stage of disease that is not amenable to cancer c...

Translation elongation factor 1P (EF-lP) catalyzes the exchange of bound GDP for GTP on EF-la. The lethality of a null allele of the TW5 gene encoding EF-lP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was suppressed by extra copies of the TW2 gene encoding EF-la. The strains with tefs::TRPl suppressed by extra copies of TEF2 were slow growing, cold sensitive, hypersensitive to inhibitors of translation elongat...

Preprocessors with conditionals are often used as software configuration management tools, with preprocessor variables naming configuration aspects. The preprocessor conditionals found in large systems often have complex enabling Boolean equations and nesting. Over long periods, some configuration aspects lose all utility. Removal of all traces of a configuration variable and code dependent on ...

Multiplexed diffraction gratings were recorded in 300 μm thick layers of biophotopol photopolymer by using two peristrophic multiplexing schemes separately and in combination. In addition, it was shown that riboflavin may be used as polymer initiator in acrylamide photopolymer films and the holographic properties of these films such as diffraction efficiency and dynamic range were compared with...

This paper describes the EPA nonroad mobile source emissions model now under development. The NONROAD model, as it is called, will be released in a beta version in early 1998, and then in final version in late summer 1998. The current working version of the model estimates emissions from nonroad agricultural, construction, industrial, recreational marine, and lawn and garden equipment; emission...
