This paper presents a method for real-time rendering of a neocortical column in the mouse brain with 10000 individually simulated neurons, as implemented in the software GabrielStudio (TM). It also presents how the same system is used to create movie sequences of scripted camera keyframes for high resolution outputs. The current system is running on an SGI Altix Prism Extreme with 16 parallel g...

Since the introduction of catalysts and reagents on solid-support, researchers have developed new reaction systems to take advantage of their insoluble nature by designing multistep reaction sequences, high-throughput purification techniques, and combinatorial synthesis methods. The continuous flow system is one of these advancements and represents the foundation of a new technique termed seque...

It has recently been shown that a class of secreted proteins — the Dickkopfs — are released by the Spemann organizer of Xenopus and are potent antagonists of Wnt signaling [1]. Although it has been reported that the Dickkopf (Dkk) proteins contain two cysteine-rich domains, no direct functional or structural conclusions have been drawn from their sequences. The role of Wnt signaling in animal d...

We consider orthogonal upward drawings of directed acyclic graphs with nodes of uniform width but node-specific height. One way to draw such graphs is to use a layering technique as provided by the Sugiyama framework [34]. To overcome one of the drawbacks of the Sugiyama Framework, namely, unnecessary edge crossings caused by an unfortunate layer assignment of the nodes, Chimani et al. integrat...

This Letter makes some observations about [2] that further support the distinction between an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) and an interval-valued fuzzy set (IV FS), points out that all operations, methods and systems that have been developed and published about IT2 FSs are, so far, only valid in the special case when IT2 FS = IVFS, and suggests some research opportunities.

This paper considers the problem of estimation and identification with bounded uncertainties in the data and system matrices. In particular, we will examine how to solve the Ax ≈ b when we have bounds on the errors of column blocks of A in the min max sense. Error bounds on column blocks of the system matrix A are caused by numerous situations, such as different sensor or parameter uncertaintie...

Inheritance powder is the name that was given to poisons, especially arsenic, that were commonly used in the 17th and early 18th centuries to hasten the death of the elderly. For most of the 17th century, arsenic was deadly but undetectable, making it nearly impossible to prove that someone had been poisoned. The first arsenic test produced a gas—hardly something that a scientist could show to ...

This document describes an implementation of a Column Generation algorithm using GAMS. The well-known cutting stock problem is used as an example.
