Deep network-based image Compressed Sensing (CS) has attracted much attention in recent years. However, the existing deep CS schemes either reconstruct target a block-by-block manner that leads to serious block artifacts or train network as black box brings about limited insights of prior knowledge. In this paper, novel framework using non-local neural (NL-CSNet) is proposed, which utilizes sel...

Lamins, the major structural components of the nuclear lamina (NL) found beneath the nuclear envelope, are known to interact with most of the nuclear peripheral chromatin in metazoan cells. Although NL-chromatin associations correlate with a repressive chromatin state, the role of lamins in tethering chromatin to NL and how such tether influences gene expression have remained challenging to dec...

Caspase-3 is a cysteine protease that is most commonly associated with cell death. Recent studies have shown additional roles in mediating cell differentiation, cell proliferation and development of cell morphology. We investigated the role of caspase-3 in the development of chick auditory brainstem nuclei during embryogenesis. Immunofluorescence from embryonic days E6-13 revealed that the temp...

The avian auditory brainstem nuclei nucleus magnocellularis (NM) and nucleus laminaris (NL) display highly precise patterns of neuronal connectivity. NM projects tonotopically to the dorsal dendrites of ipsilateral NL neurons and to the ventral dendrites of contralateral NL neurons. The precision of this binaural segregation is evident at the earliest developmental stage at which connections ca...

Sir, Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) was first described by Oppenheim in 1929. NL is a granulomatous skin disease with association with diabetes mellitus (DM) in 10–40% of cases, but less than 1% of patients with DM develop NL. Additional risk factors for NL include other granulomatous diseases, such as granuloma anulare (GA), sarcoidosis, colitis ulcerosa and Crohn’s disease. Middleaged women are m...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator, is present in the exhaled air of humans. We wished to quantify NO production in patients with abnormalities of the pulmonary circulation. PARTICIPANTS Nine patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), six with pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and 20 normal volunteers were studied. INTERVENTIONS All subjects were studied at rest and du...

This paper describes HERMETO, a computational environment for fully-automatic, both syntactic and semantic, natural language analysis and understanding. HERMETO converts lists into networks and has been used to enconvert Brazilian Portuguese and English sentences into Universal Networking Language (UNL) hypergraphs.

Nanoporous lithium doping magnesium silicate (nl-MS) was introduced into calcium sulfate hemihydrate to prepare calcium sulfate composite (nl-MSC) bone cements. The introduction of nl-MS improved the in vitro degradability of nl-MSC cements, which could neutralize acidic degradable products of calcium sulfate and prevented the pH from dropping. The cements were implanted into the bone defects o...
