The technology of mobile laser scanning (MLS) has developed rapidly in recent years. This speedy development is evidenced by the emergence of a variety of MLS systems in commercial market and academic institutions. However, the producers tend to supply the specifications of the individual sensors in a generic sense, and this is not enough for guiding the choice of a MLS system for a specific ap...

Variants in NDUFB11, which encodes a structural component of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), were recently independently reported to cause histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (histiocytoid CM) and microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome (MLS syndrome). Here we report an additional case of histiocytoid CM, which carries a de novo nonsense variant in NDUFB11 (ENST00000276...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder, which has a complex genetic predisposition. The ratio of males to females affected by autism is approximately 4:1, suggesting that sex specific factors are involved in its development. We reported previously the results of a genomewide screen for autism susceptibility loci in 83 affected sibling pairs (ASP), and follow up an...

This paper brie y describes ongoing research at GMU on the problem of designing and implementing multilevel databases. In a nutshell the objective of our research is to close the semantic gap between sophisticated requirements of MLS applications and the relatively meager facilities provided by emerging MLS DBMS products. There is a missing links in previous research in the MLS database arena. ...

This paper proposes a three–dimensional (3D) local boundary element model based on meshless moving least squares (MLS) method for ultrasonic wave propagation fractional order value problems of functionally graded anisotropic (FGA) fiber-reinforced plates. The problem domain is split into several circular sub-domains. nodal points are randomly distributed across the examined region. Each node fo...

Brock’s syndrome or middle lobe (MLS) is chronic recurrent collapse of right due to causes which may be obstructive non obstructive. The pathogenesis not completely understood. An expert committee the world health organization defined cor pulmonale as hypertrophy ventricle resulting from diseases affecting function and/or structure lungs.” Cor a common heart disease and leading cause disability...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Low doses of aspirin can injure the gastric mucosa. It is not clear whether other drugs such as the antiplatelet agent clopidogrel also cause gastric mucosal injury or exacerbate aspirin-induced injury, or whether proton pump inhibitors prevent damage. METHODS Twenty Japanese subjects with different CYP2C19 genotypes were randomly assigned to groups that were given a low dos...

We have recently shown that recognition of the mouse mammary tumor virus 9-associated superantigen (vSAG-9) by murine V beta 17+ T cells is strongly influenced by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II haplotype of the presenting cells, resulting in a form of MHC-restricted recognition. This finding was unexpected, because T cell recognition of another well-characterized retroviral...

High quality sedimentary measurements are required for studying fluvial geomorphology and hydrological processes e.g., flood and river dynamics. Mobile laser scanning (MLS) currently provides the opportunity to achieve high precision measurements of coarse fluvial sediments in a large survey area. Our study aims to investigate the capability of single-track MLS data for individual particle-base...
