Fusion of bilateral shelves, to form the definitive mammalian secondary palate, is critically dependent on removal of the medial edge cells that constitute the midline epithelial seam. Conflicting views suggest that programmed apoptotic death or epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of these cells is predominantly involved. Due in part to the potentially ambiguous interpretation of static image...

Strata control of ultrasoft coal seam has been a critical problem for mining and geotechnical engineers in years. In this paper, the No. 66207 longwall panel at Xinzhuangzi mine, Anhui, China, was used as an example study. A systematic approach using laboratory testing, numerical simulation, field validation implemented to investigate influences roadway layout presplit blasting on mechanical pr...

in advance longwall mining, the safety of mine network, production rate, and consequently, economic conditions of a mine are dependent on the stability conditions of gate roadways. the gate roadway stability is a function of two important factors: 1) characteristics of the excavation damaged zone (edz) above the gate roadway and 2) loading effect due to the caving zone (cz) above the longwall w...

Gradient Blending method is used to crosscorrelate the different images by varying the intensity. Content-aware image resizing technique allows to obtain the visual content of the images by enriching the salient information in different aspect of ratio. Seam carving is a simple image operator that can change the size of an image either by carving out or by inserting pixel in different part of t...

BACKGROUND A new image-resizing method using seam carving and a Saliency Strength Map (SSM) is proposed to preserve important contents, such as white blood cells included in blood cell images. METHODS To apply seam carving to cell images, a SSM is initially generated using a visual attention model and the structural properties of white blood cells are then used to create an energy map for sea...

The heterochronic genes lin-4, lin-14, lin-28, and lin-29 specify the timing of lateral hypodermal seam cell terminal differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans. We devised a screen to identify additional genes involved in this developmental timing mechanism based on identification of mutants that exhibit temporal misexpression from the col-19 promoter, a downstream target of the heterochronic g...

Human collaboration applications and distributed systems are expected to beneet from a group multicast service, both in terms of performance and design simm plicity. We argue that such a service must be scalable both in the number of potential senders and receivers. The success of ATM will in part depend on the availl ability of an eecient group multicast service. We provide a brief description...

Enterprise architecture management (EAM) provides information about an enterprise and its information systems landscape for thorough analysis. Semantic technologies allow for integrating data sets from various relevant information sources within enterprises in a so-called EA repository, which serves as a comprehensive formal information base for EAM. We call this approach Semantic Enterprise Ar...

Laser welding has a quite high demand on trajectory accuracy of articulated robot. To improve dynamic trajectory accuracy of articulated robots for laser welding, a novel 3D seam tracking method is proposed based on stereo visual feedback control. The method constructs a visual feedback control system with two convergent cameras mounted at the end of industrial robot. A tool coordinate system i...
