Coordination of membrane deformation and cytoskeletal dynamics lies at the heart of many biological processes critical for cell polarity, motility and morphogenesis. We have recently shown that Slit-Robo GTPase-activating protein 2 (srGAP2) regulates neuronal morphogenesis through the ability of its F-BAR domain to regulate membrane deformation and induce filopodia formation. Here, we demonstra...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of trenched zirconia bar on the von mises stress distribution of ips -empress ii core ceramics.the three-dimensional model including a three-unit bridge from the second premolar to the second molar was designed. the model was reinforced with zirconia bar (zb), zirconia bar with vertical trench (vzb) and zirconia bar with horizontal trench (hzb) ...

The availability of camera phones provides people with a mobile platform for decoding bar codes, whereas conventional scanners lack mobility. However, using a normal camera phone in such applications is challenging due to the out-of-focus problem. In this paper, we present the research effort on the bar code reading algorithms using a VGA camera phone, NOKIA 7650. EAN-13, a widely used 1D bar c...

We introduce a variant of Spector’s bar recursion (called “modified bar recursion”) in finite types to give a realizability interpretation of the classical axiom of countable choice allowing for the extraction of witnesses from proofs of Σ1 formulas in classical analysis. As a second application of modified bar recursion we present a bar recursive definition of the fan functional. Moreover, we ...
