Graphic artists have a wide variety of applications to use for digital painting. Although each application has its own solution to enhance the user experience, most of them rely on the same standard feature; a single brush, which is completely dependent on user input for location. Although this is required for a fully controlled painting process, making small changes on this feature yields unpr...

Using whole chromosome painting probes for human chromosomes 3,7,8,13,17 and 21 and X and the probe pHY2.1 for the Y chromosome coupled with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, the distribution of chromosomes is reported in nuclei of Sertoli cells of the adult testis and in stimulated blood lymphocytes. The distribution of chromosomes in the two cell types is significantly differ...

Desmodillus and Gerbilliscus (formerly Tatera) comprise a monophyletic group of gerbils (subfamily Gerbillinae) which last shared an ancestor approximately 8 million years ago; diploid chromosome number variation among the species ranges from 2n = 36 to 2n = 50. In an attempt to shed more light on chromosome evolution and speciation in these rodents, we compared the karyotypes of 7 species, rep...

We report a 16-year-old girl who presented with short stature and amenorrhea. Initially the cytogenetic analysis showed the presence of a mosaic non-Robertsonian dicentric chromosome involving chromosomes 14 and 19. Subsequent molecular cytogenetic analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using whole chromosome paints, centromeric probes, as well as gene specific probes confirmed t...

Currently, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is widely used to assess the localization of genetic elements in tissues, nuclei of cultured cells, and spreads of metaphase chromosomes. The advent of commercially available probes and labelling kits for whole or partial chromosome painting and pathogenetically important gene loci has allowed FISH to enter routine work. Still, however, FISH p...

BACKGROUND The t(14;22) remains one of the rare Robertsonian translocations observed in human, with an occurrence estimated at 1.2%. Three cases of rare Robertsonian translocation t(14;22) were investigated for meiotic segregation in sperm samples from male carriers using the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure. The three carriers included two men with an abnormal semen analysis ...

Implicit painting is a non-photorealistic rendering method for painting implicitly represented CSG solids. The method is based on the fact that when a difference equation is applied to a set of particles these particles will move in 3D space. We view the motion of the particles as the motion of the hands of several painters and the trajectories of the particles as long unbroken brush strokes, o...

The Maya area is well endowed with cave art, one of the rarest art forms known in the world. Over 25 caves with paintings and handprints have been documented in a recent survey by the author, and an undetermined additional number contain carvings. In this paper, I outline regional differences in the corpus. For example, cave painting in the Puuc area of western Yucatan has a relatively coherent...

nature has great importance on prehistoric human life and attention to the environment and discovering mysteries of life which influence their life, always have been considered as concerns of prehistoric people. the elements such as water, wind and earth for primary human were important elements because of no awareness of environment in primary stages of sedentary life. human beings always trie...

We present a novel painting system for 3D objects. In order to overcome parameterization problems of existing applications, we propose a unified sample-based approach to represent geometry and appearance of the 3D object as well as the brush surface. The generalization of 2D pixel-based paint models to point samples allows us to elegantly simulate paint transfer for 3D objects. In contrast to m...
