Mohammed Abdel Ghani Dept. ofEE, S. Illinois University, Carbondale, IL A circuit for fast, compact and low-power focal-plane motion centroid localization is presented. This chip, which uses mixed signal CMOS components to implement photodetection, edge detection, ON-set detection and centroid localization, models the retina and superior colliculus. The centroid localization circuit uses time-w...

Solutions of recursive program schemes over a given signature Σ were characterized by Bruno Courcelle as precisely the context-free (or algebraic) Σ-trees. These are the finite and infinite Σ-trees yielding, via labelling of paths, context-free languages. Our aim is to generalize this to finitary endofunctors H of general categories: we construct a monad C “generated” by solutions of recursive ...

Glaucoma is now regarded as a neurodegenerative disorder. A number of theories including the mechanical and vascular models have been used to explain the pathogenesis of glaucoma. However, there is now increasing evidence of biochemical molecules which may play a part in it's causation. These biochemical mechanisms include the role of excitatory aminoacids, caspases, protein kinases, oxygen fre...

in the course of our faunistic survey on leafhoppers (hem.: cicadellidae) in northwestern iran, 46 species were collected and identified of which the species macrosteles chobauti ribaut, 1952 is newly recorded from iran. drs. hani abdul-nour (lebanese university, lebanon) and paul freytag (university of kentucky, usa) confirmed the identification of the species.

Limited antifungal drugs, their high toxicity, and the emergence of resistant Candida albicans strains indicate the need for novel therapeutic strategies. The objectives of this study were to prepare antibodies against C albicans in an egg-laying hen and evaluate the efficacy of these antibodies in preventing the dissemination of C albicans in BALB/c mice. An egg-laying hen was immunized with a...
