Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...

LMO (LIM-only) and LIM-HD (LIM-homeodomain) proteins form a family of proteins that is required for myriad developmental processes and which can contribute to diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and breast cancer. The four LMO and 12 LIM-HD proteins in mammals are expressed in a combinatorial manner in many cell types, forming a transcriptional 'LIM code'. The proteins all contain a pair of close...

LIM domains are found in a variety of proteins, including cytoplasmic and nuclear LIM-only proteins, LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) transcription factors and LIM-kinases. Although the ability of LIM domains to interact with other proteins has been clearly established in vitro and in cultured cells, their in vivo function is unknown. Here we use Drosophila to test the roles of the LIM domains of the L...

This paper presents a sensorless system drive on primary flux oriented control (PFOC) and secondary flux oriented control (SFOC) for the linear induction motor (LIM) with taking into account end effect. Extended kalman filter (EKF) is applied to estimate LIM speed by measuring motor voltages and currents. In order to achieve desirable dynamic and robustness motor performance instead of traditio...

Keloids are proliferative growths of dermal collagen, usually resulting from excessive tissue response during wound healing. There is evidence that keratinocytes may promote keloidogenesis via epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Metallothioneins (MTs) are known to be involved in the fundamental cellular processes of growth and apoptosis. In this study, we evaluated the expression of MT isoform...
