The growth of Streptococcus mutants Ingbritt in continuous culture at low pH or high growth rates repressed the biosynthesis of the components of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). The cellular concentrations of the soluble components HPr, enzyme I (EI), and EIII for mannose (IIIman) and EII activity for glucose, mannose, 2-deoxyglucose (2DG), and fructose were deter...

This paper describes a GPU implementation for simultaneous camera ego-motion compensation and lens undistortion. The main idea is to transform the image under an ego-motion constraint so that tracked points in the image, that are assumed to come from the ego-motion, maps as close as possible to their average position in time. The lens undistortion is computed simultaneously. We compare the perf...
