In this paper, we propose a new scheme to represent threedimensional (3-D) dynamic scenes using a hierarchical decomposition of depth maps. In the hierarchical decomposition, we split a depth map into four types of images: regular mesh, boundary, feature point and number-oflayer (NOL) images. A regular mesh image is obtained by down-sampling a depth map. A boundary image is generated by gatheri...

The tumor suppressor p53 has been implicated in multiple functions that play key roles in health and disease, including ribosome biogenesis, control of aging, and cell cycle regulation. A genetic screen for negative regulators of innate immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans led to the identification of a mutation in NOL-6, a nucleolar RNA-associated protein (NRAP), which is involved in ribosome bi...

BACKGROUND Mobile health (mhealth) has emerged as a powerful resource in the medical armamentarium against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We sought to determine among adult caregivers of HIV-exposed/infected children; the extent of mobile phone ownership, the ability to communicate in Cameroon's national official languages (NOL), and the refusal to receive such reminders. METHO...
