Motion computation in scenes having multiple moving objects is performed together with object segmen-tation by using a temporal integration approach. Using an accurate 2D motion estimate for image regions, they can be enhanced by fusing all successive frames covering the same region. Enhancement includes improvement of image resolution and lling-in occluded regions. It is also shown how an accu...

We have developed a general approach to generate selective small-molecule switches for zinc finger transcription factors based on the notion of structural complementation. A small molecule, 2-(4'-quinoline)benzimidazole (7), was identified by screening of a heterocycle library, which functionally rescues a structurally compromised transcription factor C7-F116A/H125G-VP16. Compound 7 induces the...

Instead of using conventional electron lithography, a two-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of a hexagonal array of triangular air-holes was created on the surface of a GaN LED substrate using microsphere lithography. The microspheres self-assemble into a single-layered hexagonal-close-packed array acting as an etch mask. A significant enhancement in photoluminescence intensity was record...

Biofertilizer Ning shield was composed of different strains of plant growth promotion bacteria. In this study, the plant growth promotion and root-knot nematode disease control potential on Trichosanthes kirilowii in the field were evaluated. The application of Ning shield significantly reduced the diseases severity caused by Meloidogyne incognita, the biocontrol efficacy could reached up to 51...

The effect of low concentrations of heavy univalent Cs' and Iimpurities on the low-temperature heat capacity of KC1 gives an enhancement in the heat capacity. This anomalous behaviour has been explained on the basis of a low concentration Green's function theory. A localized perturbation model which includes mass change at the impurity site as well as changes in the nearest neighbour radial for...

Photonic crystal modes can be tailored for increasing light matter interactions and light extraction efficiencies. These PhC properties have been explored for improving the device performance of LEDs, solar cells and precision biosensors. Tuning the extended band structure of 2D PhC provides a means for increasing light extraction throughout a planar device. This requires careful design and fab...

Surfactants are often used to improve the solubility of a compound for dissolution studies in aqueous media. Having observed non-linear enhancement with increasing surfactant concentration, this study investigated effect poorly soluble, zwitterionic, moderately lipophilic drug, Compound A, on critical micelle concentration (CMC)of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) phosphate buffer. A force tensiomete...
