In order to identify good animal models for investigating therapeutic and preventive strategies for pancreatic cancer, we analyzed pancreatic lesions from several transgenic models and made a series of novel findings. Female MT-tgf alpha mice of the MT100 line developed pancreatic proliferation, acinar-ductal metaplasia, multilocular cystic neoplasms, ductal adenocarcinomas and prominent fibros...

Mormyrid electric fish have species- and sex-typical electric organ discharges (EODs). One class of tuberous electroreceptors, the knollenorgans, plays a critical role in electric communication; one function is species recognition of EOD waveforms. In this paper, we describe cell types in the knollenorgan central pathway, which appear responsible for analysis of the temporal patterns of spikes ...

On the basis that 89% of 48 acute-phase toxoplasmosis patients showed immunoglobulin M (IgM) class antibodies to the 35,000-molecular-weight antigenic component (p35000) of Toxoplasma gondii, as demonstrated by IgM immunoblotting, the antigen was purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation and enzyme labeled for use in an enzyme-linked antigen immunosorbent assay (ELA) for the demonstration of ...

The motivation and the basic issues for designing the multi-paradigm programming system ELa is presented. In the ELa system different styles of programming (functional, logic and object-oriented) is permitted. The system is currently under development at the Institute of Mathematics in Novi Sad. At this phase of realization, the part which enables the combining the functional and object-oriente...

A motion adaptive de-interlacing algorithm and its hardware architecture are presented in this paper. It consists of the directional interpolation ELA with median processing, and 4-field horizontal motion detection. The edges can be sharper while the ELA with median processing is adopted. Enhanced ELA with median processing can prevent the happening of the bursting pixels. Proposed 4-field hori...
