To create the CREST antibody, We used PCR to amplify full-length crest cDNA from P0 mouse brain total RNA and cloned it into pET21 vector for expression of His-tagged CREST protein in bacteria. After isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside induction, CREST protein was mainly collected in the inclusion body...

Bone collagen is a well-characterized and generally robust protein that plays a key role in both radiometric dating and stable isotopic reconstruction of paleodiet. To be useful for such purposes, however, analyzed collagen must be relatively taphonomically unaltered. To date, little research has been conducted to document the taphonomic fate of bone collagen from archaeological sites in the tr...

The radiometric normalization of multi-temporal satellite optical images of the same terrain is necessary for land cover change detection e.g. relative differences. In previous studies, ground reference data or pseudo invariant features (PIFs) were used in the radiometric rectification of multi-temporal images. Ground reference data are costly and difficult to acquire for most satellite remotel...

Lidar data provide both geometric and radiometric information. Radiometric information is influenced by sensor and target factors and should be calibrated to obtain consistent energy responses. The radiometric correction of airborne lidar system (ALS) converts the amplitude into a backscatter cross-section with physical meaning value by applying a model-driven approach. The radiometric correcti...

1. Fully automated inhibition screens for the major human hepatic cytochrome P450s have been developed and validated. Probe assays were the fluorometric-based ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation for CYP1A2 and radiometric analysis of erythromycin N-demethylation for CYP3A4, dextromethorphan O-demethylation for CYP2D6, naproxen O-demethylation for CYP2C9 and diazepam N-demethylation for CYP2C19. For ...

Using satellite imagery for the study of Earth's resources is attended by manyresearchers. In fact, the various phenomena have different spectral response inelectromagnetic radiation. One major application of satellite data is the classification ofland cover. In recent years, a number of classification algorithms have been developed forclassification of remote sensing data. One of the most nota...

An investigation of the application of 1-m Ikonos satellite imagery to 3D point positioning and building reconstruction is reported. The focus of the evaluation of Geo panchromatic imagery has been upon 3D positioning accuracy, radiometric quality and attributes of the image data for building feature extraction. Following an initial review of characteristics of the Ikonos system, the multi-imag...

Generating seamless mosaics of aerial images is a particularly challenging task when the mosaic comprises a large number of images, collected over longer periods of time and with different sensors under varying imaging conditions. Such large mosaics typically consist of very heterogeneous image data, both spatially (different terrain types and atmosphere) and temporally (unstable atmospheric pr...
