The VizlerControl project aims at the development of a standardized, module-based environment for hardware device control. The term Vizler stands for video analyzer. The name points at the underlying intention of the project: controlling devices based on the information provided by (video and photo cameras). The VizlerControl system consists of a pipeline of modules. Figure 1 depicts the module...

A chitinase gene from the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus was amplified from the genomic DNA of the fungus, by PCR technique. The PCR product was cloned into pXcmkn12 vector by TA cloning technique and sequenced. The gene contained five introns and six exons. The deduced protein sequence coded for 390 amino acids and exhibited very high degree of similarity to other endochitinases ...

tive way to improve the performance of recognizers. This paper describe a speaker-independent isolated word recognition system which uses a well known technique, the combination of vector quantization with hidden Markov modeling. The conventional vector quantization algorithm is substituted by a statistical clustering algorithm, the ExpectationMaximization algorithm, in this system. Based on th...

Abstract Backgrounds Aniso-astigmatism may hinder normal visual development in preschool children. Knowing its prevalence, biometric parameters and risk factors is fundamental to children eye care. The purpose of this study was determine the components aniso-astigmatism associated maternal Chinese Methods In population-based, prospective cohort Nanjing Eye Study, were measured for noncycloplegi...

The central mathematical problem studied in this work is the estimation of quadratic form $x^TA^{-1}x$ for a given symmetric positive definite matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and vector $x \mathbb{R}^n$. Several methods to estimate without computing inverse are proposed. precision estimates analyzed both analytically numerically.

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci consist of two genes in an operon, encoding a stable toxin and an unstable antitoxin. The expression of toxin leads to cell growth arrest and sometimes bacterial death, while the antitoxin prevents the cytotoxic activity of the toxin. In this study, we show that the chromosome of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, carries 10 putative TA modules and two sol...

Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) is a useful tool for endogenous site-directed genome modification. The development of an easier, less expensive and repeatedly usable construction method for various sequences of ZFNs should contribute to the further widespread use of this technology. Here, we establish a novel construction method for ZFNs. Zinc finger (ZF) fragments were synthesized by PCR using shor...
