Coated vesicle transport occurs in the cytosol of yeast, mammals and plants. It consists of three different transport systems, the COPI, COPII and clathrin coated vesicles (CCV), all of which participate in the transfer of proteins and lipids between different cytosolic compartments. There are also indications that chloroplasts have a vesicle transport system. Several putative chloroplast-local...

Successive stimuli of constant intensity applied to Ia afferents produce spinal monosynaptic reflexes (MSRs) of variable amplitude. We recorded simultaneous MSRs in the left and right L7 (or L6) ventral roots of anesthetized cats. We analyzed the cross-covariance (CCV) between the amplitudes of bilateral MSRs. Long-time series (5 to 8 h) of these bilateral MSRs exhibited transitory changes in t...

The two most commonly used methods for obtaining crosstable lateral radiographs of the cervical spine are the conventional cross-table view (CCV) and the swimmer's view (SV). Shapiro [1) reported that another prone cross-table view, obtained with the shoulders elevated from the table, may facilitate visualization of the lower cervical spine. To our knowledge, this latter technique, which we cal...

In this paper, a new algorithm called wavelet correlogram-CCV (W3C) for contentbased image indexing and retrieval is presented. W3C is an extension of wavelet correlogram that utilizes color coherence vectors (CCV) to consider texture information in addition to the shape for gray-level images. Additionally, a new distance measure that is optimized by genetic algorithms is proposed. The retrieva...

BACKGROUND Ethical conflicts are arising as a result of the growing complexity of clinical care, coupled with technological advances. Most studies that have developed instruments for measuring ethical conflict base their measures on the variables 'frequency' and 'degree of conflict'. In our view, however, these variables are insufficient for explaining the root of ethical conflicts. Consequentl...

The coat proteins of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) spontaneously self-assemble in vitro, but, in vivo, their self-assembly must be regulated. To determine whether phosphorylation might influence coat formation in the cell, the in vivo phosphorylation state of CCV coat proteins was analyzed. Individual components of the CCV coat were isolated by immunoprecipitation from Madin-Darby bovine kidne...

Both dictionary-based and rule-based methods on grapheme-to-phoneme conversion have their own advantages and limitations. For example, a large sized phonetic dictionary and complex morphophonemic rules are required for the dictionary-based method and the LTS(letter to sound) rule-based method itself cannot model the complete morphophonemic constraints. This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme...
