Carpal chip fractures are common causes of lameness in racehorses. Due to disadvantages in surgical management, adjuvant treatment modalities are usually necessary. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the potential to differentiate into other cell types including bone and cartilage cells. Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is produced during ADSCs isolation from adipose tissue....

The interpretation of ChIP-chip data poses two computational challenges: first, what can be termed primary statistical analysis, which includes quality assessment, data normalization and transformation, and the calling of regions of interest; second, integrative bioinformatic analysis, which interprets the data in the context of existing genome annotation and of related experimental results obt...

There has been a recent upsurge of interest in applying Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) techniques to optical networks. Conventional spreading codes for OCDMA, known as optical orthogonal codes (OOC) spread the signal in the time domain only, which often results in the requirement of a large chip rate. By spreading in both time and wavelength using two-dimensional OOCs, the chip rate can b...

In this paper, we describe new vision chip architecture, which enables simultaneous output of multi-target positions. This architecture selects targets that don’t overlap at each other in the direction of the column and extracts the target positions simultaneously. Thanks to this simultaneous output, the vision chip based on the architecture can obtain many target positions at high-speed. On th...

In many genomic studies, one works with genome-positiondependent data, e.g., ChIP-chip or ChIP-Seq scores. Using conventional tools, it can be difficult to get a good feel for the data, especially the distribution of features. This article argues that the socalled Hilbert-curve visualisation can complement genome browsers and help to get further insights into the structure of one’s data. This i...
