Software supported art projects are increasing in numbers in recent years as artists are exploring how computing can be used to create new forms of live art. Interactive sound installation is one kind of art in this genre. In this article we present the development process and functional description of Sonic Onyx, an interactive sound installation. The objective is to show, through the life cyc...

BACKGROUND Although antiretroviral treatment (ART) has led to a decline in morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected patients in developed countries, it has also presented challenges. These challenges include increases in pill burden; adherence to treatment; development of resistance and treatment failure; development of drug toxicities; and increase in cost of HIV treatment and care. These issue...

objective: the appropriate interaction between a blastocyst and the endometrium is essential for successful implantation. numerous factors, including hormone receptors (progesterone receptor), cytokines [leukemia inhibitory factors (lif)], and adherence molecules such as e-cadherin are involved in the cross-talk that occurs between the embryo and endometrium. studies show that a lack of these g...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether methotrexate (MTX) compromises ovarian reserve and future reproductive outcome in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), when it is used as first-line treatment for ectopic pregnancy (EP). DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING University-affiliated private IVF unit. PATIENT(S) Twenty-five women undergoing IVF-ICSI who were treated...

Research evidence for the benefits of arts integration is mounting. The purpose of this study was to determine if integration of the arts was an effective strategy for teaching the water cycle to kindergarten students. The study included lessons that supported both a science and an engineering standard of the Next Generation Science Standards and national arts standards. The phenomenological st...

Evolutionary art has a long and distinguished history, and genetic programming is one of only a handful of AI techniques which is used in graphic design and the visual arts. A recent trend in so-called ‘new media’ art is to design online pieces which are dynamic and have an element of interaction and sometimes simple game-playing aspects. This defines the challenge addressed here: to automatica...

The androgen receptor (AR) directs diverse biological processes through interaction with coregulators such as AR trapped clone-27 (ART-27). Our results show that ART-27 is recruited to AR-binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis. In addition, the effect of ART-27 on genomewide transcription was examined. The studies indicate that loss of ART-27 enhances expression of many androge...
