Dissociation of medial-edge epithelium (MEE) during palate development is essential for mediating correct craniofacial morphogenesis. This phenomenon is initiated by TGFbeta3 upon adherence of opposing palatal shelves, because loss of E-cadherin causes the MEE seam to break into small epithelial islands. To investigate the molecular mechanisms that cause this E-cadherin loss, we isolated and cu...

BACKGROUND Zajonc showed that the attitude towards stimuli that one had been previously exposed to is more positive than towards novel stimuli. This mere exposure effect (MEE) has been tested extensively using various visual stimuli. Research on the MEE is sparse, however, for other sensory modalities. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We used objects of two material categories (stone and wood) ...

The sun spot time series is a random series generated with a complicated nonlinear system. Time delay neural networks (TDNN) are typical nonlinear systems that could be used to perform time series prediction. In this project, we applied the TDNN trained with both MSE and MEE criteria to predict the time series. Both criteria showed the effectiveness of the nonlinear systems. Furthermore, the TD...

As the aerospace industry is moving towards the More Electric Aircraft, there is a growing demand for electrical power to feed the increasing electrical loads in the aircraft. More Electric Aircraft (MEA) and More Electric Engine (MEE) are terms that are sometimes mistakenly being used interchangeably, but that are actually very different. This paper outlines some of the issues that have been c...

OBJECTIVE One current practice guideline recommends myringotomy with tympanostomy tube insertion (M&T) for young children in whom middle-ear effusion (MEE) has persisted for 3 months, and another recommends the procedure after MEE has persisted for 4 to 6 months provided that a bilateral hearing loss of > or=20 dB is present. Sequelae of M&T are not uncommon, but the extent to which these seque...

In this paper we introduce an empirical study of multimodal cues of turn-taking dynamics in a social interaction context. We first identify pauses, gaps and overlapped speech segments in the dyadic conversation dataset. Second, we define two types of measurements, Mean Equalized Energy (MEE) and Animation Level (AL) on the audio and video channels, respectively. Then, we verify the hypothesis t...

In this study, we demonstrated that analyzed strains of Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio cholerae could be separated in two groups by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) data from 14 loci. We also showed that the combination of four enzymatic loci enables us to differentiate these two species. Our results showed that the ribosomal intergenic spacer regions PCR-mediated identification system ...

Abstract Noise and interference are the two most common basic problems in wireless communication systems. The noise channels has characteristics of randomness impulsivity, so performance adaptive filtering algorithms based on geometric algebra (GA) second-order statistics is greatly reduced In order to improve systems, this paper proposes novel GA-based algorithms, which deduced from robust min...

Bu çalışmada, dördüncü mertebeden lineer olmayan, magneto-elektro-elastik (MEE) çubuktaki yalnız gezen dalgalara karşılık gelen MEE kısmi diferensiyel denklemi ele alındı. Denklemin gezici dalga çözümlerini araştırmak için, F-açılım metodu kullanıldı. Metodun içerdiği farklı durumlar için Jacobi eliptik fonksiyonlar yardımı ile tam çözümler oluşturuldu. m→0 trigonometrik, m→1 hiperbolik ve bunl...
