In this paper, a new technique called Two Dimensional Gabor Fisher Discriminant (2DGFD) is derived and implemented for image representation and recognition. In our approach, the Gabor wavelets are used to extract facial features. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied directly on the Gabor transformed matrices to remove redundant information from the image rows and a new direct two d...

OBJECTIVES To identify the common bacteria of otorhinolaryngological (ORL) infection in three general hospitals in the state of Sarawak, East Malaysia and to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of the common bacteria to update local antibiotic policy. METHODS All specimens with positive monoclonal culture, received from inpatient and outpatient Otorhinolaryngology Department in the year 2009...

(-)-cis-1-Methyl-7-[[4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)piperidin-1-yl]methyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ol (SB-612111) is a novel human opiate receptor-like orphan receptor (ORL-1) antagonist that has high affinity for the clonal human ORL-1 receptor (hORL-1 K(i) = 0.33 nM), selectivity versus mu-(174-fold), delta-(6391-fold), and kappa (486-fold)-opioid receptors and is able to inhibit noci...

The application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in face recognition is investigated in this paper. SVM is a classification algorithm recently developed by V. Vapnik and his team. We illustrate the potential of SVMs on the Cambridge ORL face database, which consists of 400 images of 40 individuals, containing quite a high degree of variability in expression, pose, and facial details. Our face ...

Actions of nociceptin on electrical and synaptic behavior of morphologically and neurochemically identified neurons in the guinea pig duodenal myenteric plexus were studied with conventional techniques. Nociceptin hyperpolarized the membrane potential in 104 of 121 AH-type and 28 of 51 S-type neurons with an EC(50) of 11.9 +/- 1.2 nM. Increased K(+) conductance accounted for the hyperpolarizing...

Brucea javanica, Azadirachta indica, and Typhonium flagelliforme are medicinal plants commonly used to treat conditions associated with tumour formation. This study aimed to determine the antiproliferative activity of these plants extracts on KB and ORL-48 oral cancer cell lines and to suggest their mode of cell death. The concentration producing 50% cell inhibition (IC50) was determined and th...
