A 53-year-old man developed possible transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) after red cell component transfusion. The patient developed autoimmune neutropenia with the expression of neutrophil antibodies. Neutrophil aggregation, endothelial damage, and development of a large thrombus containing platelets were observed post mortem in his pulmonary vessels. The patient also had subacute or...

In recent years,many efforts have been devoted to image segmentation. Although for a man general image segmentation is considered an easy task, for computers it is still considered to be difficult, computationally intensive and still unresolved task. This work presents an innovative algorithm combining theory of artificial intelligence and knowledge of human eye anatomy. The resulting algorithm...

Although it was traditionally thought that self-reference is a crucial ingredient of semantic paradoxes, Yablo (1993, 2004) showed that this was not so by displaying an infinite series of sentences none of which is self-referential but which, taken together, are paradoxical. Yablo's paradox consists of a countable series of linearly ordered sentences s(0), s(1), s(2), ... , where each s(i) says...

Future detection of a supernova neutrino burst by large underground detectors would give important information for the explosion mechanism of collapse-driven supernovae. We studied the statistical analysis for the future detection of a nearby supernova by using a numerical supernova model and realistic Monte-Carlo simulations of detection by the Super-Kamiokande detector. We mainly discuss the ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein-protein interaction map, as well as many natural and man-made networks, shares the scale-free topology. The preferential attachment model was suggested as a generic network evolution model that yields this universal topology. However, it is not clear that the model assumptions hold for the protein interaction network. Using a cross-genome comparison, we show...

As long ago as 1876 Key and Retzius suggested that the canal of Schlemm was like a dural venous sinus, and Rochon-Duvigneaud (1892) was insistent on this point. Also, Wegefarth (1914), in experiments on the cerebro-spinal fluid, which ran parallel with those ofWeed (1914), showed that Pacchionianlike bodies occurred in Schlemm's canal in cats, dogs, rabbits, and monkeys. Since, however, this wa...

In order to use handwritings as a universal man-machine interface, we assume a pen device — data-embedding pen — which can embed digital data into a handwriting by invisible ink in a real-time manner. This paper discusses the system design, application, and required technologies around the data-embedding pen. Especially, a novel stroke recovery algorithm is proposed for retrieving the embedded ...

Warren Weaver, a biological scientist, wrote that. “..... as man’s control of his environment has proceeded... he has progressively uncovered more and unifying principles which accept the ever increasing variety, but recognize and underlying unity. He has, in short, discovered the many and the one.... The diversity....a surface phenomenon. When one looks underneath and within, the universal uni...
