We present infrared imaging of a sample of 11 hot spots in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies. We have detected infrared counterparts to the hot spots in 3C 20West, 3C 33 South, 3C 111East and 3C 303West all of which have known optical counterparts as well. In addition, we detected the radio jet of 3C 303 in the near infrared. Four other hot spots, those in 3C 20East, 3C 65 (both sides), and ...

On two-dimensional electrophoresis gels, six protein spots from cotton ovules and fibers were identified as heat shock cognate 70 kD protein (Hsc70). Three spots corresponded to an experimental molecular weight (MW) of 70 kD (spots 1, 2 and 3), and the remaining three spots corresponded to an experimental MW slightly greater than 45 kD (spots 4, 5 and 6). Protein spots 1, 2 and 3 were abundant ...

We have developed the fully-automated algorithms for processing 2-D gel electrophoretograms based on RLGS (restriction landmark genomic scanning) method; one for fully-automated spot recognition from RLGS electrophoretogram and another for fully-automated pairwise matching of the spots found on such 2-D electrophoretograms. Without any human interaction, several thousands of spots on a 2-D elec...

Analysis of 2D-GE images is a hot topic in bioinformatics research, since currently available commercial and academic software has proven to be not really effective and not completely automatic, often requiring manual revision of spots detection and refinement of computer generated matches. In this work, we present an effective technique for the detection and the reconstruction of over-saturate...

Species interactions commonly coevolve as complex geographic mosaics of populations shaped by differences in local selection and gene flow. We use a haploid matching-alleles model for coevolution to evaluate how a pair of species coevolves when fitness interactions are reciprocal in some locations ("hot spots") but not in others ("cold spots"). Our analyses consider mutualistic and antagonistic...

A 10-year-old Japanese girl presented with multiple, small, flat, dark brown clusters of retinal pigment epithelium in both eyes. She had no other symptoms. The appearance was consistent with congenital grouped pigmentation of the retina or bear track spots. A unique co-existing feature was the presence of small, albinotic spots within the entire retina. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated a p...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) exhibits an aggressive clinical phenotype with severe complications and overall poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyse differential expression of low molecular weight (LMW) serum protein molecules of pSLE patients with active disease in comparison to sera of healthy age matched controls. Further, some of the d...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to characterize inner retinal spots with inverted reflectivity on en face images of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed seventy-five eyes of 75 patients with DR (15 eyes with individual grades of DR severity). We obtained three-dimensional images (6 × 6 mm) centered on the fo...

Reaction-diffusion equation model for a 2dimensional gas discharge system is introduced in relationship with the recent experiment by Nasuno [1][2]. The model shows formation of spots, molecule-like organization of a cluster of spots, moving of spots, and intermittent collapse and recreation of spots, in agreement with experiments. The pattern dynamics are classified into distributed, localized...

This paper examines how hot spots shift by hour of day and day of week. Hot spot analysis is more likely to have a substantial impact on crime patterns if spatiotemporal shifts are incorporated into the crime analysis process. Even in some of the highest crime neighborhoods in Bronx County (NY), not all micro-level geographies (e.g. street segments and property lots) contain substantial (if any...
