The Java Media Framework (JMF) provides a rich set of functionality for building multimedia applications. Using the JMF to build simple multimedia applications is trivial; however, using the JMF to build more complex, interactive multimedia presentations is a much more difficult task. With the recently introduced integration of Tcl and Java, the Tcl language can now be extended to provide a scr...

This paper is about the Ellogon language engineering platform, and the challenges faced in modernising it, in order to better exploit contemporary hardware. Ellogon is an open-source infrastructure, specialised in natural language processing. Following a data model that closely resembles TIPSTER, Ellogon can be used either as an autonomous application, offering a graphical user interface, or it...

The transverse carpal ligament (TCL) plays a critical role in carpal tunnel biomechanics through interactions with its surrounding tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vivo adaptations of the TCL's mechanical properties in response to repetitive hand use in pianists using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging. It was hypothesized that pianists, in comparison to...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and mechanism of a misleading long post-pacing interval (PPI) upon entrainment of typical atrial flutter (AFL) from the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). BACKGROUND In typical AFL, the PPI from entrainment at the CTI is expected to closely match the tachycardia cycle-length (TCL). METHODS Sixty patients with confirmed CTI-depend...

This study investigated the expansion of the carpal tunnel resulting from the application of palmarly directed forces to the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) from inside the carpal tunnel. Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric hands were dissected to evacuate the carpal tunnel, and thus to expose the TCL. A custom lever device was built to apply forces, ranging from 10 N to 200 N, to the TCL. Without forc...

The Tcl Environment for Extensible Modeling is a software system from Bell Labs for the simulation, hardware emulation and debugging of heterogeneous multiprocessor embedded systems. These embedded systems contain one or more digital signal processors or microcontrollers that execute real-time software written in assembly language and C. Tcl provides an environment in which embedded system desi...

PURPOSE This study was performed to compare the cytotoxicity and magnetic resonance (MR) contrast in diverse cultured cells and xenograft tumors models of two ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxides (USPIOs), thermally cross-linked superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (TCL-SPION) and monocrystalline iron oxide nanoparticles (MION-47). MATERIALS AND METHODS Transmission electron micros...

TCL/RhoJ is a Cdc42-related Rho GTPase with reported activities in endothelial cell biology and angiogenesis, metastatic melanoma, and corneal epithelial cells; however, less is known about how it is inherently regulated in comparison to its closest homologues TC10 and Cdc42. TCL has an N-terminal extension of 18 amino acids in comparison to Cdc42, but the function of this amino acid sequence h...

Cancer cell vaccine-based immunotherapy has received increasing interest in many clinical trials involving patients with breast cancer. Combining with appropriate adjuvants can enhance the weak immunogenic properties of tumor cell lysates (TCL). In this study, diphtheria toxin (DT) and two tandem repeats of mycobacterial heat shock protein 70 (mHSP70) fragment 407-426 (M2) were conjugated to TC...
