Most conventional MPEG2 video encoder chip-sets use full-search block-matching algorithms (FSMBA) for motion estimation requiring large computation power and complex hardware. Thus, reducing the… (More)
The genes encoding erabutoxin (short chain neurotoxin) isoforms (Ea, Eb, and Ec), LsIII (long chain neurotoxin) and a novel long chain neurotoxin pseudogene were cloned from a Laticauda semifasciata… (More)
Urocortin (Ucn) 1, Ucn2, and Ucn3 have potent effects on appetite and the cardiovascular system. Endogenous Ucns in combination with CRF receptor type 2beta may have a physiological role in the… (More)
To assess the relative importance of the anatomical characteristics of the coronary artery distribution and the sites of the arterial stenoses in relation to infarct size, 21 patients with old… (More)
The filtration method for the evaluation of the red blood cell (RBC) deformability has been further refined to simulate the deformations encountered in the reticuloendothelial system (in particular… (More)
