多尺度B样条小波边缘检测算子

基于B样条理论提出了一类新的多尺度小波变换,通过其零交叉或模极值能有效地表示和检测信号或图象的边缘,对任意n次B样条,导出了相应的分解和重建的快速算法,对应的用于分解和重建的滤波器的时域和频域响应也被精确地给出.从时频局部化的角度对不同次数的B样条作了分析,认为3次B样条小波在边缘提取等实际应用中是渐近最优的,结果也为B样条小波在立体视觉匹配、滤噪等方面的进一步应用提供了基础.     

Application of SIMS in Re-Technology Studies: Characterization of Trace-Element Distributions and Quantitative of Carbon-Determination

 The content and the three dimensional distribution of impurities play an important role in the production process of high purity rhenium powder (99.99% purity grade) and for its further use as alloying and coating agent in high temperature applications. In this paper the characterization of raw Re granulate, Re powder, cleaned by heat treatment, Re coatings, produced by most common preparation methods (PVD and VPS) and PM Re by means of SIMS is presented. The analysis of the three dimensional distribution of trace elements is performed by 3D SIMS. The quantification of carbon, which was not possible with other analytical techniques as a result of the high volatility of Re₂O₇ until now, has been carried out by SIMS depth profile analysis. It is discussed if internal standards, produced by introduction of defined amounts of carbon soot to the Re powder lead to useful results.     

Tunable hydrophobicity in DNA micelles: design, synthesis, and characterization of a new family of DNA amphiphiles

This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a new family of DNA amphiphiles containing modified nucleobases. The hydrophobicity was imparted by the introduction of a dodec-1-yne chain at the 5-position of the uracil base, which allowed precise and simple tuning of the hydrophobic properties through solid-phase DNA synthesis. The micelles formed from these modified DNA sequences were characterized by atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These experiments revealed the role of the quantity and location of the hydrophobic units in determining the morphology and stability of the micelles. The effects of hybridization on the physical characteristics of the DNA micelles were also studied; these results showed potential for the sequence-specific noncovalent functionalization of the self-assembled aggregates.     

THE USE OF TETRAZOLIUM SALTS TO DETERMINE SITES OF DAMAGE TO THE MITOCHONDRIAL ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN IN INTACT CELLS FOLLOWING in vitro PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY WITH PHOTOFRIN II

Abstract A method is described utilizing the tetrazolium salts neotetrazolium chloride (NTC), triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), C,N-diphenyl-N'-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and various substrates to elucidate damage to the mitochondrial electron transport chain of intact cells following in vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using this methodology, a portion of the dark toxicity manifested by Photofrin II (PII) was found to occur prior to entry of electrons into the transport chain through Complex I, as evidenced by the fact that the inhibition of MTT reduction was reversible by the addition of malic acid to the culture media. A second site of dark toxicity was found to be Complex IV (cytochrome oxidase). After photoirradiation of the cells, Complex I was found to be affected since malic acid could no longer reverse the inhibition of MTT reduction but it could be reversed by the addition of succinic acid, whose electrons enter the transport chain at Complex II. A second and more sensitive site of photoirradiation damage was found to be Complex IV. A region near cytochrome C was also affected by photoirradiation but appreciably less so than noted for Complexes I and IV. A kinetic analysis of MTT and TTC reduction following photoirradiation indicated that MTT reduction was sustained at a normal rate for 1 h after which it slowed down and eventually plateaued. In contrast, TTC reduction was found to be inhibited almost immediately indicating Complex IV is extremely susceptible to photoirradiation damage. Compared to other assays of mitochondrial function requiring subcellular fractionation, the use of tetrazolium salts is simpler to perform and can be done using physiologically relevant conditions.

Measurement of the Michel parameter rho in muon decay

The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter rho in normal muon decay, mu(+)--> e(+)nu(e)nu (mu). In the standard model, rho = 3/4. Deviations from this value imply mixing of left- and right-handed muon and electron couplings. We find rho=0.750 80+/-0.000 32(stat) +/- 0.000 97(syst) +/- 0.000 23, where the last uncertainty represents the dependence of rho on the Michel parameter eta. This result sets new limits on the W(L)-W(R) mixing angle in left-right symmetric models.
