In Statistical Shape Modeling, a dense correspondence between the shapes in the training set must be established. Traditionally this has been done by hand, a process that commonly requires a lot of work and is difficult, especially in 3D. In recent years there has been a lot of work on automatic construction of Shape Models. In recent papers (Davies et al., Medical Image Computing and Computer-Ass

Description of how to do a narrative literature reviews conducted within a given theoretical framework

The paper examines the metaphysical ideas employed to embed Hellenistic astrology in an Indian religious and cultural context, relating them to questions of causality, determinism and moral freedom. These ideas are contrasted against the largely Thesophical adaptation of the same concepts, which in the 19th and 20th centuries formed the emerging modern astrology in Europe, and which led it to aban

A nonionic lamellar phase was prepared using C10E3 in buffer solution at pH = 7.6. A suitable T4DNA concentration around 5 wt % was immobilized in a lamellar phase with 40 wt % C10E3. The mixed system was investigated at two temperatures, 25 and 5 degrees C by using cryo-fracture TEM direct imaging, fluorescence microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. The surprising results where obtained sho

Our report is concerned with the laws as they regulate judges with regard to case allocation and considers this in relation to four fields of practice. The first is commercial law where we investigate allocation in the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. Next is criminal law where we investigate allocation in a magistrates’ court and the Crown Court. Thirdly we examine welfare law and the So

Objective Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a recognized risk factor for neurological deficits later in life. Abnormal fetal blood flow in the presence of IUGR helps to distinguish fetuses with true growth impairment from those that are small but normally grown. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of IUGR with abnormal fetal blood flow on cognitive function and psychological develop

Background: The variation in retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) as measured by Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) in healthy subjects may be reduced when the effect on RNFLT measurements of factors other than disease is corrected for, and this may improve the diagnostic accuracy in glaucoma. With this perspective we evaluated the isolated and combined effects of factors potentiall

We have developed a method to separate bacteria from red and white blood cells (henceforth collectively called blood cells) using acoustophoresis, for subsequent PCR detection. To maximize throughput, we have now investigated the effect of increased cell concentration on the separation. Increasing the blood concentration drastically decreases bacteria recovery, but we show that this can be remedie

Objective: To investigate associations between neonatal delivery weight and future risk of maternal type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Methods: Data included in the Swedish Medical Birth Registry and Swedish National Diabetes Registry were merged to include all women born during 1930–1989; patients with pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes were excluded. Cox regression analyses were performed to

The leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) p.G2019S mutation is the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line CSC-41 was generated from a 75-year old patient diagnosed with PD caused by a p.G2019S mutation in LRRK2. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using a non-integrating Sendai virus-based technology to deliver OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4

This article examines the modern concept of literary value. Since the late 18th century, the problem of literary value has been regarded, from the point of view of the so called double discourse of value, as a presupposed opposition between material and spiritual ”economies”. Many Romanticist and Modernist authors believe that literature – and in a broader sense art and aesthetics – constitute a v

We present a method to first laterally position microparticles inside droplets by acoustic forces and then split the droplet into three daughter droplets to achieve a 2+fold enrichment of microparticles inside the center droplet. We show that acoustic forces can be applied to both manipulate polystyrene beads (5 μm) and red blood cells inside droplets. The presented technology opens up for develop
