Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2022 An amoeba is the image of a subvariety of an algebraic torus under the logarithmic moment map. We consider some qualitative aspects of amoebas, establishing some results and posing problems for further study. These problems include determining the dimension of an amoeba, describing an amoeba as a semi-algebraic set, and identifying varieties whose ...

The ‘Amoeboid Predator-Fungal Animal Virulence’ Hypothesis
Journal of Fungi, 2019 The observation that some aspects of amoeba-fungal interactions resemble animal phagocytic cell-fungal interactions, together with the finding that amoeba passage can enhance the virulence of some pathogenic fungi, has stimulated interest in the amoeba ...

Analysis of Amoeba Active Contours [PDF]
, 2014 Subject of this paper is the theoretical analysis of structure-adaptive median filter algorithms that approximate curvature-based PDEs for image filtering and segmentation. These so-called morphological amoeba filters are based on a concept introduced by

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Traditional cysticidal assays for Acanthamoeba species revolve around treating cysts with compounds and manually observing the culture for evidence of excystation. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low throughput. We adapted and trained

Amoeba-Resisting Bacteria and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate the role of amoeba-associated bacteria as agents of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), we tested the water from an intensive care unit (ICU) every week for 6 months for such bacteria isolates; serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage ...

Analytic varieties with finite volume amoebas are algebraic [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper, we study the amoeba volume of a given $k-$dimensional generic analytic variety $V$ of the complex algebraic torus $(\C^*)^n$. When $n\geq 2k$, we show that $V$ is algebraic if and only if the volume of its amoeba is finite. In this precise

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2015 Filters of the Spatial-Variant amoeba morphology can preserve edges better, but with too much noise being left. For better denoising, this paper presents a new method to generate structuring elements for Spatially-Variant amoeba morphology.

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2007 We study a statistical model of random plane partitions. The statistical model has interpretations as five-dimensional [Formula: see text] supersymmetric SU (N) Yang–Mills on ℝ4× S1and as Kähler gravity on local SU (N) geometry. At the thermodynamic limit a typical plane partition called the limit shape dominates in the statistical model.

Neurofibromin controls macropinocytosis and phagocytosis in Dictyostelium
eLife, 2015 Cells use phagocytosis and macropinocytosis to internalise bulk material, which in phagotrophic organisms supplies the nutrients necessary for growth. Wildtype Dictyostelium amoebae feed on bacteria, but for decades laboratory work has relied on axenic ...
