From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

A NON-LINEAR TECHNIQUE FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF EXTREMELY NON-UNIFORM LIGHTING IMAGES

open access: yesHavacılık ve Uzay Teknolojileri Dergisi, 2007
At night scenes and under nonuniform lighting conditions, either the low intensity areas or the high intensity areas cannot be clearly seen. Various image processing techniques have been developed to recover the meaningful

FUZZY BASED CONTRAST STRETCHING FOR MEDICAL IMAGE ENHANCEMENT [PDF]

open access: yesICTACT Journal on Soft Computing, 2011
Contrast Stretching is an important part in medical image processing applications. Contrast is the difference between two adjacent pixels. Fuzzy statistical values are analyzed and better results are produced in the spatial domain of the input image. The

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Underwater Image Enhancement via RGB Color-Cast Correction and Lab Space Luminance-Chrominance Enhancement

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Underwater images often suffer from color casts, insufficient contrast, and blurred details due to wavelength-dependent absorption and scattering, which limits their use in marine observation and underwater target recognition.

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

DCT Underwater Image Enhancement Based on Attenuation Analysis

open access: yesSensors
Underwater images often suffer from color distortion, reduced contrast, and blurred details due to the selective absorption and scattering of light by water, which limits the performance of underwater visual tasks.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

An Adaptive Dynamic Range Compression with Local Contrast Enhancement Algorithm for Color Image Enhancement

open access: yes, 2013
This study addresses the design of an adaptive dynamic range compression algorithm for color image enhancement. To achieve this purpose, a novel image-dependent nonlinear intensity-transfer function is first proposed to produce a satisfactory dynamic ...

Phase contrast imaging with a laboratory-based microfocus X-ray source [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This project looks at the design of an in-line X-ray phase contrast imaging system, based around the Bede Microsource®, on a suitable scale for imaging small pathological samples. The system is applied to two test objects to assess feasibility of its use
