Visual computation of surface lightness: Local contrast vs. frames of reference

open access: yes, 2010
Seeing black, white and gray surfaces, called lightness perception, might seem simple because white surfaces reflect 90% of the light they receive while black surfaces reflect only 3%, and the human retina is composed of light sensitive cells.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Ovaidan Ultrasound Image Enhancement By Pseudocolouring. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Image processing may be employed on ovarian ultrasound images to assist doctors in diagnostic analysis. The gray levels of ovarian images are usually concentrated at the zero end of the spectrum ,making the image too low in contrast and too dark for the ...

Variation in the translation patterns of English complex noun phrases into Spanish in a specific domain

open access: yes, 2013
This paper focuses on a functionalist analysis of the patterns followed when translating specific texts from English into Spanish. The original texts are written in English and, afterwards, translated to other languages.

Unlocking the Architecture and Component Distribution of Bioengineered and Derived Colloidal Structures from Blood with Neutron Scattering

open access: yesSmall Structures
Blood‐ and blood cell‐derived colloidal materials are gaining traction as platforms for targeted therapeutics, imaging, and theranostics. To fully exploit their potential, high‐resolution insight into their structural and compositional features is ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Effects of Phonological Contrast on Within-Category Phonetic Variation

open access: yes, 2019
This dissertation investigates an often assumed hypothesis in phonetics and phonology: that there should be relatively less within-category phonetic variation in production in languages which have relatively more phonological contrasts (Lindblom, 1986 ...

An Optimized Attenuation Compensation and Contrast Enhancement Algorithm Without Pseudocharacteristics in Intravascular OCT Imaging

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
We present an optimized attenuation compensation and contrast enhancement algorithm to improve the quality of the intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images and overcome the drawbacks of the previous algorithms, including ...
