Images, Photographic--Databases; Image processing--Digital techniques; Data mining; Cluster analysis
The performance of content-based image retrieval systems has proved to be inherently constrained by the used low level features, and cannot give satisfactory results when the user's high level concepts cannot be expressed by low level features. In...
To manage large image databases, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) emerged as a new research subject. CBIR involves the development of automated methods to use visual features in searching and retrieving. Unfortunately, the performance of most...
Current high-throughput gene expression experiments have a straightforward design of examining
the gene expression of one group or condition relative to that of another. The data is typically
analyzed as if they represent strictly intracellular...
Liver--Diseases--Genetic aspects; Liver--Effect of arsenic on; Arsenic--Toxicology
Arsenic exposure in drinking-water is a significant worldwide health problem. It causes adverse human health effects, such as cancer, increases the risks for others such as cardiovascular disease, and accelerates atherosclerosis. In this study, we...
Lung cancer is the deadliest type of known cancer in the United States, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives each year. However, despite the high mortality rate, the 5-year survival rate after resection of Stage 1A non–small cell lung cancer...
High-throughput sequencing has provided a myriad of genetic data for thousands of organisms. Computational analysis of one data type, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) yields insight into gene expression, alternative splicing, tissue specificity gene...
Due to the complex nature of interactions at the genomic level as well as the large number of proteins present in an organism, understanding the functions of various genes that are expressed is essential. Creating an analysis pipeline for Expressed...
Digital images have primarily been viewed using desktop applications. These types of programs attempt to load all of an image's graphical data into memory in order to display the image in its entirety. The method is effective for images that are...
Mishaps in prenatal development can influence mammary gland development
and, ultimately, affect susceptibility to factors that cause breast cancer. This research was
based on the underlying hypothesis that maternal dietary composition during...
Recent advances in high throughput methodologies offer researchers the ability to understand complex systems via high dimensional and multi-relational data. One example is the realm of molecular biology where disparate data (such as gene sequence,...
Autographed three-quarter length seated portrait of actress Eleanor Barry wearing her hair in a bun, a pearl necklace, a long gown with sparkly embroidered patterns, and a large floral corsage. The Stuart Robson Company, of which Eleanor Barry was...
Full-length character portrait of boy, standing in front of backdrop of outdoor scene, wearing Colonial wig, wide-sleeved jacket, and leggings, and holding a long pipe with curved mouthpiece. The play referenced on the annotation, "The House...
Dimorphism is a highly conserved process in fungi in which a transition between a unicellular, yeast-like growth form and either a unicellular or multicellular, filamentous growth form occurs in response to several different environmental cues. The...
Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2) catalyze the detoxification and/or activation of aromatic and heterocyclic amine carcinogens by two pathways. This metabolism reaction can lead to the detoxification by Nacetylation, or...
Hypertension--Genetic aspects; Coronary heart disease--Genetic aspects; African Americans--Health and hygiene
Cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, are the leading causes of death in
the United States. African-Americans carry the highest burden of disease with 32% of
adults with hypertension. Blood pressure (BP) dipping, defined as a drop of>...
Grid computing is evolving as a service based, flexible and secure resource sharing environment. Currently, with the help of Grid middleware toolkits, Grids are exposing their services through programming models and command line interfaces,...
Portrait of Otis Skinner as a young man, with mustache and hair parted in middle. Identification derived from an annotation on mount verso. He wears a black tuxedo jacket with white vest and shirt. Skinner, an actor, director, writer, and producer,...
Three-quarter length portrait of performer Sarah Cowell Le Moyne (also known as Mrs. Le Moyne) wearing a large hat with ostrich plume and a fur stole and muff. She performed in "The Two Orphans" at Macauley's Theatre in November 1904,...

Autographed full-length character portrait of Trixie Rallston posing with right hand in the air, as if gesturing while singing. She wears a printed dress, hat with trailing ribbon, and white gloves. Her annotation indicates that she performed in...
Portraits; Portrait photographs; Theatrical producers & directors; Men
Three-quarter length portrait of producer Nelson Roberts (although an annotation in a different hand includes the name "Andy McKay"). He has a mustache, and is wearing a suit jacket with tails, vest with pocket watch fob, polka-dot...
