Abstract

Image descriptors based on a circular-Fourier-radial-Mellin transform are proposed. They are invariant with respect to rotation, translation, and change of scale. They represent a generalized approach to specific descriptors using a circular-harmonic expansion, a Mellin transform, or moment invariants. The possibility of computing the Fourier-Mellin descriptors by using an optical processor in real time is discussed.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in multiple microarray experiments using discrete fourier transform.

Research in the post-genome sequence era has been shifting towards a functional understanding of the roles and relationships between different genes in different conditions. While the advances in genetic expression profiling techniques including microarrays enable detailed and genome-scale measurements, the extraction of meaningful information from large datasets remains a challenging task. Here, we propose a novel method of generating gene differential expression profiles such that gene expression values from one dataset can be directly compared with those of another dataset. A simplified Discrete Fourier Transform is applied to interposed gene expression values, thereby generating the 'spectra' for a pair of conditions. Using this technique, differentially expressed genes produce higher amplitudes at the Nyquist Frequency. By measuring the phase of the 'spectra' generated, the over- and under-expressed nature of the genes can be identified. This method was validated using two sets of GeneChip array data, one from prostate cancer related dataset and the other from macular degeneration related dataset. The genes identified as differentially expressed by our method were found to be similar to those published using their preferred methods. Based on our findings, the proposed DFT method could be used efficiently in identifying differentially expressed genes from multiple-array experiments from two different conditions.

Observation of terahertz vibrations in Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin via impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy--interpretation by molecular mechanics.

We have used impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy (ICVS) to study the Fe(S-Cys)(4) site in oxidized rubredoxin (Rd) from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf). In this experiment, a 15 fs visible laser pulse is used to coherently pump the sample to an excited electronic state, and a second <10 fs pulse is used to probe the change in transmission as a function of the time delay. PfRd was observed to relax to the ground state by a single exponential decay with time constants of approximately 255-275 fs. Superimposed on this relaxation are oscillations caused by coherent excitation of vibrational modes in both excited and ground electronic states. Fourier transformation reveals the frequencies of these modes. The strongest ICV mode with 570 nm excitation is the symmetric Fe-S stretching mode near 310 cm(-1), compared to 313 cm(-1) in the low temperature resonance Raman. If the rubredoxin is pumped at 520 nm, a set of strong bands occurs between 20 and 110 cm(-1). Finally, there is a mode at approximately 500 cm(-1) which is similar to features near 508 cm(-1) in blue Cu proteins that have been attributed to excited state vibrations. Normal mode analysis using 488 protein atoms and 558 waters gave calculated spectra that are in good agreement with previous nuclear resonance vibrational spectra (NRVS) results. The lowest frequency normal modes are identified as collective motions of the entire protein or large segments of polypeptide. Motion in these modes may affect the polar environment of the redox site and thus tune the electron transfer functions in rubredoxins.

Truncation effects in SENSE reconstruction.

Finite sampling is an important practical issue in Fourier imaging systems. Although data truncation effects are well understood in conventional Fourier imaging where a single uniform receiver channel is used for data acquisition, this issue is not yet fully addressed in parallel imaging where an array of nonuniform receiver channels is used for sensitivity encoding to enable sub-Nyquist sampling of k-space. This article presents a systematic analysis of the problem by comparing the truncation effects in parallel imaging with those in conventional Fourier imaging. Specifically, it derives a convolution kernel function to characterize the truncation effects, which is shown to be approximately equal to that associated with the conventional Fourier imaging scheme. This article also describes a set of conditions under which significant differences between the truncation effects in parallel imaging and conventional Fourier imaging occur. The results should provide useful insight into interpreting and reducing data truncation effects in parallel imaging.
