Abstract

We have developed a graphical interface which allows users of varying levels of computer experience and proficiency to manipulate medical image-processing data with "point-and-click" ease. The power which had formerly been associated with protocols and shell scripts has been combined with the flexibility and "user-friendliness" of buttons and dialog boxes.

XNBC: a simulation tool. Application to the study of neural coding using hybrid networks.

XNBC is a software package for simulating biological neural networks. Two neuron models are available, a leaky integrator model and an ion-conductance model. Inputs to the simulated neurons can be provided by experimental data stored in files, allowing the creation of 'hybrid' networks. Graphic tools are used to describe the modeled neurons as well as the network. Neuron and network parameters can be modified during the simulation, to mimic electrical stimulations and drugs action. The temporal evolution of the network and of selected neurons can be visualized. A point process, frequency or dynamic analysis of the simulator output can be performed. The successive stages of the creation of a hybrid network are explained.

Visual localization within single geometric planes of a space habitat.

BACKGROUND: The present study investigated how human subjects capture and restore visual information within a line representation drawing the three-dimensional configuration of a space module. METHODS: Nine subjects were asked to perform a visual localization task within this geometric model. The task consisted of localizing a light point appearing during 3 s in 40 different spatial positions and for 8 tilt angles of the model in the following random order: 0 degree, 45 degrees, 180 degrees, 225 degrees, 90 degrees, 315 degrees, 135 degrees, and 270 degrees. RESULTS: Results showed symmetric variations of the point-localizing errors about 180 degrees of tilt angle (vertical orientation) and a decrease of the errors when the points occurred in the distal, then in the median and in the proximal planes (virtual depth). The performance also varied according to the virtual ceiling, floor, right, left and back planes. The results have been discussed using a three-dimensional space representation based on a conservative mode of spatial information up to 90 degrees of tilt (horizontal orientation), and on a transformation mode beyond 90 degrees of tilt. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the visual localization in single geometric planes is orientation-dependent.

Improved resolution in the gel electrophoresis of proteins by a periodically interrupted electric field.

The capability of the commercial gel electrophoresis apparatus with intermittent scanning of fluorescence (HPGE-1000, LabIntelligence) to provide time-dependent zone dispersion allows one to quantitate resolution. Using a model protein separation, that between phycoerythrin and fluorescein-labeled conalbumin, resolution was compared between separations conducted at a constant field strength of 80 V/cm and one conducted in 10-s pulses of the same field strength, interrupted periodically by 120 s in the absence of an electric field. Resolution was improved by a factor of two in the discontinuous application of the electric field compared to that obtained in its continuous application. Similarly, the intermittent application of 80 V/cm for 10 s, followed by 120-s pauses, gave rise to twice the resolution obtained from a continuous application of 7 V/cm.
