A Fast Signal-Dependent Time-Frequency Representation

In last few years, in order to overcome same limitations of the short time Fourier transform (STFT), while avoiding the cross-terms that make the Wigner distribution difficult to interpret, some signal-dependent time-frequency representations (SDTFR) have been proposed. In this paper, the authors introduce a computationally efficient signal-dependent time-frequency method which is suitable for on-line analysis. This SDTFR uses a Gaussian window (GW) similar to STFT, but varies the parameter σ of the GW with time to achieve high signal concentration and high resolution in time. The parameter σ can be automatically calculated by the slope of instantaneous frequency (IF) and instantaneous bandwidth (IB) at that time.published_or_final_versio

A pan-Asian survey of risk perception, attitudes and practices associated with live animal markets.

Key Messages 1. Causal attributions for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of the H5N1 virus among live poultry, consumers, retailers and breeders in Vietnam, Thailand, Guangzhou and Hong Kong were studied. 2. Three main themes embodying lay explanation for the causes of H5N1 HPAI emerged: viruses, husbandry-related factors, and vulnerability factors. 3. A deeper understanding of the perceptions of risks, biases, causal attributions, and both the facilitators and barriers to change is needed for planning effective changes in health related behaviour.published_or_final_versio

Profiling biomolecules at cell-biomaterial interface by quantitative proteomics

Session: Controlling Microenvironment and Cell Fate: abstract no. 789INTRODUCTION: Implant surface structure and chemistry determines the contacting cell’s fate. Therefore, the fate of those cells directly affect bone-implant incorporation in clinical practice1-5. However, how these chemical and mechanical signals translating to cellular responses are not yet known. The major drawback is a lack of systematic study of cellbiomaterial interaction in terms of protein expression, specifically, at the attachment interface between the cell and biomaterial (adherence surface, AS). Therefore, we have proposed to unbiasedly identify the biomolecules at the interface by proteomics. This method combines the use of a subcellular fractionation with quantitative mass …postprintThe 2010 North America Conference of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS-NA 2010), Orlando, FL., 5-8 December 2010
