A modified ICP algorithm for normal-guided surface registration

template point. In the proposed method, the statis-tics of the matrices are estimated based on a set of training surfaces, and the statistical shape model is incorporated into the nonrigid ICP framework by modifying the repre-sentation of the stiffness of the template. The statistical shape model and a

Abstract: A new chelating matrix was prepared by immobilizing 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone, or alizarin (AZ), on silica gel modified with (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The matrix was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The new matrix was used to preconcentrate Cd(II), Cu

small amount of sample and has a possible safety problem caused by a high internal pressure. This paper reports a modified Carius tube method which utilizes a sealed stainless steel high-pressure autoclave filled with water to prevent explosion of the tube. During heating, the external and internal

to the merging process: registration and integration. Registration is the process by which data sets are brought into alignment. To this end, we use a modified version of the Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP); our version, which we call color ICP, considers not only 3-D information, but color as well

The UL26 gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encodes a protease which is responsible for the C-terminal cleavage of the nucleocapsid-associated proteins, ICP35 c and d, to their posttranslationally modified counterparts, ICP35 e and f. To further characterize the HSV-1 protease, the UL26

Abstract: A solid phase extraction and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) for the determination of lead(II) ions with octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified by 4-methyl-N-{2-(4-methylbenzothioyl)aminoethyl}benzenecarbothioamide (MMAB) was studied. Extraction

Early during infection, the herpes simplex regulatory protein ICP0 promotes the proteasome-dependent degradation of a number of cellular proteins and the loss of a number of SUMO-1-modified protein isoforms, including PML. Recently, ICP0 has been shown to induce the accumulation of conjugated

assumes that the points are observed with isotropic Gaussian noise. In this paper, we present the first variant of the ICP which accounts for anisotropic localization uncertainty in both steps of the algorithm and show that in the presence of anisotropic noise, the modified ICP is better suited for both

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) protein ICP27 is a multifunctional regulatory protein that is posttransla-tionally modified by phosphorylation during viral infection. ICP27 has been shown to be phosphorylated on three serine residues, specifically serine residues 16 and 18, which are within casein
