FCM Clustering Algorithms for Segmentation of Brain MR Images by Yogita K. Dubey, Milind M. Mushrif

“…The study of brain disorders requires accurate tissue segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) brain images which is very important for detecting tumors, edema, and necrotic tissues. Segmentation of brain images, especially into three main tissue types: Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), Gray Matter (GM), and White Matter (WM), has important role in computer aided neurosurgery and diagnosis. …”

Method of multilayer object sectioning based on a light scattering model by S.D. Bazhitov, A.V. Larichev, A.V. Razgulin, T.E. Romanenko

“…We propose a method of "Boundary separation" of sectioning, which combines the use of a physical blur model with modern methods of blur estimating and edge detection. The results of testing the "Boundary separation" method on the data of physical experiments with different-scale model multilayer objects are analyzed and compared with the existing methods for solving the optical sectioning problem. …”

Current Views of Toll-Like Receptor Signaling Pathways by Masahiro Yamamoto, Kiyoshi Takeda

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play crucial roles in innate responses that lead not only to the clearance of pathogens but also to the efficient establishment of acquired immunity by directly detecting molecules from microbes. In terms of intracellular TLR-mediated signaling pathways, cytoplasmic adaptor molecules containing Toll/IL-1R (TIR) domains play important roles in inflammatory immune responses through the production of proinflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and type I interferon, and upregulation of costimulatory molecules. …”
