The goal of this paper is to present a critical survey of existing literature on human and machine
recognition of faces. Machine recognition of faces has several applications, ranging from …

As their name implies, matrix metalloproteinases are thought to be responsible for the turnover
and degradation of the extracellular matrix. However, matrix degradation is neither the …

Virtually all uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coliencode filamentous surface adhesive
organelles called type 1 pili. High-resolution electron microscopy of infected mouse bladders …

Precursors of α-defensin peptides require activation for bactericidal activity. In mouse small
intestine, matrilysin colocalized with α-defensins (cryptdins) in Paneth cell granules, and in …

Paneth cells in mouse small intestinal crypts secrete granules rich in microbicidal peptides
when exposed to bacteria or bacterial antigens. The dose-dependent secretion occurs within …

Chitosan, a given name to a deacetylated form of chitin, is a natural biodegradable
compound derived from crustaceous shells such as crabs and shrimps, whose main attributes …

Infrequent, attended, auditory and visual stimuli evoke large potentials in the human limbic
system in tasks that usually evoke endogenous potentials at the scalp. The limbic potentials …

The influx of inflammatory cells to sites of injury is largely directed by signals from the
epithelium, but how these cells form chemotactic gradients is not known. In matrilysin null mice, …

Ripples are 100–200 Hz short‐duration oscillatory field potentials that have recently been
recorded in rat hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. They reflect fast IPSPs on the soma of …

A rapid assay to determine antifungal activity in plant extracts and essential oils is described.
Wells in microtiter plates were loaded with Botrytis cinerea spores and plant extracts or …
