A modular approach to image matting
(2022-11-01)Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ... -
A modular interface framework for multimodal annotations and visualizations in Human-AI collaboration
(2021-07-01)Modular is a web-based annotation, visualization, and inference software plat-form for computational language and vision research. The platform enables researchers to set up an interface for efficiently annotating language ... -
Modulation of corticospinal excitability during arm cycling in humans
(2013-08-01)Animal studies have shown that the basic pattern for locomotor activities are generated via neural networks found in the spinal cord, referred to as central pattern generators (CPGs) (Grillner, 1981). In humans, accumulating ... -
A molecular characterization of agonists that bind to Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated chloride channel from Haemonchus contortus
(2012-11-01)Haemonchus contortus is a blood feeding parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health at great economic cost. The ability to pharmaceutically control infection has been challenged by the rapid ... -
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ... -
Molecular characterization of the binding site of nematode GABA-A receptors
(2010-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled in large part by nematocidal drugs that target receptors of the parasitic nervous system. Hco-UNC-49 is a nematode GABA receptor that has a relatively low ... -
Molecular characterization of the interactions of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division Pump MexJK of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with outer membrane proteins OprM and OpmH.
(2013-08-01)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, which has become a significant threat due to wide-spread antimicrobial resistance. Resistance Nodulation Division efflux pumps are important ... -
Molecular dynamics simulations and neural network solutions for applications in biophysics
(2022-12-01)As computing resources evolved and became more accessible over time, much of scientific research shifted towards utilizing computational techniques. In particular, biophysics is a field of science that has continually ... -
A monitoring framework for side-channel information leaks
(2019-04-01)Security and privacy in computer systems is becoming an ever important field of study as the information available on these systems is of ever increasing value. The state of research on direct security attacks to computer ... -
Monolayer terpyridyl metal complexes for high-efficiency electrochromic materials
(2021-08-01)Electrochromic materials (ECMs) can change their color with changes of applied electrochemical potential. Currently, the use of ECMs in the industry is limited to mainly inorganic metal oxides, conjugated conducting polymers, ... -
Monte Carlo simulations for the purpose of efficiency curve calibration for the Fastscan whole body counter
(2015-08-01)In order to be able to qualify and quantify radiation exposure in terms of dose, a Fastscan whole body counter must be calibrated correctly. Current calibration methods do not take the full range of body types into ... -
