To effectively characterize the complexity of biological signals, we propose a new multiscale analysis method. It has a distinguished feature of scale isolation, and thus can readily deal with nonstationarity in biological signals. By analyzing a number of heart rate variability data, we show that the method can accurately distinguish between healthy subjects and patients with congestive heart failure. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that the dimension of the dynamics of the cardiovascular system is lower under the healthy than under diseased conditions. This is compatible with the observation that a healthy cardiovascular system is a tightly coupled system with coherent functions, while components in a malfunctioning cardiovascular system are somewhat loosely coupled and function incoherently. Therefore, if cardiovascular dynamics could be deterministically chaoslike, it would be more likely to be detected in healthy subjects","PeriodicalId":360097,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE/NLM Life Science Systems and Applications Workshop","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134004515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is fully automatic without any human interaction while robust enough for processing images of poor quality, e.g., low contrast or low signal-to-noise ratio.

Circular islands of nitrocellulose were patterned onto a microscope cover slip by micro-contact printing. A flow cell was then constructed over the patterned surface. Skeletal myosin was introduced into the assay which non-specifically attached to the nitrocellulose islands. Labeled actin filaments were added to the assay and self assembled along the perimeter of the islands to form circular loops of around 4-6 mum in diameter. By altering the biochemical conditions in the assay, the bound myosin acted as a linker to hold the assembled filament in this looped configuration. Regions of the loop with enhanced fluorescent intensity suggest \"closed loops\" were formed from single filaments with overlapping ends. Adaptations of this assembly technique can be used for in vitro motility assays with highly processive actin based motor proteins such as myosin V.

The rationale behind this approach is that the rigid transform gives the global mapping between the two images while the nonrigid components further refines the local matching of the pixels by taking care of local nonrigid distortion and variation. Therefore, to estimate rigid transform, the global features such as specific anatomical structures need to be used instead of point features which does not contain any global information. Then to estimate local nonrigid transform, the local features such as points are used. The algorithm is divided into two stages: the first stage is to find an accurate estimate of the rigid (Euclidean) transform between the two images. To achieve this goal, high level (global) features such as small regions with anatomical meanings such as clusters of cells or blood vessels are exploited for matching purposes. A voting scheme is used to confirm the matching and compute the rigid transformation between two consecutive images. This then transforms the foundation for the second stage of nonrigid registration. Using the accurate estimate of the rigid transform, a large number of point feature correspondence is established and used as control points for the nonrigid transform","PeriodicalId":360097,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE/NLM Life Science Systems and Applications Workshop","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126001342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
