Akies dugne matomos smulkios žmogaus kraujagyslės. Iš jų pakitimų galima diagnozuoti įvairias sisteminių ligų komplikacijas. Dėl to daug dėmesio skiriama automatiniams kraujagyslių stebėjimo akies dugno vaizduose algoritmams. Daugelis esamų kraujagyslių trasavimo metodų pradeda trasavimą arba nuo daugelio automatiškai rastų taškų, arba nuo vartotojo interaktyviai pažymėtų taškų. Šiame darbe buvo siekiama plačiau išnagrinėti galimybę pradėti trasavimą nuo vieno automatiškai gautotaško, kurio priklausymo kraujagyslei tikimybė labai didelė. Naudojant straipsnyje aprašytą algoritmą trasavimas pradedamas randant pradinį tašką pagal skirtumo tarp skaitmeninio vaizdo raudono ir žalio RGB komponentų reikšmes. Kraujagyslės trasuojamos keliomis kryptimis nuo pradinio taško. Tolesni kraujagyslės taškai randami ieškant didžiausios tikslo funkcijos reikšmės. Tyrimas leido įsitikinti, kad pradedant kraujagyslių trasavimą nuo vieno taško, galima pasiekti kokybę, palyginamą su kitų kraujagyslių radimo metodų kokybe.Iterative Variant of the Optimisation-Based Eye Fundus Blood Vessel Tracking MethodMartynas Patašius, Vaidotas Marozas, Darius Jegelevičius, Arūnas Lukoševičius SummaryEye fundus is the place where human microvasculature can be observed directly. The vascular changes that can be detected there make it possible to diagnose complications of various systemic diseases. Thus a lot of attention is paid to blood vessel detection in eye fundus images. Most of the currently used blood vessels tracking methods start the tracking either from a set of automatically generated seed points, or from the manually marked seed points. In this study, we tried to explore the possibility to start the tracing from one point that belongs to the blood vessel with a high probability. Using the method described here blood vessel tracking starts from fi nding a seed point according to the difference of red and green RGB components. The next points of the blood vessel are found by searching for the maximal values of the goal function. The study has corroborated that it is possible to achieve a blood vessel detection quality comparable to the quality achieved by other blood vessel detection methods by starting blood vessel tracking from a single point according to the described method.

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an important mechanism in development and in diverse disease states. The morphological characteristics of apoptosis were first identified using the electron microscope. Since then, DNA laddering on agarose gels was found to correlate well with apoptotic cell death in cultured cells of dissimilar origins. Recently numerous DNA nick end labeling methods have been developed in an attempt to visualize, at the light microscopic level, the apoptotic cells responsible for DNA laddering.The present studies were designed to compare various tissue processing techniques and staining methods to assess the occurrence of apoptosis in post mortem tissue from Alzheimer's diseased (AD) and control human brains by DNA nick end labeling methods. Three tissue preparation methods and two commercial DNA nick end labeling kits were evaluated: the Apoptag kit from Oncor and the Biotin-21 dUTP 3' end labeling kit from Clontech. The detection methods of the two kits differed in that the Oncor kit used digoxigenin dUTP and anti-digoxigenin-peroxidase and the Clontech used biotinylated dUTP and avidinperoxidase. Both used 3-3' diaminobenzidine (DAB) for final color development.

SummaryA luminescence assay was adapted for detection of von Willebrand factor multimers subsequent to SDS-agarose gel electrophoresis and electroblotting onto nitrocellulose. The method is as fast as chromogenic detection methods and appears to be as sensitive as autoradiography without the disadvantages of the latter.

As IT sector is ruling the world now,confidentiality and security of information has become the most important inseparable aspect in information communication system. Keeping in view the same, a new approach called Visual Cryptography (VC) has been suggested by many researchers but there are some limitations with this scheme and cheating is one of the main problem among them. This paper intends to show the basis of cheating in VC in terms of cheating process, its detection methods and its prevention methods suggested by various researchers along with their merits and demerits. Finally, a good Cheating Immune Visual Cryptography Scheme (CIVCS) has been discussed which states the properties to be adopted by every Visual Cryptography scheme to make it immune to cheating attacks.
