1. Detecção e rastreamento de obstáculos com uso de sensor laser de varredura. / Obstacle detection and tracking using laser 2D.
Este trabalho apresenta um sistema de rastreamento de obstáculos, utilizando sensor laser 2D e filtro de Kalman. Este filtro não é muito eficiente em situações em que ocorrem severas perturbações na posição medida do obstáculo, como, por exemplo, um objeto rastreado passando por trás de uma barreira, interrompendo o feixe de laser por alguns insta

2. 2D laser-based probabilistic motion tracking in urban-like environments
All over the world traffic injuries and fatality rates are increasing every year. The combination of negligent and imprudent drivers, adverse road and weather conditions produces tragic results with dramatic loss of life. In this scenario, the use of mobile robotics technology onboard vehicles could reduce casualties. Obstacle motion tracking is an essential

3. Um sistema de visão para navegação robusta de uma plataforma robótica semi-autônoma
Large efforts have been maden by the scientific community on tasks involving locomotion of mobile robots. To execute this kind of task, we must develop to the robot the ability of navigation through the environment in a safe way, that is, without collisions with the objects. In order to perform this, it is necessary to implement strategies that makes

4. GPU-BASED PARTICLE SIMULATION WITH COLLISION HANDLING / SIMULAÇÃO DE PARTÍCULAS BASEADA EM GPU COM TRATAMENTO DE COLISÃO
This work presents a new proposal for the implementation of a GPU-based particle system. The simulation runs entirely on the graphic processor, thus eliminating data transfer between the CPU and the GPU. The proposed system is able to simulate particles with different diameters in confined environments, including support for inter-particle collisions, constr

5. Field Evaluation of the ICT Malaria P.f/P.v Immunochromatographic Test for Detection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in Patients with a Presumptive Clinical Diagnosis of Malaria in Eastern Indonesia
In areas such as eastern Indonesia where both Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax occur, rapid antigen detection tests for malaria need to be able to detect both species. We evaluated the new combined P. falciparum-P. vivax immunochromatographic test (ICT Malaria P.f/P.v.) in Radamata Primary Health Centre, Sumba, Indonesia, from February to May 1998

6. Evaluation of a TaqMan PCR Assay To Detect Rabies Virus RNA: Influence of Sequence Variation and Application to Quantification of Viral Loads
Published assays that use TaqMan PCR are consistently sensitive, rapid, and readily transferable. Here we describe a TaqMan PCR-based method for the detection of rabies virus (RV) RNA in tissue samples. We show that the method has an acceptable linear range, is both sensitive and specific, and, importantly, correlates with the concentration of infectious vir

7. Microtesla MRI with a superconducting quantum interference device
MRI scanners enable fast, noninvasive, and high-resolution imaging of organs and soft tissue. The images are reconstructed from NMR signals generated by nuclear spins that precess in a static magnetic field B0 in the presence of magnetic field gradients. Most clinical MRI scanners operate at a magnetic field B0 = 1.5 T, corresponding to a proton resonance fr

8. Quantitative analysis of MDR1 (multidrug resistance) gene expression in human tumors by polymerase chain reaction.
The resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs is a major obstacle to successful cancer chemotherapy. In human cells, expression of the MDR1 gene, encoding a transmembrane efflux pump (P-glycoprotein), leads to decreased intracellular accumulation and resistance to a variety of lipophilic drugs (multidrug resistance; MDR). The levels of MDR in cell

9. An indirect double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using baculovirus-expressed antigen for the detection of antibodies to glycoprotein E of pseudorabies virus and comparison of the method with blocking ELISAs.
Antibodies in porcine sera against glycoprotein E (gE) of pseudorabies virus (PRV) are usually measured in blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with one or two murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against gE. Our aim was to develop a confirmation assay which is based on another principle and which is able to detect antibodies directed

10. The Liver Is a Major Organ for Clearing Simian Immunodeficiency Virus in Rhesus Monkeys
Infection with human or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) is characterized by the rapid turnover of both viral particles and productively infected cells. It has recently been reported that the clearance of SIV in vivo is exceedingly fast, with half-lives on the order of minutes. The underlying mechanism or site responsible for this rapid clearance, however

11. Serum Glucan Levels Are Not Specific for Presence of Fungal Infections in Intensive Care Unit Patients
Fungal infections in the critically ill patient are difficult to diagnose and are associated with a high mortality rate. A major obstacle to managing fungal infection is the lack of a reliable clinical assay that will rapidly identify patients with fungal sepsis. Glucans are polymers of glucose that are found in the cell wall of fungi and certain bacteria. G

12. Novel Reporter T-Cell Line Highly Susceptible to Both CCR5- and CXCR4-Using Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and Its Application to Drug Susceptibility Tests
CCR5-using (R5) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a major viral population that is transmitted by sexual intercourse and that replicates in infected individuals during the asymptomatic stage of HIV-1 infection, suggesting that agents effective against R5 HIV-1 can be expected to prevent viral transmission and delay disease progression. However,
