摘要:
This invention pertains to methods, mixtures, kits and/or compositions for the determination of analytes by mass analysis using unique labeling reagents or sets of unique labeling reagents. The labeling reagents can be isomeric or isobaric and can be used to produce mixtures suitable for multiplex analysis of the labeled analytes.

A new class of red-emitting, fluorescent [8,9]benzophenoxazine dyes are provided that are useful for staining nucleic acids in a variety of contexts, including in solutions, in electrophoretic gels or other matrices, in blotting experiments and in assays employing intact, live cells. The new dyes are brighter and permeate cells faster than currently available red-emitting live-cell nucleic acid stains.

A method of measuring a modulation transfer function (MTF) includes detecting the center of a line spread function (LSF) image in order to calculate an MTF. For this purpose, an enlarged image of a portion of an image containing the LSF image is created, and binary-coded based on a threshold. A morphological operation is performed on the binary-coded image. Coordinates representing points that define the contour of the resultant image are sampled, and used to work out coordinates representing the center of a circle through Hough transform. The coordinates representing the center are transformed into coordinates representing a point in an original image.

A method for controlling automatic X-ray exposure in an X-ray CT system includes establishing a correspondence table or function relationship between a ratio factor and an offset of a geometrical center of a scanned section, wherein the ratio factor represents a ratio of the projection area value when the geometrical center of the scanned section of a subject deviates from a rotation center to the standard projection area value when the geometrical center of the scanned section of the subject locates at the rotation center, scout scanning the subject, and calculating a “measured projection area value” and Projection Measure based on the scout scan data, calculating the offset of the geometrical center of the scanned section from the rotation center, substituting the offset into the correspondence table or function relationship to obtain a corresponding ratio factor, calculating the standard projection area value based on the ratio factor and the measured projection area value, and automatically determining by an automatic exposure function a tube current value required for exposure based on the calculated standard projection area value, the Projection Measure.

摘要:
Polypeptides labelled with a donor and acceptor pair of dyes selected from a dibenzorhodamine dye and a diamino-benzophenoxazine dye are peptide conjugates which are useful for intracellular and bead-based assays with fluorescence detection. Peptide conjugates with a caspase-recognition site undergo cleavage into peptide fragments which may be detected, located, and quantitated by the changes in fluorescence. Intracellular cleavage of peptide conjugates is correlated with apoptosis.

An X-ray CT apparatus includes an X-ray irradiator which irradiates fan-beam X-rays; a multi-channel X-ray detector disposed to face the X-ray irradiator; a transmitted X-ray data collection device which scans a subject while rotating the X-ray irradiator and the X-ray detector to collect transmitted X-ray data of two or more views; a scan control device which controls the scan; and an image reconstruction device which reconstructs an image. The X-ray irradiator irradiates fan-beam X-rays which are deflected to one side of the center of rotation, the X-ray detector has the number of channels to cope with a spread of the fan-beam X-rays, and the scan control device allows the X-ray irradiator and the X-ray detector to conduct a scan of at least one rotation.
