We show in this work that incorporating geometric features and geometry processing algorithms for mouse brain image registration broadens the applicability of registration algorithms and improves the registration accuracy of existing methods. We introduce the preprocessing and postprocessing steps in our proposed framework as RegBoost. We develop a method to align the axis of 3D image stacks by detecting the central planes that pass symmetrically through the image volumes.

Also, the activation and release of ribosomal proteins under ischemic insults have been unveiled; however, their extra ribosomal functions are unknown. We identified the ribosomal proteins including RPL10A, RPL14, RPL30, RPS18, FAU-40 (RPS30), and RPSA (Laminin Receptor, LR) in the vesicles of ischemia challenged epicardial adipose tissue derived stromal cells (EATDS).

The relationship between the seismicity and reservoir water level was analyzed using Interlayer Mutual Information (IMI) and the Frobenius norm, both applied to the corresponding VG networks. IMI was used to assess the correlation between the two variables, while the Frobenius norm was employed to estimate the time delay between them.
