Identifying and tracking pedestrians based on sensor fusion and motion stability predictions.

The lack of trustworthy sensors makes development of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications a tough task. It is necessary to develop intelligent systems by combining reliable sensors and real-time algorithms to send the proper, accurate messages to the drivers. In this article, an application to detect and predict the movement of pedestrians in order to prevent an imminent collision has been developed and tested under real conditions.

Fractionation of rat liver mitochondrial components after short treatments with Triton X-100.

1. When rat liver mitochondria are treated with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100, the solubilizing effects of the latter are already maximal after a few seconds. 2.

Triton X-100 solubilization of mitochondrial inner and outer membranes.

Rat liver mitochondrial inner and outer membranes were subjected to the solubilizing effect of the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 under various conditions. After centrifugation, the supernatants (containing the solubilized fraction) and pellets were characterized chemically and/or ultrastructurally. The detergent seems to act by inducing a phase transition from membrane lamellae to mixed protein-lipid-detergent micelles.

[Ultrastructure of Darier's disease].

Biopsies from four patients with Darier's disease were studied by electron microscopy. The desmosome-tonofilament complex does not seem to be primarily involved in the acantholytic process responsible for the epidermal cells separation with formation of suprabasal lacunae. Grains and corps ronds are consistent histopathological findings in Darier's disease: the ultrastructure of these cells is described.
