Graphical Methodology for Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions by Combined Use of Funicular and Projective Geometry

Some researchers emphasize the lack of effectiveness of the currently available methods of treatment of chronic prostatitis. Using the most modern physiotherapeutic methods, the recurrence rate is 40% during the first 1-2 years. Currently highly therapies for erectile dysfunction in patients with CP are shock-wave and frequency pulse electrotherapy, has analgesic, anti-hypoxic effects. The emergence of new physiotherapy techniques based on the achievements of the development of electronics, in particular pulse electrotherapy allowed to bring their physical characteristics to physiological parameters, thereby increasing the effectiveness of this type of electrotherapy in chronic prostatitis. In the works of pathogenetically substantiated methods of combined use of shock-wave and low-frequency pulse electrotherapy ED considering sex of the patient are absent, methodology and criteria for the effectiveness of therapy have not been developed. The author´s objective is pathogenetically justify the combined use of shock-wave and low-frequency pulse electrotherapy in treatment of erectile dysfunction in patients with chronic prostatitis on the basis of system-structural analysis. As a result of observations 40 patients, the authors proved that under the influence of the shock-wave and pulse electrotherapy in patients with chronic prostatitis, the leading clinical syndromes cropped, psycho-emotional state, the functional activity of the pituitary-adrenel-testicular system, clinical and functional state of components of the copulative cycle normalized.

Resolution Electron

Spirillum serpens possesses a surface layer protein which exhibits a regular hexagonal packing of the morphological subunits. A morphological model of the structure of the protein has been proposed at a resolution of about 25 Å, in which the morphological unit might be described as having the appearance of a flared-out, hollow cylinder with six ÅspokesÅ at the flared end. In order to understand the detailed association of the macromolecules, it is necessary to do a high resolution structural analysis. Large, single layered arrays of the surface layer protein have been obtained for this purpose by means of extensive heating in high CaCl2, a procedure derived from that of Buckmire and Murray. Low dose, low temperature electron microscopy has been applied to the large arrays.As a first step, the samples were negatively stained with neutralized phosphotungstic acid, and the specimens were imaged at 40,000 magnification by use of a high resolution cold stage on a JE0L 100B. Low dose images were recorded with exposures of 7-9 electrons/Å2. The micrographs obtained (Fig. 1) were examined by use of optical diffraction (Fig. 2) to tell what areas were especially well ordered.

Low Ionic Strength

While DNA-dependent RNA polymerase represents one of the key enzymes involved in transcription and ultimately in gene expression in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells, little progress has been made towards elucidation of its 3-D structure at the molecular level over the past few years. This is mainly because to date no 3-D crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis have been obtained with this rather large (MW ~500 kd) multi-subunit (α2ββ'ζ). As an alternative, we have been trying to form ordered arrays of RNA polymerase from E. coli suitable for structural analysis in the electron microscope combined with image processing. Here we report about helical polymers induced from holoenzyme (α2ββ'ζ) at low ionic strength with 5-7 mM MnCl2 (see Fig. 1a). The presence of the ζ-subunit (MW 86 kd) is required to form these polymers, since the core enzyme (α2ββ') does fail to assemble into such structures under these conditions.

Structural Networks

Introduction: The analysis and interpretation of electron micrographs of cells and tissues, often requires the accurate extraction of structural networks, which either provide immediate 2D or 3D information, or from which the desired information can be inferred. The images of these structures contain lines and/or curves whose orientation, lengths, and intersections characterize the overall network.Some examples exist of studies that have been done in the analysis of networks of natural structures. In, Sebok and Roemer determine the complexity of nerve structures in an EM formed slide. Here the number of nodes that exist in the image describes how dense nerve fibers are in a particular region of the skin. Hildith proposes a network structural analysis algorithm for the automatic classification of chromosome spreads (type, relative size and orientation).
