This paper presents a preliminary study concerning a fast preprocessing method for facial microexpression (ME) spotting in video sequences. The rationale is to detect frames containing frozen expressions as a quick warning for the presence of MEs. In fact, those frames can either precede or follow (or both) MEs according to ME type and the subject’s reaction. To that end, inspired by the Adelson–Bergen motion energy model and the instinctive nature of the preattentive vision, global visual perception-based features were employed for the detection of frozen frames. Preliminary results achieved on both controlled and uncontrolled videos confirmed that the proposed method is able to correctly detect frozen frames and those revealing the presence of nearby MEs—independently of ME kind and facial region. This property can then contribute to speeding up and simplifying the ME spotting process, especially during long video acquisitions.

Wood dyeing requires a non-subjective, repeatable method for determining the color testing and matching. Previously published method used human visual perception to determine the percent of dyestuffs. In this study, computer color matching technique was applied into the dyeing of fast growing wood for the imitation of precious wood species. The process includes measuring the color of wood samples, determining dyeset, preparing and measuring basic color samples, establishing a basic database, calculating and correcting recipes. The recipe of black walnut provided by the system was as follows: acid yellow 2G 0.19%, acid green 0.59%, acid red B 0.29%, with the chromatic difference 0.12%. It could be concluded that dyeing with computer color matching technique allows for a faster, less subjective and easily repeatable procedure that is superior to simple human visual perception.

A preliminary study of human mammary carcinoma on the ultrastructural level is reported for a metastatic, subcutaneous nodule, obtained as a surgical biopsy. The patient's tumor had responded favorably to a series of hormonal therapies, including androgens, estrogens, progestins, and corticoids for recurring nodules over eight years. The pertinent nodule was removed from the region of the gluteal maximus, two weeks following stilbestrol therapy. It was about 1.5 cms in diameter, and was located within the dermis. Pieces from it were fixed immediately in cold fixatives: phosphate buffered osmium tetroxide, glutaraldehyde, and paraformaldehyde. Embedment in each case was in Vestopal W. Contrasting was done with combinations of uranyl acetate and lead hydroxide.

A new strain of mice, which had arisen by mutation from a dystrophic mouse colony was designated ‘mdx’, because the genetic defect, which manifests itself in brief periods of muscle destruction followed by episodes of muscle regeneration appears to be X-linked. Further studies of histopathological changes in muscle from ‘mdx’ mice at the light microscopic or electron microscopic levels have been published, but only one preliminary study has been on the tibialis anterior (TA) of ‘mdx’ mice less than four weeks old. Lesions in the ‘mdx’ mice vary between different muscles, and centronucleation of fibers in all muscles studied so far appears to be especially prominent in older mice. Lesions in young ‘mdx’ mice have not been studied extensively, and the results appear to be at variance with one another. The degenerative and regenerative aspects of the lesions in the TA of 23 to 26-day-old ‘mdx’ mice appear to vary quantitatively.

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
