    Notes: Abstract The synthetic image generation with the lens effect consists of two consecutive processors: the hidden-surface processor, and the focus processor. The normal ray-tracing algorithms are used in the first processor. The second processor computes Lommel's function, which is an infinite series of Bessel functions. In order to avoid the complicated calculation and the huge memory consumption, an approximation method based on the light particle theory is developed. No noticeable differences can be detected between the results from the approximation method and those from the exact calculation.

    Notes: Abstract Oxidative insults, whether over-excitation, excessive release of glutamate or ATP caused by stroke, ischemia or inflammation, exposure to ionizing radiation, heavy-metal ions or oxidized lipoproteins may initiate various signaling cascades leading to apoptotic cell death and neurodegenerative disorders. Among the various reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the living organism, hydroxyl and peroxynitrite are the most potent and can damage proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. It appears that some natural antioxidants (tocopherol, ascorbic acid and glutathione) and defense enzyme systems (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase) may provide some protection against oxidative damage. Recent findings indicate several polyphenols and antioxidant drugs (probucol, seligilline) are effective in protecting the cells from ROS attack. Further development of these antioxidant molecules may be of value in preventing the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

    Notes: Ultra high strength polyethylene (HSPE) fibers have been successfully photocrosslinked using benzophenone as photoinitiator. The introduction of photoinitiator without disturbing the fiber structure is a difficult problem which was solved by vapor absorption at elevated temperature while keeping the fiber under constant strain. The crosslinked fiber showed no decrease in mechanical properties at room temperature as is the case when fibers are crosslinked by other reported methods such as radiation and chemical crosslinking. The crosslinked fiber showed enhanced high temperature resistance as well as much lower creep rate on prolonged stressing. Photocrosslinking of HSPE fiber is superior to other crosslinking methods reported in the literature.
