Since little is known of the effects of age, gender, and body size on exhaled nitric oxide (NO)
production, we have conducted a prospective study to examine these factors in a healthy …

The progressive bronchial dilatation in bronchiectasis is likely to be the result of continued
airway matrix destruction, although little is known about the role of neutrophil matrix …

Bronchiectasis is increasingly being recognized as an inflammatory condition of the airways
in which pathological permanent dilation occurs. We have obtained endobronchial biopsies …

Adhesion molecules are expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and leukocytes and
are responsible for mediating the migration of intravascular leukocytes into inflamed tissue. …

The mechanisms for Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonisation in the airways of patients with
bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis are poorly understood. P. aeruginosa could evade …

… method as that in [l] to compute IL from IH. If IL is s times smaller than IH, IL is computed by
… ] ~ is a M x N matrix with each row vector ar smoothing a sx s block in IH to a pixel in Ij,. To …

… Given the LR image Il, in order to reconstruct the HR image Ih, we minimize the following
energy function by enforcing the constraints in both image domain and gradient domain: …

… , there is a strong spatial constraint between IH and IL. … method to robustly select matching
seeds in IH and IL: … In section 3, we observe two kinds of connections between IL and IH. One …

… The final high resolution image IH is obtained from the intermediate result Ig … The final high
resolution image IH is shown in Figure 2 (e). Noise and artifacts are significantly reduced with …

… If IL is reduced from IH by a factor of s, following (Baker and Kanade, 2000a), we … IH satisfy
the constraint of Eq. (3). We can find an optimal IH to maximize the posterior probability p(IH | …
