In inflammatory disorders (e.g. psoriasis), local concentrations of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), also known as polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase (HLE), possibly overwhelm its natural inhibitors leading to extracellular matrix degradation. Elevated levels of HNE have been reported in a variety of inflammatory disorders, including psoriasis. Peptidic HNE inhibitors have a common hydrophobic sequence (Ala-Ala-Pro-Val). This peptide sequence inhibits HNE competitively; however the stratum corneum presents an effective barrier to the delivery of this tetrapeptide across the skin. The current work investigates the delivery of the modified peptide whereby the tetrapeptide was lipidated to enhance its ability to penetrate the stratum The tetrapeptide Was Coupled to a racaemic mixture of a short chain lipoamino acid (LAA) resulting in two diastereomers of the lipoamino acid-modified tetrapeptide. The penetration of the lipopeptide mixture was assessed across human epidermis in vitro. The percentage of applied dose penetrating to the receptor over 8 h following administration was 2.53% for the D-LAA conjugate and 1.47% for the L-diastereomer, compared to 0% for the peptide. The D-diastereomer appears to be relatively stable but the L-diastereomer appears to degrade releasing possibly the tetrapeptide and peptide fragment(s). Therefore the results clearly indicate that coupling the tetrapeptide to a short chain LAA enhances its delivery across human epidermis.

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) developed using immersive or semi-immersive virtual environments present a usability problem for practitioners. To meet practitioner requirements for lower cost and portability VRET programs must often be ported onto desktop environments such as the personal computer (PC). However, success of VRET has been shown to be linked to presence, and the environment's ability to evoke the same reactions and emotions as a real experience. It is generally accepted that high-end virtual environments ( VEs) are more immersive than desktop PCs, but level of immersion does not always predict level of presence. This paper reports on the impact on presence of porting a therapeutic VR application for Schizophrenia from the initial research environment of a semi-immersive curved screen to PC. Presence in these two environments is measured both introspectively and across a number of causal factors thought to underlie the experience of presence. Results show that the VR exposure program successfully made users feel they were present in both platforms. While the desktop PC achieved higher scores on presence across causal factors participants reported they felt more present in the curved screen environment. While comparison of the two groups was statistically significant for the PQ but not for the IPQ, subjective reports of experiences in the environments should be considered in future research as the success of VRET relies heavily on the emotional response of patients to the therapeutic program.

The application of energy minimisation methods for stereo matching has been demonstrated to produce high quality disparity maps. However the majority of these methods are known to be computationally expensive, requiring minutes or even hours of computation. We propose a fast minimisation scheme that produces strongly competitive results for significantly reduced computation, requiring only a few seconds of computation. In this paper, we present our iterated dynamic programming algorithm along with a quadtree subregioning process for fast stereo matching.

With luminance gratings, psychophysical thresholds for detecting a small increase in the contrast of a weak ‘pedestal’ grating are 2–3 times lower than for detection of a grating when the pedestal is absent. This is the ‘dipper effect’ – a reliable improvement whose interpretation remains controversial. Analogies between luminance and depth (disparity) processing have attracted interest in the existence of a ‘disparity dipper’. Are thresholds for disparity modulation (corrugated surfaces), facilitated by the presence of a weak disparity-modulated pedestal? We used a 14-bit greyscale to render small disparities accurately, and measured 2AFC discrimination thresholds for disparity modulation (0.3 or 0.6 c/deg) of a random texture at various pedestal levels. In the first experiment, a clear dipper was found. Thresholds were about 2× lower with weak pedestals than without. But here the phase of modulation (0 or 180 deg) was varied from trial to trial. In a noisy signal-detection framework, this creates uncertainty that is reduced by the pedestal, which thus improves performance. When the uncertainty was eliminated by keeping phase constant within sessions, the dipper effect was weak or absent. Monte Carlo simulations showed that the influence of uncertainty could account well for the results of both experiments. A corollary is that the visual depth response to small disparities is probably linear, with no threshold-like nonlinearity.
