The present invention is directed to a series of silicone containing polymers that contain photostabilizers that act as photo stabilizers for Ultra Violet radiation. Further, the present invention concerns a method for extracting calcium carbonate and vanadium from alkaline industrial waste or by-products. More particularly, the present invention relates to the treatment of neurological disorders related to -amyloid production such as Alzheimer’s disease and Down’s Syndrome. An inter-window shuffle is then performed within each sub-block. At least one site on the animal is selected for introducing the monitoring material. The method may comprise: morphologically filtering the grayscale component to produce a segmentation result; low-pass filtering the gray-scale component under control of at least the segmentation result to produce an image mask; and enhancing tone reproduction of the digital image utilizing at least the image mask.
