Capturing VCP: Another Molecular Piece in the ALS Jigsaw Puzzle

Preshock phase singularity and defibrillation outcome: another piece to solve the jigsaw puzzle?

An Improved Heuristic-based Approach for Solving Square Jigsaw Puzzles

An algorithm for assembling square jigsaw puzzles is presented. We commence by introducing criteria that govern the selection of proper jigsaw puzzle solving method for a given application. Our algorithm uses the gray level profiles of border pixels for local matching of the puzzle pieces. Unlike the classical best-first search, the algorithm simultaneously locates the neighbors of a puzzle pie...

The Effect of Two Teaching Methods on Nursing Students Perception of Psycho-Social Climate of the Classroom: Jigsaw Puzzle Versus Programmed Lecture

Introduction: Cooperative teaching techniques such as jigsaw technique may encompass positive effects in promoting psycho-social climate of learning environments. The aim of this study was to determine nursing students' perception regarding psycho-social environment of the classroom and investigating the effects of two methods of programmed lecture and jigsaw puzzle in promoting students' perce...

Jigsopu: Square Jigsaw Puzzle Solver with Pieces of Unknown Orientation

In this paper, we consider the square jigsaw puzzle problem in which one is required to reassemble the complete image from a number of unordered square puzzle pieces. Here we focus on the special case where both location and orientation of each piece are unknown. We propose a new automatic solver for such problem without assuming prior knowledge about the original image or its dimensions. We us...

DNN-Buddies: A Deep Neural Network-Based Estimation Metric for the Jigsaw Puzzle Problem

This paper introduces the first deep neural network-based estimation metric for the jigsaw puzzle problem. Given two puzzle piece edges, the neural network predicts whether or not they should be adjacent in the correct assembly of the puzzle, using nothing but the pixels of each piece. The proposed metric exhibits an extremely high precision even though no manual feature extraction is performed...
