ISMM05 Special Issue: Image ltering using morphological amoebas

This paper presents morphological operators with nonxed shape kernels, or amoebas, which take into account the image contour variations to adapt their shape. Experiments on grayscale and color images demonstrate that these novel lters outperform classical morphological operations with a xed, space-invariant structuring element for noise reduction applications. Tests on synthetic 3D images are t...

The Reality of Arabic Fiction Translation into English: A Sociological Approach

English translations of texts associated with Arabic fiction remain largely unexplored from a sociological perspective. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology, this paper aims to examine the genesis of Arabic fiction translation into English as a socially situated activity. Works of Arabic fiction emerged in English translation in the early twentieth century. Since then, this intellectual field...

On the Dynamics of the Family axd(x − 1) + x

In this paper we consider the dynamics of the real polynomials of degree d + 1 with a fixed point of multiplicity d ≥ 2. Such polynomials are conjugate to fa,d(x) = axd(x−1)+x, a ∈ R{0}, d ∈ N. Our aim is to study the dynamics fa,d in some special cases.
