The properties of moving approximation (MAP) transform and its application to time series data mining are discussed. MAP transform replaces time series values by slope values of lines approximating time series data in sliding window. A simple method of MAP transform calculation for time series with fixed time step is proposed. Based on MAP the measures of local trend associations and local tren...

The perspective of the patient, also called the "patient voice", is an essential element in materials created for cancer supportive care. Identifying that voice, however, can be a challenge for researchers and developers. A multidisciplinary team at a health information company tasked with addressing this issue created a representational model they call the "cancer experience map". This map, de...

INTRODUCTION Helicopter overland navigation is a cognitively complex task that requires continuous monitoring of system and environmental parameters and many hours of training to master. This study investigated the effect of expertise on pilots' gaze measurements, navigation accuracy, and subjective assessment of their navigation accuracy in overland navigation on easy and difficult routes. M...

It is common that text documents are characterised and classified by keywords and that the authors use to give and name these text characteristics. Visa et al. have, however, developed a new methodology based on prototype matching. The prototype is an interesting document or a part of an extracted, interesting text. This prototype is matched with the existing document database or the monitored ...

the aim of this study was to compare the lateral window and osteotome techniques for sinus lifting using histological and histomorphometric methods.in this clinical trial 10 patients (a total number of 14 sinus areas) who needed implant treatment in the atrophic posterior maxilla were enrolled. in all the cases the residual bone height between the sinus floor and the alveolar crest was less tha...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrastructural studies for pinopodes expression after ovarian hyperstimulation and progesterone injection in mice. materials and methods: adult nmri mice were superovulated using human menopasual gonadotropic (hmg) and human chorionic gonadotropic (hcg) hormones; after that, daily injection of progesterone (1 mg/mouse) ...

generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. in this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. the proposed technique i...

[1] We present a new map of Titan’s surface obtained in the spectral ‘window’ at 1.6 mm between strong methane absorption. This pre-Cassini view of Titan’s surface was created from images obtained using adaptive optics on the W.M. Keck II telescope and is the highest resolution map yet made of Titan’s surface. Numerous surface features down to the limits of the spatial resolution ( 200–300 km) ...

Window-based matching such as normalized cross-correlation (NCC) can reliably estimate depth even when the constant brightness assumption is violated in stereo due to imaging noise or different camera gains. However, fixed window methods tend to have poor performance at depth discontinuities and in low-texture regions. In this paper, we describes a novel learning-based algorithm, for stereo mat...

In existing works that learn representation for object detection, the relationship between a candidate window and the ground truth bounding box of an object is simplified by thresholding their overlap. This paper shows information loss in this simplification and picks up the relative location/size information discarded by thresholding. We propose a representation learning pipeline to use the re...
