Hand posture reconstruction systems based on large databases of synthetically rendered images of a 3D hand model offer a simple and flexible means of exploiting domain knowledge to provide training data. Such systems may also be applied to other domains in the posture reconstruction field by changing the model under consideration. Typically, the index structures used to answer similarity querie...

Severe sepsis and septic shock are associated with an inflammatory cascade that is primarily responsible for multiple organ dysfunction. To date, there are no specific treatments designed to modulate and rebalance inflammatory cytokines levels. We present a case of a 50 years old man with postoperative septic shock after undergoing cephalic pancreatectomy for a pancreatic cystic tumor. The use ...

The algorithm of the Fast Hough Transform presents a strong irregularity which makes its parallelization difficult, especially if we introduce certain improvements into the sequential algorithm, such as the elimination of straight lines. In this work we approach this algorithm as a branch and bound problem, developing three different parallel algorithms. The first of these algorithms is based o...

Employing a large sample of 7246 firms across 38 economies from 2000 to 2013, we show positive relation between foreign institutional ownership (FIO) and firms' speed leverage adjustment. This is concentrated for over-leveraged that need decrease financial rebalance their capital structures. We validate our findings using 2SLS regression DiD estimation exploit the exogenous variations in FIO ge...
