Image-Based Rendering (IBR) is another promising method to describe a virtual environment. We have already developed a method to generate interpolated images without any distortion (Endo, et al. 1998) based on one IBR method called View Morphing (Seitz and Dyer 1996). This method makes it possible for an observer to freely walk around a plane, which is defined by three points where three base i...

Abstract Introduction The cytostatic drugs doxorubicin (Dox) and ibrutinib (Ibr) are established in the treatment of various tumor diseases. In (pre-) clinical studies, both chemotherapeutic agents showed cardiotoxic side effects, including atrial fibrillation [1]. this context, patients with limited cardiac performance or diabetes might be particularly vulnerable, as these pre-existing conditi...

INTRODUCTION: Autologous breast reconstruction is the preferred technique for those patients who require radiation therapy as part of their treatment plan. In order to avoid the detrimental effects of radiation, these patients may benefit from immediate placement of a tissue expander at the time of mastectomy followed by a second stage conversion to autologous tissue (delayed-immediate reconstr...

To what extent is the observed mis-pricing in experimental asset markets caused by strategic uncertainty (SU) and by individual bounded rationality (IBR)? We address this question by comparing subjects initial price forecasts in two market environments – one with six human traders, and the other with one human and five computer traders. We find that both SU and IBR account equally for the media...

Image Based Rendering holds a lot of promise for navigating through a real world scene without modeling it manually. Different representations have been proposed for IBR in the literature. In this paper, we argue that a representation using depth maps and texture images from a number of viewpoints is a rich and viable representation for IBR. We discuss different aspects of this representation i...

Abstract Aim Breast cancer is the most common in United Kingdom. About one-third of our breast patients underwent mastectomy. The Association Surgery (ABS) and British Plastic, Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) guidelines state that all who undergo mastectomy should be offered immediate reconstruction (IBR) delayed (DBR) unless contraindicated. This audit aimed to evaluate service comp...
