A Bayer pattern image codec method based on Wyner-Ziv structure is proposed in this paper. At the encoder the pixel of Bayer pattern image is converted into four component images by means of structural separation and transformation. Three of them are transformed into frequency domain by the discrete cosine transform. We extended the Lloyd iterative algorithm and designed an optimal scalar quant...

Mayr and Meyer [MM] found ideals with the doubly exponential ideal membership property. Further investigations of the doubly exponential properties of these ideals can be found in Bayer and Stillman [BS], Demazure [D], and Koh [K]. Following a question of Bayer, Huneke and Stillman, the author has investigated in [S1, S2, S3] the properties of the primary decompositions and the associated prime...

Recovery of iron from iron-rich diasporic bauxite ore via reductive roasting followed by magnetic separation has been explored recently. However, the efficiency of alumina extraction in the non-magnetic materials is absent. In this paper, a further study on the digestion of alumina by the Bayer process from non-magnetic material obtained after magnetic separation of reduced iron-rich diasporic ...

In this paper, we propose a new method for color image-based authentication that combines multispectral photon-counting imaging (MPCI) and double random phase encoding (DRPE) schemes. The sparsely distributed information from MPCI and the stationary white noise signal from DRPE make intruder attacks difficult. In this authentication method, the original multispectral RGB color image is down-sam...

Funding: This work was supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), grant U01 AG15477. NIA collaborators participated in the design and conduct of the study and in the interpretation and review of the study results. Celecoxib and the matching placebo were provided by Pfizer, and naproxen sodium and the matching placebo were provided by Bayer Healthcare; Pfizer and Bayer did not participa...

Do effective properties for unsaturated weakly layered porous media exist? An experimental study. A. Bayer, H. -J. Vogel, O. Ippisch, and K.

The Fluids in Resuscitation of Severe Trauma (FIRST) study meets all of the criteria for assessment as a low risk of bias study, contrary to the unsupported allegations by Bayer and Reinhardt. We dispute the letter from Bayer and Reinhart together with the response from He et al. [1]. Bayer and Reinhart claim that the FIRST study [2] has a high risk of bias and cite two non-peer-reviewed letter...

The documentation of IT projects is of paramount importance for the lasting benefit of a project’s outcome. However, different forms of documentation are needed to comply with the diverse needs of users. In order to avoid the maintenance of numerous versions of the same documentation, an integrated method from the field of reference modeling creating perspectives on configurable models is prese...
