This paper proposes a tone-reproduction method that uses a neural network and modified sigmoid function to perceptually compensate the characteristics of an output device. An inkjet printer was used as the output device the characteristics of which were analyzed by colorimetric measurement. The measured device-characteristic data for primary inks were then used to model the I/O characteristics ...

An assay was developed for measuring the active-site concentration, activity, and thereby the catalytic turnover rate (k cat) of an immobilized dihydrofolate reductase model system (Singh et al., (2015), Anal. Biochem). This data article contains a calibration plot for the developed assay. In the calibration plot rate is plotted as a function of DHFR concentration and shows linear relationship....

As the influence of fluid distribution in the internal pipe, the measurement characteristics of theory and practice exist significant differences in Ultrasonic Flow-meter (USF). Through analysis of fluid state, the method of curve-fitting is applied for the calibration of USF. Experimental results show that the USF can achieve level-1 accuracy with just a correction of 5 flow points, and this m...

In this paper, we propose a calibration method for catadioptric camera sy stems consisting of a rotation symmetry mirror, like H yperO mni V ision, and an affi ne camera. T he proposed method is based on conventional camera calibration and mirror postu re estimation. M any methods for camera calibration have previou sly been proposed. In the last decade, methods for catadioptric camera calibrat...

A simple robust optimizer has been developed that can produce patient-specific calibration curves to convert x-ray computed tomography (CT) numbers to relative stopping powers (HU-RSPs) for proton therapy treatment planning. The difference between a digitally reconstructed radiograph water-equivalent path length (DRRWEPL) map through the x-ray CT dataset and a proton radiograph (set as the grou...

The main goal of this paper is to propose a new practical method for hydrologic soil group estimation in surface runoff process based on geomorphology facieses and slop. The determination of CN based on this method can reduce the time and cost of project. In this research the upstream rivers of Glinak Watershed have been used as a case study to examine the efficiency of proposed method with a c...

BACKGROUND Accurate risk-adjustment models are useful for clinical decision making and are important for minimizing any tendency toward risk-averse clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, emergency patients are potentially at greatest risk of inappropriate risk-averse clinical decisions. UK cardiac surgery outcomes are currently risk-adjusted with EuroSCORE models. The objective of this study wa...

a new, simple, rapid, and cheap method for determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion is reported.determination is based on reduction of bromate ion by nitrite ion, in the presence of murexide inacidic media. during reaction of bromate ion with nitrite ion, the reaction mixture is decolorized.the absorbance changes is then monitored spectrophotometricaly at 520 nm, at 25 °c. dynamicrange of ...
