A new method of co-channel interference rejection for digital television receivers is presented that uses a di erent rejection lter from the comb lter that was used in the prototype built by Zenith. This lter is optimized for rejection of co-channel NTSC interference in the presence of white noise and hence su ers a penalty of only 0.4 dB in AWGN as compared to 3.5 dB with the comb. The receive...

The utilization of face information enables many multimedia applications, especially for news programs, dramas, and movies. In order to utilize face information, face matching methods play important role. But, face matching is difficult, because face information has variation according to facial expression, pose, lighting condition, etc. In order to cope with this problem, we introduce a reject...

We present a method for performing Hamiltonian Monte Carlo that largely eliminates sample rejection. In situations that would normally lead to rejection, instead a longer trajectory is computed until a new state is reached that can be accepted. This is achieved using Markov chain transitions that satisfy the fixed point equation, but do not satisfy detailed balance. The resulting algorithm sign...

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a new technique, which allows subsurface histological diagnosis at a cellular and subcellular level in vivo and could provide histological diagnosis during endoscopic examination. Up to now histological examination of the tissue sample is the only definitive way of diagnosis and monitoring organ rejection after transplantation. In case of pancreas transpla...

Renal biopsy is a gold standard for establishing diagnosis of acute rejection of the renal allograft. However, being invasive, renal biopsy has potential significant complications and contraindications. Therefore, possibility to noninvasively diagnose acute rejection would improve follow-up of kidney transplant patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate urine immunocytology for T cells...

In this paper, the removal of phenol by using aqueous solution in a low pressure reverse osmosis membrane was investigated. The effect of feed pressure, feed concentration, feed flow rate and feed pH on phenol rejection was investigated. The results showed that feed pH is the most affective parameter on the phenol rejection. Rejection of phenol increased with increasing pH from 2 to 10 under th...

This paper presents a rejection strategy for a convolutional neural network. The method is based on Viterbi paths generated by a context based 2D stochastic model for rejected image correction. The rejection strategy is an important issue in neural network theory. The challenge is to find rules, which determine if an image is correctly classified or not. Applying strong rules leads to the rejec...

dendritic cells (dcs) are a heterogeneous family of professional apcs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. donor dcs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient dcs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (mhc) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient t cell responses following organ tr...

studies have shown that patients who do not produce donor specific and / or panel reactive anti-hla antibodies have a longer graft survival. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the posttransplant humoral immune response towards hla-class i antigens and the measurement of the serum creatinine levels which are used in monitoring posttransplant function of kidney. serum samples from 132 rena...

BACKGROUND Studies in the past have shown that perforin expression is up-regulated during acute renal rejection, which provided hopes for a non-invasive and reliable diagnostic method to identify acute rejection. However, a systematic assessment of the value of perforin as a diagnostic marker of acute renal rejection has not been performed. We conducted this meta-analysis to document the diagno...
