e o When errors are clearly visible, the blockiness of some artifacts distinguishes them from th riginal image content, suggesting a way of reducing these artifacts. Presumably, the human viewer k e identifies the artifacts by assuming the image does not have 8-pixel by 8-pixel block features. Bloc dge variance, the sum of squared differences between adjacent block edge pixels, is one simple s ...

Engaging patients and public in decision-making: approaches to achieving this in a complex environment We are living in a dynamic, rapidly changing world with a more informed society, members of which hold greater expectations of health-care services and treatment outcomes. Consequently, the nature and delivery of health care is constantly changing, influenced by advances in medical science and...

this paper aims at investigating the acquisition of italian complex predicates by native speakers of persian. complex predication is not as pervasive a phenomenon in italian as it is in persian. yet italian native speakers use complex predicates productively; spontaneous data show that persian learners of italian seem to be perfectly aware of italian complex predicates and use this familiar fea...

Research for ezecuting large-scale motions of mobile manipulators is described. Mobile manipulator" are mobile bases with an attached arm which function in an integrated manner. Motivation i, given for moving the arm while the base i, moving. Thi, work applies reactive control concept, to achieve this type of motion. Tools for modeling Integrated arm-vehicle kinematics' and dynamics are di,cuss...

Multiple investigators have undertaken genetic studies in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis populations in attempts to define genetic links to disease in hopes that this would improve understanding of disease pathogenesis and target pathways for therapy. Multiple genes have been evaluated using a candidate gene approach with limited success, with results suggesting a disease modifier effect rather ...

where it is assumed that the “resolvent” L, = (T + (l/n)l)-i, II = 1, 2,... exists and is defined at least on the range of the operator f C. Such a class of operators T includes all m-accretive operators (cf. Kato ] 5 I). The equations (G,) can be solved by a degree theory argument if we assume, among other things, that L, is compact and C is continuous and bounded, or that L, is continuous and...
