Most digital cameras acquire data through a Bayer Colour Filter Array (CFA) placed on sensors where each pixel element records intensity information of only one colour component. The colour image is then produced through a pipeline of image processing algorithms which restores the subsampled components. In the last few years the wide diffusion of Digital Still Cameras (DSC) and mobile imaging d...

We study a family of stable curves defined combinatorially from a trivalent graph. Most of our results are related to the conjecture of Green which relates the Clifford index of a smooth curve, an important intrinsic invariant measuring the “specialness” of the geometry of the curve, to the “resolution Clifford index,” a projective invariant defined from the canonical embedding. Thus we study t...

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack Bμr of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M0,n. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of μreigenspaces of the Hodge bundle, and thus of the obstruction bundle of the genus zero Gromov-Witten theory of stacks of the form [C/μr ]. We deduce linear recursions for all genus-zero ...

Denoising is an indispensable function for digital cameras. In respect that noise is diffused during the demosaicking, the denoising ought to work directly on bayer data. The difficulty of denoising on bayer image is the interlaced mosaic pattern of red, green, and blue. Guided filter is a novel time efficient explicit filter kernel which can incorporate additional information from the guidance...

N AN earlier study by the current authors, Gustafson’s model [1] has been applied to the modelling of the kappa number profile of a traditional Kamyr process [2]. In Downflow Lo-Solids cooking [3, 4] the process and flow conditions differ from the ones of the traditional Kamyr. The cooking reactions are, however, the same in both processes and more measurements and control variables are availab...

In this study, the use of synthetic stones and peach kernels in denim stone washing process instead pumice was investigated. The performance each alternative identified with different methods, i.e. conventional, low liquor, spraying methods. effects were compared. Moreover, energy water consumption equivalent carbon dioxide emission method analyzed. results indicated that although led to best a...

Since the discovery of the stimulating effect of corn steep liquor on penicillin fermentation, various lactosesteep liquor media have been used in penicillin fermentations. The requirements for a good penicillin fermentation are fulfilled by the steep liquor-lactose media by virtue of its composition (Johnson, 1952). The production of penicillin on a chemically defined medium (Jarvis and Johnso...

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the quality characteristics of Gouda cheeses supplemented with fruit liquor (Prunusmume or Cornus officinalis). Fruit liquor was supplemented to Gouda cheeses during preparation. Changes in chemical composition, lactic acid bacterial population, pH, water-soluble nitrogen, sensory characteristics, and proteolysis were monitored in the prepared ripen...
