Gradient Blending method is used to crosscorrelate the different images by varying the intensity. Content-aware image resizing technique allows to obtain the visual content of the images by enriching the salient information in different aspect of ratio. Seam carving is a simple image operator that can change the size of an image either by carving out or by inserting pixel in different part of t...

objectives lipid components of spermatozoa have an important role in its functional activity. in this study the concentration of cholesterol, phospholipid, triacylglycerol and total lipid in different subsets of human spermatozoa, isolated as three fractions by a discontinuous puresperm gradient, was determined. methods aliquots of the liquefied semen samples (n=107) were layered on top of the ...

Traditional Total Variation algorithms often ignore the images edge direction. In order to make up for the flaw of the algorithm existing , a novel denosing method based on direction Total Variation is introduced, on the basis of the combination of the gradient magnitude and orientation. Firstly, the pixels are divided into edge regions and non-edge regions by gradient magnitude. Secondly, the ...

Mammalian herbivores can have pronounced effects on plant diversity but are currently declining in many productive ecosystems through direct extirpation, habitat loss and fragmentation, while being simultaneously introduced as livestock in other, often unproductive, ecosystems that lacked such species during recent evolutionary times. The biodiversity consequences of these changes are still poo...

Abstract: The conditional independence assumption for nonparametric multivariate finite mixture models, a weaker form of the well-known conditional independence assumption for random effects models for longitudinal data, is the subject of an increasing number of theoretical and algorithmic developments in the statistical literature. After presenting a survey of this literature, including an in-...
