Image registration is an essential step in the process of image fusion, environment surveillance and change detection. Finding correct feature matches during the registration process proves to be difficult, especially for remote sensing images with large background variations (e.g., images taken pre and post an earthquake or flood). Traditional registration methods based on local intensity prob...

BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus often take multiple anti-diabetic drugs for a long period. Fixed dose combination (FDC) therapy is expected to improve drug adherence for patients with diabetes. The effect of switching from a loose dose combination (LDC) regimen to an FDC regimen at equivalent dosage on glycemic control has not been evaluated fully. Therefore, we investigated t...

This paper describes changing needs among the communities that exploit language resources and recent LDC activities and publications that support those needs by providing greater volumes of data and associated resources in a growing inventory of languages with ever more sophisticated annotation. Specifically, it covers the evolving role of data centers with specific emphasis on the LDC, the pub...

One hundred twenty Salmonella Enteritidis isolates collected from 1992 to 2005 in Nagasaki prefecture (65 isolates from 40 outbreak cases, 44 from sporadic diarrhea patients, and 11 from chicken-related products) were investigated by their antibiotic susceptibility profiles, phage typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing. Out of them, 18 were identified as lysine decarboxylase...

image recognition is one of the most important field in image processing that in recent decades had much attention .due to expansion of related fields with image processing and various application of this science in machine vision, military science, geography, aerospace and artificial intelligence and lots of other aspects, out stand the importance of this subject.one of the most important aspe...

We reported previously that spline interpolation is effective as a pretreatment before analyzing clinical data by time series. However, further improvement is required to understand the detailed tendency of clinical data. In this study, the tendency of interpolated hematological data was investigated in the period between the most tolerated dose (MTD) and low-dose chemotherapy (LDC) for colorec...

We examine the mechanism that subserves visual contour detection and particularly its tuning for the spatial frequency of contour components. We measured the detection of contours composed of Gabor micropatterns within a field of randomly oriented distractor elements. Distractors were randomly assigned one of two spatial frequencies, and elements lying along the contour alternated between these...
