Although ‘‘a large number of studies have appeared in the literature that report associations of low penetrance genetic variants with disease,’’ as suggested in the recent CEBP editorial (1), hardly any of these reports have been translated into solid results by replication studies, at least for the common cancers. To some extent this is inevitable, as false-positive associations are an inheren...

A novel method that can be used to evaluate mura grade on Flat Panel Displays (FPD) has been developed. This method is capable of evaluating the edge gradients of the mura. This is accomplished by converting the mura image into a visual sensitivity image using a contrast sensitivity function filter. It was determined that the sum of the visual sensitivity values of the mura regions correlated s...

Abstract: A Mura (also called “alluck”) defect that causes local deterioration of colors or brightness on a LCD(liquid crystal display) panel is one of the critical issues in display manufacturing. In this paper, we propose mura detection method using frequency filtering. As a mean of frequency filtering to eliminate the low frequency background term, subtraction of the averaged image from the ...

A fast parallel arithmetic using a Cellular Automaton (CA) environment is presented. Th e Redundant Binary (RB) number representation, first studied for optical computing , is used in order to perform a carry-free parallel addition or algebraic sum of arbitrary large numbers in constant time.

Most work in game theory is conducted under the assumption that the players are expected utility maximizers. Expected utility is a very tractable decision model, but is prone to wellknown paradoxes and empirical violations (Allais 1953, Ellsberg 1961), which may induce biases in game-theoretic predictions. La Mura (2009) introduced a projective generalization of expected utility (PEU) which avo...
