Verapamil is a drug that blocks L-type calcium channels and selectively inhibits calcium ion entry into the central and peripheral nervous system cells. Verapamil is used acutely and chronically in treatment of some cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders. It has also been shown that acute administration of verapamil has no significant effect on learning and memory in rats, but the ...

Imperfect transmission of block-coded images often causes lost blocks. These blocks may contain very important information of image. In this paper a new error concealment scheme is proposed for restoring lost blocks of images. It is based on the robust watermark technique to restore lost blocks in the region-of-interest (ROI) and the best-neighborhood-matching (BNM) technique to restore lost bl...

--Searching for relevant knowledge across heterogeneous geospatial databases requires an extensive knowledge of the semantic meaning of images, a keen eye for visual patterns, and efficient strategies for collecting and analyzing data with minimal human intervention. In this paper, we present our recently developed content-based Geospatial Image Retrieval includes Content-based image retrieval ...

differs, and to apply those techniques for Chinese It is very important to perform a full-text retrieval search of document information accumulated in the past. Although the retrieval technologies for ascii teM documents have been established, the highly precise character retrieval from the image based documents such as a bitmap image is not easy. In this paper, a word retrieval technique for a...

In a color-spatial retrieval technique, the color information is integrated with the knowledge of the colors’ spatial distribution to facilitate content-based image retrieval. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature, but these works have been developed independently without much comparison. In this paper, we present a preliminary evaluation of three such colorspatial retrieval t...

This paper presents two content-based image retrieval algorithms that are based on image partitioning. The retrieval in the first algorithm is based only on the image color feature represented by the color histogram, while the retrieval in the second one is based on the image color and texture features represented by the color histogram and Haar wavelet transform, respectively. In these algorit...
