Global Climate Models (GCMs) precipitation scenarios are often characterized by biases and coarse resolution that limit their direct application for basin level hydrological modeling. Bias-correction and spatial disaggregation methods are employed to improve the quality of ECHAM4/OPYC SRES A2 and B2 precipitation for the Ping River Basin in Thailand. Bias-correction method, based on gamma-gamma...

We prospectively performed gamma correction pinhole bone scan (GCPBS) and histopathologic verification study to make simultaneous morphobiochemical diagnosis of trabecular microfractures (TMF) occurred in the femoral head as a part of femoral neck fracture.Materials consisted of surgical specimens of the femoral head in 6 consecutive patients. The specimens were imaged using Tc-99m hydroxymethy...

Fringe-projection profilometry is one of the most commonly used noncontact methods for acquiring the three-dimensional (3D) shape information of objects. In practice, the luminance nonlinearity caused by the gamma effect of a digital projector and a digital camera yields undesired fringe intensity changes, which substantially reduce the measurement accuracy. In this Letter, we present a robust ...

This paper presents a new, simple and robust image enhancement algorithm for image analysis by modifying the gamma value of its individual pixels. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image. First, for local gamma correction the image is divided to overlapping windows and then the gamma v...

We report the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding a human immunoglobulin C gamma 2 region. Comparison with the previously determined C gamma 4 sequence reveals that these two genes share extensive (approximately 95%) homology in the three CH domain exons and adjacent noncoding regions. In contrast, hinge exons have diverged to a much greater degree, implying that natural selection has favore...

Two types of distortions are produced by the gamma camera. One is nonuniform sensitivity re sponse over the detecting area. The second is spatial distortion; that is, the displacement from their true positions of the xand y-coordinates of a scintilla tion. This component of camera image distortion arises in the resolution and transfer of the xand y-coordinates of a scintillation and results in ...
