Starink, J.P.P. and I.T. Young, Localization of circular objects, Pattern Recognition Letters 14 ( 1993 ) 895-905. Localization of circular objects is easy when all objects are isolated, but becomes more complicated when two or more objects are touching or overlapping. In this paper we discuss a method to accurately localize the centroids and obtain estimates on the sizes. The method consists o...

Reconfigurable Computers are general-purpose high-end computers based on a hybrid architecture and close system-level integration of traditional microprocessors and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, we present an application of reconfigurable computers to developing a lowlatency implementation of Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems, an emerging class of public key cryptosystems us...

Automated lip reading from videos requires segmentation. Threshold-based segmentation is straightforward, but it rarely used. This study proposes a histogram threshold based on the feedback of shape information. Both good and bad examples were used to train an $$\epsilon $$ -support vector regression model infer accuracy region shape. The was optimised minimise error. proposed method tested 895...

BACKGROUND Bioaugmentation or an addition of the desired microorganisms or specialized microbial strains into the anaerobic digesters can enhance the performance of microbial community in the hydrogen production process. Most of the studies focused on a bioaugmentation of native microorganisms capable of producing hydrogen with the dark-fermentative hydrogen producers while information on bioau...

Breast cancer is a complicated disease that it is accompanied by different symptoms. Diagnosis of this disease is performed by various techniques. Using Radiopharmaceuticals is a new method to diagnose the said tumors. [18F]-FPTT is one of these nuclear medicines for detection of breast cancer. It seems that the binding of the title radiopharmaceutical to the progesterone receptor is...
