This paper highlights a growing problem as software systems become more and more tightly coupled and complex, that of poor diagnostic capability. Diagnosis has never been particularly sophisticated in software systems, often being an ad hoc process in which programmers receive no training. As a result, significant numbers of failures in modern systems cannot be diagnosed in the sense of being u...

Participants were healthy adults included 18 women, 6 men: age range = 18–54 years. Findings indicate significant suc...

In this paper we propose several improvements to the original non-local means algorithm introduced by Buades et al. which obtains state-of-the-art denoising results. The strength of this algorithm is to exploit the repetitive character of the image in order to denoise the image unlike conventional denoising algorithms, which typically operate in a local neighbourhood. Due to the enormous amount...
