The paper describes a reliable and rapid method for detecting and removing a color cast (i.e. a superimposed dominant color) in a digital image without any a priori knowledge of its semantic content. A multi-step algorithm classifies the input images as having no cast, evident cast, ambiguous cast, or intrinsic cast (images presenting a cast due to a predominant color that must be preserved). I...

The peak value of a signal is a characteristic that has to be controlled in many applications. In this paper we analyze the peak value of the Hilbert transform for the space B∞ π of bounded bandlimited signals. It is known that for this space the Hilbert transform cannot be calculated by the common principal value integral, because there are signals for which it diverges everywhere. Although th...

This paper presents a n ew method for detection and adjustment color cast. Using the neural network to detect color cast and classify images into three subsets: no cast, real cast, and intrinsic cast (image presenting a cast due to a predominant color that must be preserved). We have a database of 700 images which are downloaded from internet or acquired using various digital still cameras. We ...

In this paper we propose a relatively new semi-analytical technique to approximate the solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs). We present some results concerning to the uniqueness of solution of nonlinear multi-order FDEs and discuss the existence of solution for nonlinear multi-order FDEs in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We further give an error a...

$K$-frames as a generalization of frames were introduced by L. Gu{a}vruc{t}a to study atomic systems on Hilbert spaces which allows, in a stable way, to reconstruct elements from the range of the bounded linear operator $K$ in a Hilbert space. Recently some generalizations of this concept are introduced and some of its difference with ordinary frames are studied. In this paper, we give a new ge...

Calpastatin (CAST) is a specific inhibiter of Calpains, playing a role in meat tenderization and myogenesis. In the present study the polymorphism of the CAST gene ofKhalkhali goat in Azerbaijan province in Iran was investigated by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique (PCR-RFLP). Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples collected from 200 Kh...

Fish gelatin films made from Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Alaska pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were dried at 4 C, 23 C, 40 C, and 60 C. The tensile, thermal, thermal stability, water sorption, and water vapor permeability properties were examined for cold-cast gelatin films (dried below gelation temperature at 4 C) and hot-cast gelatin films (dried above gelation temperatur...

The toric Hilbert scheme of a lattice L ⊆ Z is the multigraded Hilbert scheme parameterizing all ideals in k[x1, . . . , xn] with Hilbert function value one for every g in the grading monoid G = N/L. In this paper we show that if L is twodimensional, then the toric Hilbert scheme of L is smooth and irreducible. This result is false for lattices of dimension three and higher as the toric Hilbert...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of and risk factors for complications associated with casts in horses. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective case series. ANIMALS 398 horses with a half-limb or full-limb cast treated at 1 of 4 hospitals. PROCEDURES Data collected from medical records included age, breed, sex, injury, limb affected, time from injury to hospital admission, surgical procedure...

In this paper, two pairs of new inequalities are given, which decompose two Hilbert-type inequalities.
