ract: At four sites in the Gulf Coastal Plain, mechanical whole-tree harvesting (MWT) removed more biomass nutrients than hand-fell bole-only harvesting (HFBO). Soil compaction and loblolly pine (Pinus tae& L.) regeneraion growq varied among sites. At one location, MWT increased soil bulk density by 0.1 ~ g m ~ , from 1.14 to -24 ~ g m ~ , with no effect on kee growth. At a second location, whe...

Digital watermarking is a technique for copyright protection of multimedia products such as digital images, which embeds a watermark into a host image. The main challenge in image watermarking is the development of new robust methods against different attacks. This paper presents a robust blind watermarking scheme based on multiwavelet transform (MWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). By ...

Results. Fraction 38 from the final 1-60 column associated with a 210-nm absorption peak and elicited a polarization and chemotactic response from polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The loss of polarization activity in fraction 38 after exposure to prolidase suggests that this peptide contains a Pro-X (X = amino acid) peptide bond. The amino acid composition of fraction 38 was 35% glycine and 53% pr...

Abstract—Microwave tomography (MWT) and a radar-based region estimation technique are combined to create a novel algorithm for biomedical imaging with a focus on breast cancer detection and monitoring. The region estimation approach is used to generate a patient-specific spatial map of the breast anatomy that includes skin, adipose and fibroglandular regions, as well as their average dielectric...

OBJECTIVE It remains unclear whether daytime impairments in ADHD patients are better explained by an altered level of alertness and/or by cognitive deficits. The aim of this study was to determine the respective contribution of these factors on driving performance in ADHD adults. METHOD ADHD adults (n= 39) and healthy controls (n= 18) underwent a nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) followed by a ...

In this paper we tackle the challenging task of Multi-word term (MWT) extraction from different types of specialized corpora. Contrastive filtering of previously extracted MWTs results in a considerable increment of acquired domain specific terms.

Image fusion refers to the process of combining the visual information present in two or more images into a single high information content image. This study proposes the concept of fusing the Multi-dimensional images using the YCbCr color model based on the Multi-Wavelet Transform (MWT). Initially the source images namely the visible, Infra Red (IR) and Ultra Violet (UV) images are transformed...

Analysis of server logs from multimedia servers, a FTP server, and a web server suggest that irrespective of the content type and protocol used to retrieve it, the small percentage of files that account for the most load on the server exhibit a very dynamic popularity behavior. This observation has implications for content dissemination techniques like caching, server replication, content distr...
