Lipoprotein X (LP-X) is an abnormal lipoprotein that appears in the sera of patients with obstructive jaundice and is thus a marker for cholestasis. The presence of LP-X in serum does not allow discrimination between intra- and extra-hepatic cholestasis. In addition LP-X is present in the plasma of patients with familial plasma lecithin: cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) deficiency. It is a s...

Pediatricians who completed their training a few decades ago likely recall devoting lot of time to the performance procedures—often while sleep-deprived and frequently with minimal supervision. Although this arrangement may not have been ideal for children, it probably produced skilled technicians. Lumbar puncture was archetypical example such procedures. Over ensuing years, host factors shaped...

Image fusion is a process of combining relevant information from two or more images from different sensors based on certain algorithm. Many algorithms have been proposed for pixel level image fusion. In this paper, Empirical Mode Decomposition is the recent, powerful tool for adaptive multi scale analysis of non stationary signals that decomposes them into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). Hence...

A perceptual pyramid watermarking method is proposed. The key idea is to use the contrast sensitivity of the human visual system (HVS) to determine “invisible” regions where watermark energy can be adjusted providing an invisible and robust watermark. These invisibles regions are obtained by computing a “visibility map” at each level of the Gaussian pyramid (GP). The watermark is weighted by th...
