We present a number of new solutions to an integral equation arising in the limiting theory of Bellman–Harris processes. The argument proceeds via straightforward analysis of Mellin transforms. We also derive a criterion for the analyticity of the Laplace transform of the limiting distribution on Re(u) ≥ −c for some c > 0.

We present a new approach to the deletion method that is based on the Harris inequality. We obtain deletion lemmas that are similar in spirit to those of Rödl and Ruciński, but hold for arbitrary decreasing properties. That is, we show that under appropriate conditions, with very high (‘Janson-like’) probability it suffices to delete a small fraction of the edges of a random graph Gn,p to ensur...

Salter Harris–type injuries of the distal femur should be treated as a dislocation of the knee and therefore as a medical emergency. Senior medical staff should be involved early, ankle–brachial index ratio should be measured in all patients and the clinician should have a high index of suspicion for a vascular injury. Ideally reduction, stabilization, and vascular repair, if necessary, should ...

Consider the single-species, independent-particle, Bellman-Harris 9 branching process, defined by a progeny number distribution, and a particle 10 lifetime distribution. In this paper, we explore the existence and uniqueness of 11 the inverse problem, where one wishes to solve for the progeny number or lifetime 12 distribution given information about the total number distribution. Results 13 ar...

We compare Randomly Selected (RanSel) features with Harris Corners within a visual egomotion estimation framework. Harris corners have been extensivelly used in visual egomotion estimation systems due to a good tracking stability. However, to compute these features the whole image has to be processed. Instead, we propose the use of randomly selected points which are virtually costless to obtain...

introduction for decades, acetabular fractures were treated conservatively. judet et al. in 1960s established the operative treatment of these fractures by continuous improvement of pre-operative evaluation and classification of fractures. several studies demonstrated that accurate fracture reduction decreases the incidence of post-traumatic arthritis and improves functional outcome. conclusion...

Ear recognition is an emerging biometric technology. This paper proposes a new ear recognition method based on SIFT(Scale-invariant feature transform) and Harris corner detection. Firstly, Harris corner points and SIFT keypoints are detected respectively. Then taking Harris corner into the SIFT algorithm to calculate their descriptor as the image feature vectors. Finally the feature vectors are...
