OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Determine the national incidence and disparities for common pediatric otolaryngologic conditions. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative database. METHODS The National Health Interview Survey (2012) was analyzed, extracting children with frequent ear infections (FEI), nonstreptococcal sore throat (NSST), streptococcal pharyngitis (SP), hay...

With the continuous development of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, SAR image data are becoming increasingly abundant. For same scene, dual-frequency (high-frequency and low-frequency) images can present different details feature information. fusion two frequencies combine advantages both, thus describing targets more comprehensively. Because high-resolution contain a large amount det...

Due to the increasing number of images on Internet, image retrieval framework is needed for image-based search. Shearlet transform a sparse, multiscale, and multidimensional representation used extract anisotropic features in processing applications such as fusion denoising. In this paper, we proposed color texture based domain modeling using Copula multivariate model. framework, Gaussian model...

SAR images have been widely used in many fields such as military and remote sensing. So the suppression of the speckle has been an important research issues. To improve the visual effect of non-local means, generalized non-local (GNL) means with optimized pixel-wise weighting is applied to shrink the coefficients of non-subsample Shearlet transform (NSST) of SAR image. The new method can optimi...

The selection of features extracted for image retrieval is quite important. We in this paper choose standard deviation and kurtosis to character texture. Non-subsampled shearlet transform is used to derive texture features. Shearlet is a new sparse representation tool of multidimensional function, which provides a simple and efficient mathematical framework. We firstly decompose the source imag...

This exploratory retrospective study analyzes the emotional and mental processes, risk behavior for HIV/STIs, needed services to exit commercial sexual exploitation. Participants were court-referred local survivor-led program, Freedom from Exploitation, in southern California. Data collected (N = 168) using an intake assessment form a period of five years (2015–2020). Two groups identified data...

The difference and complementarity of spatial spectral information between multispectral (MS) image panchromatic (PAN) have laid the foundation for fusion two types images. In recent years, MS PAN (also known as MS-Pansharpening) has gained attention an important research area in remote sensing (RS) processing. This paper proposes MS-Pansharpening algorithm based on dual constraint Guided Filte...

Abstract. We present a climatology of the near-sea-surface temperature (NSST) anomaly and sea-ice extent during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23 000–19 000 years before present) mapped on global regular 1∘×1∘ grid. It is an extension Atlantic Ocean Mapping (GLAMAP) reconstruction NSST based faunal floral assemblage data Multiproxy Approach for Reconstruction Surface (MARGO) project several recent ...
