In image enhancement various enhancement schemes have been used for enhancing which includes gray scale manipulation, filtering and Histogram Equalization (HE). Histogram equalization techniques using fuzzy logic is one of the unique image enhancement technique. It became a popular technique for contrast enhancement because this method is simple and effective. In the latter case, preserving the...

this study was inspired by vanpatten and uludag’s (2011) study on the transferability of training via processing instruction to output tasks and mori’s (2002) work on the development of talk-in-interaction during a group task. an interview was devised as the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest to compare four intervention types for teaching the simple past passive: traditional intervention ...

Acetylcholine is a ubiquitous cortical neuromodulator implicated in cognition. In order to understand the potential for acetylcholine to play a role in visual attention, we studied nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) localization and function in area V1 of the macaque. We found nAChRs presynaptically at thalamic synapses onto excitatory, but not inhibitory, neurons in the primary thalamore...

Visual Information Extraction (VIE) is a technique that enables users to perform information extraction from visual documents driven by the visual appearance and the spatial relations occurring among the elements in the document. In particular, the extractions are expressed through a query language similar to the well known SQL. To further reduce the human effort in the extraction task, in this...

In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in using traditional animal breeding techniques to improve important traits such as growth rate in freshwater crayfish. However, a major impediment to such programs is an inability to reliably identify individuals or family groups for long periods because of the non-retention of external tags through ecdysis. Visual implant Ž . Ž . ela...

This paper discusses the use of N,N'-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazines with typical Vibration-Induced-Emission (VIE) properties for imaging amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils, which are a signature of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. A water-soluble VIEgen with a red fluorescence emission shows a pronounced, blue-shifted emission with Aβ peptide monomers and fibrils. The enhanc...

This work presents a novel approach to speech enhancement by exploiting the bimodality of speech and the correlation that exists between audio and visual speech features. For speech enhancement, a visually-derived Wiener filter is developed. This obtains clean speech statistics from visual features by modelling their joint density and making a maximum a posteriori estimate of clean audio from v...

Chapelle (2003) proposed three general types of input enhancement that help L2 learners “acquire features the linguistic they are exposed to during course reading or listening for meaning” (p. 40): salience, modification, and elaboration. In 2010, Cárdenas-Claros Gruba argued Chapelle’s different “can be have been operationalized through options” primarily utilized in teaching reading, listenin...

The role of input is vital in the process of foreign language learning. This article intended toinvestigate the effect of using input enhancement on Iranian intermediate EFL learners’knowledge of L2 adjectives. The question of this study lied in the fact that whether using inputenhancement in classroom has any effects on intermediate EFL learners’ knowledge of L2adjectives. This article conside...

Image fusion is the combination of two or more different images to form a new image by using a certain algorithm. Image fusion is a process of generating a single fused image using a set of input images which are assumed to be registered. Input images could be multi sensor, multimodal, multi focal or multi temporal .Image Enhancement is to process the input image in such a way that the output i...
