We have revealed that the co-occurrence frequency image (CFI) based on the co-occurrence histogram (CH) of the gray level value of an image has a new potential to introduce a new scheme for image feature extraction. Our method and filters are very similar to the previous methods in result but quite different in process from those which have been used so far. Thus, we could show a possibility fo...

With the growth of the internet and open software, there are additional software developers available from the open community that can participate in the development of software application systems. Aiming to leverage these resources, a new development model, CFI (call for implementation), is proposed. The basic idea of CFI is to publish some part of a software project to the open community, wh...

Human Cleavage Factor Im (CFI(m)) is an essential component of the pre-mRNA 3' processing complex that functions in the regulation of poly(A) site selection through the recognition of UGUA sequences upstream of the poly(A) site. Although the highly conserved 25 kDa subunit (CFI(m)25) of the CFI(m) complex possesses a characteristic alpha/beta/alpha Nudix fold, CFI(m)25 has no detectable hydrola...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the hypothesis that global physical activity and physical performance parameters are directly related to invasively obtained left superficial femoral artery (SFA) collateral flow index (CFI). BACKGROUND So far, the association between different measures of physical exercise activity and quantitative lower limb collateral function has not been investigated. METHOD...

PURPOSE To measure the morphology of the proximal femur in a Pakistani population. METHODS Standardised anteroposterior pelvic radiographs of 116 male and 20 female healthy volunteers aged 20 to 50 (mean, 33) years were taken. Morphologic dimensions of the proximal femur were measured, including canal flare index (CFI), morphological cortical index (MCI), femoral head offset, femoral head dia...

BACKGROUND Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) plays a key role in centriole replication. Hence PLK4 inhibition disrupts mitosis, and offers a novel approach to treating chromosomally unstable cancers, including pancreatic cancer. CFI-400945 is a first in class small molecule PLK4 inhibitor, currently undergoing early phase clinical trials. RESULTS Treatment with CFI-400945 significantly reduced tumor ...

We report on the different roles of two orbital-active Fe 2+ at the A site and V 3+ at the B site in the magnetic exci-tations and on the anomalous spin-wave broadening in FeV 2 O 4. FeV 2 O 4 exhibits three structural transitions and successive paramagnetic (PM)–collinear ferrimagnetic (CFI)–noncollinear ferrimagnetic (NCFI)/ferroelectric transitions. The high-temperature tetragonal/PM–orthorh...

Constraining dynamic control transfers is a common technique for mitigating software vulnerabilities. This defense has been widely and successfully used to protect return addresses and stack data; hence, current attacks instead typically corrupt vtable and function pointers to subvert a forward edge (an indirect jump or call) in the control-flow graph. Forward edges can be protected using Contr...
