Abstract Trans-Neptunian objects provide a window into the history of solar system, but they can be challenging to observe due their distance from Sun and relatively low brightness. Here we report detection 75 moving that could not link any other known objects, faintest which has VR magnitude 25.02 ± 0.93 using Kernel-Based Moving Object Detection (KBMOD) platform. We recover an additional 24 s...

3D reconstructions allow cultural institutions such as museums and historic sites a tool to vividly illustrate the past while educating the public about competing interpretations of history and change over time. 3D technology also offers many practical benefits including low cost, flexibility, and the potential for collaboration. This paper presents potential applications of 3D reconstructions ...

since gait is the mixture of many complex movements, each individual can define with a unique footpressure image that can be used as a reliable biometric scale for human verification. foot pressure colorimages of center for biometrics and security research (cbsr) dataset from 45 men and five womenwere used in this study. owing to the properties of this dataset, an index of foot pressure in addi...

In this paper, the authors replicated previous work demonstrating that animating mechanical systems leads to more efficient knowledge acquisition and extended it by applying the same processes to human systems. Based on these data, it appears that using static images, rather than animated human relationships within a team structure, better supports learning of procedural and conceptual knowledg...

BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) with the liver-specific galactose tracer 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-galactose ((18)F-FDGal) may improve diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to test which of three different (18)F-FDGal PET protocols gives the highest tumour-to-background (T/B) ratio on PET images and thus better detection of HCC tumours. METHODS T...

OBJECTIVE Screening for full face transplantation candidates includes computed tomographic vascular mapping of the external carotid distribution for potential arterial and venous anastomoses. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the benefits and drawbacks of cine computed tomographic imaging for preoperative vascular mapping compared with best arterial and venous phase static images.
