this study sougth to the effect of occ pulp fractionation on produced paper strength properties improvement. using a pressure screen, occ pulp was devided to tow distinct fractions of accept ratio (short fibers) and reject ratio (long fibers) in accordance with optimum condition of fractionation based on the previous studies. in the next stage, long fiber stream was refined and recombined with ...

Orthogonal Cross Cylinder (OCC) mapping and segmentation based modeling methods have been implemented for constructing the image-based navigation system in this paper. The OCC mapping method eliminates the singularity effect caused in the environment maps and shows an almost even amount of area for the environment occupied by a single texel. A full-view image from a fixed point-of-view can be o...

BACKGROUND The incidence of oral cavity cancer (OCC) is not well documented because it is rarely described in accord with the anatomic definition but is usually grouped with oropharyngeal subsites. We studied the incidence of OCC in developed and in developing countries. METHODS The age-standardized and age-specific incidence rates of OCC were calculated for the period 1998-2002, using the to...

In this paper we describe compressed indexes that support pattern matching queries for strings with wildcards. For a constant size alphabet our data structure uses O(n log n) bits for any ε > 0 and reports all occ occurrences of a wildcard string in O(m + σ · μ(n) + occ) time, where μ(n) = o(log log logn), σ is the alphabet size, m is the number of alphabet symbols and g is the number of wildca...

Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology that provides ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency for the fifth-generation (5G) wireless and beyond. However, inadequacies in modulation bandwidth of light-emitting diode (LED) reduce achievable data rate image sensor-based VLC, also known as optical camera (OCC). Hence, densely deployed OCC networks, multiple chan...

The role of gossypol in the cumulus expansion of oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) isolated from large antral porcine follicles was investigated. Marked suppression of cumulus expansion stimulated with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) was observed in the presence of different concentrations of gossypol. Comparable inhibitory effects were obtained in the presence...

The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coalescing. Since copies can be folded during SSA construction, instances of the coalescing problem under SSA have fewer affinities than traditio...

BACKGROUND Ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCC) is known to have a poor prognosis and selected genetic features of OCC remain unknown. We investigated microsatellite instability (MSI) and the expression of the DNA mismatch repair-related protein, p53. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSI was examined by polymerase chain reaction using mono-, di-, tri- and tetranucleotide repeat markers, and hMSH2, hMLH1, ...
