This work is on development of a method for automatic registration of satellite images acquired on different dates, for both geometric and radiometric correction with respect to a reference image. Mutual information statistics is used as the similarity metric of geometric and radiometric registration. Affine and linear transformations are used in geometric and radiometric correction respectivel...

BACKGROUND Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an important problem in cattle production that is responsible for economic losses in dairy herds. Mycoplasma spp. are described as an important etiological agent of BRD. HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the occurrence of the most important mycoplasmas in the lower respiratory tract of healthy and BRD cattle in relationship to clinical signs of BRD. ANIMA...

We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from manifold into Lie group $G$ to maps homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction reconstructing such infinitesimal data. The embedding submanifold $\Sigma \subset M$ becomes an invariant $ under symmetries "Klein geometry" $M$ whose analysis is taken up in [SIGMA 14 (2018), 062, 36 pages, arXiv:1703....

We present direct measurements of the parity-violation parameters Ab, Ac, and As at the Z resonance with the SLD detector. The measurements are based on approximately 530k hadronic Z events collected in 1993-98. Obtained results are Ab = 0:914 0:024 (SLD combined: preliminary),Ac = 0:635 0:027 (SLD combined: preliminary), and As = 0:895 0:066(stat:) 0:062(sys:). Presented at the XXXth Internati...
