To readers with a background in conventional trackers, the former may appear particularly disadvantageous in multi-target environments, and the latter is in complete contrast to conventional approaches such as Global Nearest Neighbours (GNN) or Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA). However, it is the case that the sensor fusion/tracking results obtainable from TOTS are exceptionally and ...

BACKGROUND Parental height data are essential in the assessment of linear growth in children. A number of studies have documented inaccuracy in self-reported adult height. AIMS To determine whether there is a tendency for men to overestimate and women to underestimate their height. METHODS Heights of parents of children attending outpatient clinics were measured (MHt) and compared with repo...

In this paper we address the issue of measurement-to-track association within the framework of multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT). Speciically, we generate a maximum a posteriori (MAP) cost as a function of the number of tracks K. This cost is generated, for each K, as a marginalization over the set of hypothesized track-sets. The proposed algorithm is developed based on a trellis diagram repre...

Theoretically the most powerful approach for tracking multiple targets is known to be Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) method. The MHT method, however, leads to combinatorial explosion and computational overload. By using an algorithm for finding the Kbest assignments, MHT approach can be considerably optimized in terms of computational load. A much simpler alternative of MHT approach can be ...

BACKGROUND Nonmodulating (NMHT) is a high-renin subtype of salt sensitive hypertension, which additionally develops insulin resistance and oxidative stress. Conversely, modulating hypertensives (MHT) normally regulates renal hemodynamics after high sodium intake without metabolic impairment. We postulate that telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker with partial peroxisome proliferators-act...

T he risk of cardiovascular mortality increases linearly without any thresholds from office blood pressure (BP) levels of <120/80 mm Hg. At an individual level, BP-related risk estimation is more challenging. An alert reaction at the office may lead to a disproportionately high office BP and to the diagnosis of “white coat” hypertension, and vice versa, patients with a normal office BP may have...

SUMMARY We describe a novel technique to selectively catheterize the meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) and its branches. We emphasize the difficulty in accessing the MHT via an ipsilateral approach because of the geometric orientation of this vessel to the parent internal carotid artery.

An efficient implementation of Reid's multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm is presented in which the k-best hypotheses are determined in polynomial time using an algorithm due to M u r Q [24]. The MHT algorithm is then applied to several motion sequences. The MHT capabilities of track initiation, termination, and continuation are demonstrated together with the latter's capability to pro...

A mesophilic hydrogenotrophic methanogen, strain MHT-1T, was isolated from the leachate of a sea-based site for solid waste disposal (the port of Osaka, Japan). Strain MHT-1T was found to be an irregular coccus and was able to use H2/CO2 and formate as energy sources. Acetate was required for growth. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 35 degrees C and 6.5-7.5, respectively. Strain M...

BACKGROUND We attempted to review the clinical and fundus findings in patients with malignant hypertension (MHT). METHODS Charts and fundus photographs of patients with malignant hypertensive retinopathy from 1995 to 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. Data of patients were included when their color fundus photographs revealed findings suggestive of malignant hypertension (MHT). There had to ...
