This paper summarizes a new Bayesian method for edge-preserving image restoration from noisy measurements. The line-site method of Geman and Geman forces region boundaries to lie along pixel boundaries, which is unnatural, particularly for 3D data. Here, we augment the intensity process with a binary \mixture site" process, which has one parameter for each pixel indicating the presence of a bou...

Park design in Iran has followed the traditional European style since the Qajar dynasty. Thefamiliarity of Iranians with the spirit of Persian gardens and the low quality of the newest parks is such that usersprefer ancient geometrical Persian gardens. Today, those responsible for the design of urban green spaces lackingexamples differing from the traditional and thus they are in need of an ade...

Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either Gaussian or uniform impulsive noise. This is because both types of degradation processes are distinct in nature, and hence they are easier to manage when considered separately. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which produces a hard damage. This happens when an image, already contaminated by G...

Partial restoration in nuclear matter of the chiral symmetry of QCD is discussed together with some of its possible signals. Estimates of corrections to the leading, linear dependence of the quark condensate are found to be small, implying a significant reduction of that condensate in matter. The importance of the pion cloud for the scalar quark density of a single nucleon indicates a close con...

Kuzmin-Osledets formulations of compressible Euler equations for the barotropic case are considered. Exact results and physical interpretations are given. Symmetry restoration taking place at the Lagrangian level is pointed out. Permanent Address: University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, 32816-1364
