Abstract The Exeter Book Riddles provide insight into how early English medieval people felt about their place in the non-human world by giving voice to many creatures. Riddle 26 depicts creation of a manuscript from perspective sheep becoming page. A close reading riddle reveals that poem is divided two nearly identical sections, which are built around contrast between fundamental and material...

This paper presents the comparisons of the latest subjective video sequence quality assessment methods versus objective quality assessment using H.261, H.263+ and H.264 advanced video coding (AVC). A Simultaneous Double Stimulus for Continuous Evaluation (SDSCE) method was used for subjective quality assessment. The Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) method and the-state-of-the art Structural SI...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Pilomatricoma is the second most common skin tumor in childhood and youth and it has a broad differential diagnosis. The main objective of the present study was to determine the incidence of pilomatricomas in our hospital and to analyze the following variables: patient age and sex, tumor site, symptoms, previous trauma, clinical diagnosis, associated diseases, number...

We describe a method of object-selective quantizer control in a standard coding system based on MC DCT| CCITT Recommendation H.261. The approach is based on two novel algorithms, namely buuer rate modulation and buuer size modulation. By forcing the rate control algorithm to transfer a relatively small fraction|about 10{ 15% on average|of the total available bit rate from the coding of the non-...

The endothelial lectinlike, oxidatively (ox-) modified LDL receptor LOX-1 is a critical player in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia. Ox-LDL binding of LOX-1 results in the expression of various adhesion molecules, which attract monocytes to endothelial cells, an initial step in atherogenesis. We wished to examine the role of the ox-LDL/LOX-1 signaling pathway in fibrob...
