in many manufacturing processes, the quality of a product is characterized by a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. using nonlinear regression for monitoring nonlinear profiles have been proposed in the literature of profile monitoring which is faced with two problems 1) the distribution of regression coefficients in small samples is unkno...

This paper present an approach for detection, labelling and tracking multiple objects through both temporally and spatially significant occlusions. The proposed method builds on the idea of object permanence to reason about occlusion. To this end, tracking is performed at both the region level and the object level. At the region level, a particle filter is used to search for optimal region trac...

many studies since 1977, in the southern coast of caspian sea revealed that the law-setback and low-lying coastal zone have been severely and increasingly impacted by rising sea-level. this rising continued until 1995. the rate of rising was nearly 13cm per year in this period (1977-1995). the general concept of setback determination is tended to introduce a buffer area between human activities...

A scatterplot is one of the most popular techniques used for visualizing multidimensional datasets. However, if the number of data points is large, occlusion and overdraw problems occur. Thus, it will be difficult to visually differentiate these data points and their clusters. Motion is one of the strongest low-level perceptual cues to draw our visual system’s attention to a certain subset of d...

CHEN-PING FU: ANALYSIS OF ADMIXED ANIMALS USING INDIRECT HAPLOTYPE INFORMATION FROM EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES. (Under the direction of Leonard McMillan.) The use of genotyping and sequencing technologies in genetic studies typically involves inspecting variants defined within a single reference genome. While this definition of genetic variation promotes a simple model of the genome that is easy to ...

Recent work on the visual interpretation of traffic scenes is described which relies heavily on a priori knowledge of the scene and position of the camera, and expectations about the shapes of vehicles and their likely movements in the scene. Knowledge is represented in the computer as explicit 3D geometrical models, dynamic filters, and descriptions of behaviour. Model-based vision, based on r...

objective: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has been increasingly in use over the last few decades in both medicine and dentistry. it has been suggested that lllt may be helpful in pulpal wound healing following pulp exposure. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lllt and formocresol (fc) application in healing of remaining pulp following pulp amputation in primary molars...

in russia (formerly ussr) study of biomodulation action (bma) mechanisms of low-intensity laser irradiation (lili) began in 1964, immediately after the development of lasers. during the period from 1965 to 1972 several dozens of scientific conferences were held, hundreds of studies were published. generally, secondary mechanisms and results of lili effect on patients with various diseases were ...
