we study algebraic properties of categories of merotopic, nearness, and filter algebras. we show that the category of filter torsion free abelian groups is an epireflective subcategory of the category of filter abelian groups. the forgetful functor from the category of filter rings to filter monoids is essentially algebraic and the forgetful functor from the category of filter groups to the cat...

The prefrontal cortex exerts top-down influences on several aspects of higher-order cognition by functioning as a filtering mechanism that biases bottom-up sensory information toward a response that is optimal in context. However, research also indicates that not all aspects of complex cognition benefit from prefrontal regulation. Here we review and synthesize this research with an emphasis on ...

background : appropriate methodology for storage biological materials, extraction of dna, and proper dna preservation is vital for studies involving genetic analysis of insects, bacteria, and reservoir hosts as well as for molecular diagnostics of pathogens carried by vectors and reservoirs. here we tried to evaluate the utility of a simple filter paper-based for storage of insects, bacteria, r...

myocardial perfusion spect imaging with tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. one of the main problems with the test, which ha...

Oversampled functions can be evaluated using generalized sinc-series and filter functions connected with these series. A standard filter function is given by exp((ξ2 − 1)−1). We show that the Fourier transform of this filter posseses the convergence order O(exp(−√x)), improving an estimation given in [10]. Moreover, we define a family of filter functions with convergence order O(x · exp(−xσ)) w...

Figure 1: Performance on a GTX 280 GPU of our adaptivemanifold filter (AM) versus the permutohedral lattice (PL), and the guided filter (GF). The vertical axis shows time, in seconds, to filter a 1 Megapixel RGB color image. The shaded areas represent performance changes when σr varies from 1 (bottom curve) to 0.05 (top curve). The guided filter performance curve, in dashed red, is based on per...
