Measurement technology has made an enormous progress in the last decade. With advent of knowledge representation, various object-oriented models for measurement systems have been developed past. Most common limitations all these were not incorporating uncertainty process. In this paper, we proposed model depicting information and flow process, including uncertainty. The three major object class...

The acquirement of ground control points (GCPs) is a basic and important step in the geometric correction of remotely sensed imagery. In particular, the spatial distribution of GCPs may affect the accuracy and quality of image correction. In this paper, both a simulation experiment and actual-image analyses are carried out to investigate the effect of the sampling design for selecting GCPs on t...

The information is at the present time often saved and available in electronic form. With still increasing quantity of accessible, most frequently text information, the need of organization of these data is raising. The problem of fast and effective information retrieval occurs very often. In this contribution we describe the method for creating word vector space and using NOT operation for mor...

This article is devoted to different skin diseases on fingertips which have an impact to the process of fingerprint acquirement or recognition. There are many people, who suffer under such dermatologic diseases and are therefore excluded from the set of users of a biometric system. The classification of skin diseases is made from the medical point of view. This classification is followed by the...

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common solid tumors in young adult men characterized by distinct biologic features and clinical behavior. Both genetic predispositions and environmental factors probably play a substantial role in their etiology. TGTCs arise from a malignant transformation of primordial germ cells in a process that starts prenatally, is often associated with a ce...

An assay technique, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, is described for the quantitative determination of morphine derivatives in biological fluids. An enzyme is labeled with morphine. When the enzymelabeled morphine is bound by antimorphine antibodies, the enzyme is rendered inactive. Free morphine competes with enzyme-morphine for antibody binding sites preventing inhibition of enzyme activity. ...

The image reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem of finding such internal impedivity distribution that minimizes certain optimization criteria. The optimization necessitates algorithms that impose regularization and some prior information constraint. The regularization techniques vary in their complexity. This paper proposes new variants of the regularization techniques to be used for t...

Iron is an essential micronutrient for Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain B728a and many other microorganisms; therefore, B728a has evolved methods of iron acquirement including the use of iron-chelating siderophores. In this study an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor, AcsS, encoded within the achromobactin gene cluster is shown to be a major regulator of genes involved in the ...
