this paper represents a new region-based active contour model that can be used to segment images with intensity non-uniformity and high level noise. the main idea of our proposed method is to use gaussian distributions with different means and variances with incorporation of intensity non-uniformity model for image segmentation. in order to integrate the spatial information between neighboring ...

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to form a comprehensive definition describe the term “job crafting” . Design/methodology/approach: Through systematic review literature found in databases, such as Web Science, Scopus, Emerald and ABI, articles containing words title abstract were identified. After following several criteria applied by previous similar analyses, resulting final sample was 47 ar...

Job satisfaction and affective commitment are key factors for individual organizational well-being. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of job crafting, a behavior capable generating positive results innovation in workplace. Using JD-R model as theoretical framework, present study investigated relationship between resources demands, derived from both work family domains, commitment, ...

The article positions the author’s work as speculative design but—like the term design fictions—is open to several interpretations. How is the fictional character of such work conceptualised and produced? What kinds of speculation are involved? The article considers the value of one particular approach and argues that speculative design serves two distinct purposes: first, to enable us to think...

Adversarial samples are strategically modified samples, which are crafted with the purpose of fooling a classifier at hand. An attacker introduces specially crafted adversarial samples to a deployed classifier, which are being mis-classified by the classifier. However, the samples are perceived to be drawn from entirely different classes and thus it becomes hard to detect the adversarial sample...

The supramolecular design of bioactive artificial extracellular matrices to control cell behavior is of critical importance in cell therapies and cell assays. Most previous work in this area has focused on polymers or monolayers which preclude control of signal density and accessibility in the nanoscale filamentous environment of natural matrices. We have used here self-assembling supramolecula...
