Recently, studying social networks plays a significant role in many applications of social network analysis, from the studying the characterization of network to that of financial applications. Due to the large data and privacy issues of social network services, there is only a limited local access to whole network data in a reasonable amount of time. Therefore, network sampling arises to study...

In an ongoing programme to identify a sample of high z DLA galaxies we have found the long sought for case of a Lyα emitter seen in the centre of a broad DLA trough. This is the predicted “textbook case” of an intervening DLA galaxy if DLA galaxies are small, but would not be expected if intervening high redshift DLA galaxies have large gaseous disks. The Lyα flux is 5.4 −0.8 × 10 ergs scm simi...

Background and Purpose Our purpose was to develop a deep learning angiography (DLA) method to generate 3D cerebral angiograms from a single contrast-enhanced acquisition. Material and Methods Under an approved IRB protocol 105 3D-DSA exams were randomly selected from an internal database. All were acquired using a clinical system (Axiom Artis zee; Siemens Healthineers) in conjunction with a sta...

In this paper we proposed fast and accurate interpolation and resizing of images using lifting scheme approach. 5/3 lifting scheme is an accurate and computationally inexpensive interpolation technique for image resizing. We compared the bilinear interpolation, Haar lifting scheme and 5/3 lifting scheme in this paper. The lifting scheme algorithm is applied for image interpolation to resize the...

BACKGROUND To investigate the therapeutic effect of far infrared rays and compression bandaging in the treatment of chronic lymphedema with dermatolymphangioadenitis (DLA). METHODS Between 2005 and 2013, 106 patients with chronic lymphedema with DLA treated at the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. These patients were divided into an infrared and a bandaging group...

There are limitations in pre-clinical settings using mice as a basis for clinical development in humans. In cancer, similarities exist between humans and dogs; thus, the dog patient can be a link in the transition from laboratory research on mouse models to clinical trials in humans. Knowledge of the peptides presented on MHC molecules is fundamental for the development of highly specific T cel...

The canine major histocompatibility complex contains highly polymorphic genes, many of which are critical in regulating immune response. Since domestic dogs evolved from Gray Wolves (Canis lupus), common DLA class II alleles should exist. Sequencing was used to characterize 175 Gray Wolves for DLA class II alleles, and data from 1856 dogs, covering 85 different breeds of mostly European origin,...

In this proceeding, we show that when the drive laser pulse overlaps the trapped electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), those electrons can gain energy from direct laser acceleration (DLA) over extended distances despite the evolution of both the laser and the wake. Through simulations, the evolution of the properties of both the laser and the electron beam is quantified, and then t...

The recently proposed Chebyshev-like lifting map for the zeros of a uni-variate polynomial was motivated by its applications to splitting a univariate polynomial p(x) numerically into factors, which is a major step of some most eeective algorithms for approximating polynomial zeros. We complement the Chebyshev-like lifting process by a descending process, decrease the estimated computational co...

Lifting is an efficient algorithm to implement the discrete wavelet transform in order to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional wavelet transform that does not provide a compact representation of edges which are not in horizontal and vertical directions. The lifting scheme provides a general and flexible tool for the construction of wavelet decompositions and perfect reconstruction filter ...
