Digital image representation is perceptually uniform if a small perturbation of a component value – such as the digital code value used to represent red, green, blue, or luminance – produces a change in light output at a display that is approximately equally perceptible across the range of that value. Most digital image coding systems – including sRGB (used in desktop graphics), BT.709 (used in...

Embedded block coding with optimized truncation (EBCOT) is a key algorithm in digital cinema (DC) distribution system. Though several high speed EBCOT architectures exist, all are not capable of meeting the DC specifications. With the augmentation in multimedia technology, demand for high speed real time image compression system has also increased. JPEG2000 is a relatively new image compression...

Cinematic Apparatus theory of the 1970s set the stage for an investigation of cinematic expression in avant-garde film art through a deconstruction of its materials. The material and production elements repressed in the normal ideological apparatus became the arena for new expression. Cinema accelerated the mechanization and sequence of its era to create the essential medium of that era; Augmen...

Introduction Detailed information on anatomy and hemodynamics in cerebrovascular disorders such as AVM and Moyamoya disease is mandatory for defined diagnosis and treatment planning [1]. DSA may still be a gold standard for diagnostic modality but is otherwise invasive. Contrast-enhanced dynamic MR angiography (CE-dMRA) is a useful technique but poses a risk associated with contrast agent [2]. ...

UNLABELLED Analyzing and visualizing multiple sequence alignments is a common task in many areas of molecular biology and bioinformatics. Many tools exist for this purpose, but are not easily customizable for specific in-house uses. Here we report the development of an editor, CINEMA-MX, that addresses these issues. CINEMA-MX is highly modular and configurable, and we present examples to illust...

A number of papers have empirically investigated the rational addiction model proposed by Becker and Murphy (1988) by using data on different harmful drugs, like cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, opium, cocaine; but also activities independent of a biological or pharmaceutical dependency have been analysed, such as gambling, calorie consumption, news, arts, and cinema. The purpose of this paper is...
