abstract   background : although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. the importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. in this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. in compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. overall, the previous studies in ...

Two years ago, Ryan Weber developed a simple support vector machine for protein secondary structure prediction to investigate the complexity of kernel and algorithm necessary to perform adequate classification [1]. For my project, I have resurrected Ryan‘s project, tested his conclusions, and extended the support vector machine to use the spectrum string kernel designed by Leslie, Eskin, and No...

In this paper, a class of weighted vector directional filters (WVDFs) based on the selection of the output sample from the multichannel input set is analyzed and optimized. The WVDF output minimizes the sum of weighted angular distances to other input samples from the filtering window. Dependent on the weighting coefficients, the class of the WVDFs can be designed to perform a number of smoothi...

Traditional estimators of the galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum are sensitive to survey geometry. They yield spectra that differ from true underlying signal since they convolved with window function survey. For current future generations experiments, this bias is statistically significant on large scales. It thus imperative effect summary statistics distribution accurately modelled. Moreover...

Aiming at the problem that stereo matching accuracy is easily affected by noise and amplitude distortion, a algorithm based on HSV color space improved census transform proposed. In cost calculation stage, image first converted from RGB to space; moreover, hue channel used as primitive establish absolute difference (HAD) function, which reduces amount of enhances robustness matching. Then, solv...

An improved algorithm for the generation of gridded window brightness temperatures is presented. The primary data source is the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, level B3 data, covering the period from July 1983 to the present. The algorithm takes window brightness, temperatures from multiple satellites, both geostationary and polar orbiting, which have already been navigated a...
