With the advent of remote sensing, the requirement of high resolution images that can provide high quality spectral and spatial information has increased. Due to cost and circuitry issues, the satellite sensors are capable of providing either multispectral (MS) images with high spectral and low spatial resolution or Panchromatic (pan) images with high spatial and low spectral resolution. Pansha...

Object detection plays an important role in computer vision. It has a variety of applications, including security detection, vehicle recognition, and service robots. With the continuous improvement public databases development deep learning, object witnessed significant breakthroughs. However, sweeping robots during operations should consider various factors, camera angle, indoor scenery, ident...

The synthesis of heat integrated multi-component distillation systems is complex due to its huge search space for structural combination and optimization computation. To provide a systematic approach and tools for the synthesis design of distillation systems, a new method for modeling heat integrated columns is presented, and the operating cost objective function is minimized by improved harmon...

The objective of image fusion (or sometimes pan sharpening) is to produce a single image containing the best aspects of the source images. Some desirable aspects are high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution. With the development of space borne imaging sensors, a unified image fusion approach suitable for all employed imaging sources becomes necessary. Among various image fusion meth...

BACKGROUND Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is rare; however, it disproportionately affects the American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) population. The purpose of the study was to characterize GBC among AI/AN in the US population. METHODS Cases of GBC diagnosed between 1999 and 2004 and collected by state-based cancer registries were included. Registry records were linked with Indian Health Servic...

From 1969 to 1990 the alcoholism mortality rate for American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) has been steadily decreasing. Compared to the U.S. All Races overall rate decrease of 7.8% in that time period, the AI/AN rate has decreased 33.6%, a remarkable fourfold decrease in the mortality rate due to alcoholism. In the decade from 1978 to 1988 the rate decreased from 64.5/100,000 in 1978 to 37.3/...
