Crowd counting is critical for numerous video surveillance scenarios. One of the main issues in this task how to handle dramatic scale variations pedestrians caused by perspective effect. To address issue, paper proposes a novel convolution neural network-based crowd method, termed Perspective-guided Fractional-Dilation Network (PFDNet). By modeling continuous variations, proposed PFDNet able s...

HYPOTHESIS Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a high-risk factor for biliary tract carcinogenesis because of a continuous reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract. It remains to be disclosed whether we should perform prophylactic excision of gallbladders and bile ducts. DESIGN A person-year method. SETTING A university hospital. PATIENTS We studied 68 patients with PBM treat...

in this paper shear behavior of two calcareous sands having different physical properties areinvestigated using drained and undrained triaxial tests. the investigated sands are obtained from two differentzones located in persian gulf, kish island and tonbak region. analysis based on energy aspects show thatfriction angle in these soils, having crushable particles, is formed of three components:...

The dilation coefficient of a graph representation is defined as the quotient of the longest and the shortest edge representation. The minimum of the dilation coefficients over all planar representations of a graph G is called the dilation coefficient of the graph G. The dilation coefficient of different planar representations of complete graphs is considered and upper and lower bounds for the ...

We provide an explicit normal distinguished boundary dilation to a pair of commuting operators (S, P ) having the closed symmetrized bidisc Γ as a spectral set. This is called Sz.-Nagy dilation of (S, P ). The operator pair that dilates (S, P ) is obtained by an application of Stinespring dilation of (S, P ) given by Agler and Young. We further prove that the dilation is minimal and the dilatio...

BACKGROUND Cervical dilation using mechanical dilators is associated with various complications, such as uterine perforation, cervical laceration, infections and intraperitoneal hemorrhage. To achieve safe and painless cervical dilation, we constructed a new medical device to achieve confident mechanical cervical dilation: a continuous controllable balloon dilator (CCBD). METHODS Controlled p...

in this paper, we first discuss about canonical dual of g-frameλp = {λip ∈ b(h, hi) : i ∈ i}, where λ = {λi ∈ b(h, hi) :i ∈ i} is a g-frame for a hilbert space h and p is the orthogonalprojection from h onto a closed subspace m. next, we provethat, if λ = {λi ∈ b(h, hi) : i ∈ i} and θ = {θi ∈ b(k, hi) :i ∈ i} be respective g-frames for non zero hilbert spaces hand k, and λ and θ are unitarily e...

  Transient ischemic left ventricular dilation (TID) is a marker of severe and extensive coronary artery disease as well as an increased risk of adverse outcomes. The patients with more severe and extensive ischemia, multivessel-type of perfusion abnormality as well as patients with left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory perfusion abnormality have more probab...

Nitric oxide (NO) contributes to hypoxia-induced pial artery dilation, at least in part, through the formation of cGMP and the subsequent release of methionine enkephalin and leucine enkephalin in the newborn pig. In separate studies, these opioids also were observed to elicit NO-dependent pial artery dilation, whereas light/dye endothelial injury reduced hypoxic pial dilation. The current stud...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of right ventricular dilation on CT pulmonary angiogram in acute pulmonary embolism and to distinguish if this feature predicts mortality independently of the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index, an established admission severity score. METHODS A retrospective study of patients admitted with pulmonary embolism confirm...
