myxofibrosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of connective tissue origin commonly found in the extremities. it is very rare in the head and neck regions. only 25 cases of myxofibrosarcoma have been reported in the head and neck regions until 2014. here we report a 61-year-old male with this neoplasm in the lower border of his mandible. during a two-year follow-up, this case recurred four times desp...

The 2-D bar code possesses large capacity of data, strong ability for error correction, and high safety, which boosts the 2-D bar code recognition technology being widely used and developed fast. This paper presents a novel algorithm for locating data matrix code based on finder pattern detection and bar code border fitting. The proposed method mainly involves three stages. It first extracts ca...

Recent investigations on the bifurcation behavior of power electronic dc-dc converters has revealed that most of the observed bifurcations do not belong to generic classes like saddle-node, period doubling or Hopf bifurcations. Since these systems yield piecewise smooth maps under stroboscopic sampling, a new class of bifurcations occur in such systems when a xed point crosses the \border" betw...

A border between two image regions normally belongs to only one of the regions; determining which one it belongs to is essential for surface perception and figure-ground segmentation. Border ownership is signaled by a class of V2 neurons, even though its value depends on information coming from well outside their classical receptive fields. I use a model of V2 to show that this visual area is a...

Abstract This article deals with the border effect phenomenon affecting mobility of inhabitants in regions. It aims to identify determinants transport at municipal level, considering distance from border, populations and characteristics closest bordering country. The survey Czech Republic eventually involved 675 representatives municipalities who answered questions on inter-municipal mobility. ...

We study a particular bifurcation structure observed in the parameter space of a one-dimensional continuous piecewise smooth map generated by the credit cycle model in [23] where the map is de…ned over the absorbing interval via three functions, one of which is a constant. We show that the ‡at branch gives rise to superstable cycles whose periodicity regions are ordered according to a modi…ed U...

The centroid localization scheme is a very efficient and resource aware algorithm to estimate a position. On a sensor node, the precision of the position depends on the number of different beacons positions the node receives. In networks with a small transmission range, the localization error behaves very balanced over the whole network. But in very large sensor networks with high transmission ...

We carry out a detailed sensitivity analysis of border carbon adjustment (rates) by applying a global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) GTAP7-based model. We find different incentives for the regions in the climate coalition to raise carbon-based border tax rates (BTAX) above the standard rate that mimics an equalisation of carbon prices across regions. Herein, the strategic use of BTAX (the...
