This paper presents a generic framework for novel view synthesis from two uncalibrated reference views that allows to move a virtual camera along a curve that is obtained starting from the epipolar geometry of the reference views. The scene is described by its relative affine structure from which novel views are extrapolated and interpolated. The main contribution of this paper is an automatic ...

A simplified wet-ashing technique is described for the determination of chelated iron in the urine, with special reference to DTPA-bound iron. The procedure dispenses with the need for quantitative transfer, and gives corresponding economy in time, labour, and glassware without loss of precision. The standard error of the mean estimate of a triplicate determination, using four reference standar...

the aim of ideal canal preparation is to prevent iatrogenic aberrations such as transportation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal transportation by reciproc file with and without glide path.thirty acrylic-resin blocks with a curvature of 60° and size#10 (2% taper) were assigned into two groups (n= 15). in group 1, the glide path was performed using stainless steel k-files siz...

It has been suggested that systemic fluoride absorption from drinking water may be influenced by the type of fluoride compound in the water and by water hardness. Using a human double-blind cross-over trial, we conducted this study to measure c(max), T(max), and Area Under the Curve (AUC) for plasma F concentration against time, following the ingestion of naturally fluoridated hard and soft wat...

BACKGROUND Thrombelastography is a useful tool in assessment of hemostasis. Beside the traditional variables, the velocity curve and the variable delta have lately earned attention. The velocity curve provides knowledge about the speed of clot formation including information about thrombin generation. Delta, which only reflects enzymatic coagulation, allows the determination of the origin of hy...

Assessment of the cervical spine using x-ray radiography is an important task when providing emergency room care to trauma patients. In clinical practice, a physician will inspect the alignment of the cervical spine vertebrae by mentally tracing three alignment curves along the anterior and posterior sides of the cervical vertebral bodies, as well as one along the spinolaminar junction. In this...

AIM To construct a reference range of SpO2 values in healthy preterm infants using a simple data logging device. METHODS Thirty three healthy preterm infants were monitored for a continuous period of 4 hours at rest using an Ohmeda Biox 3700 E Pulse Oximeter and an electronic data logger (Rustrack Ranger). Stored data were downloaded and saved as individual files on a personal computer. RES...

Gait recordings exhibit intra-subject, inter-subject, within-trial and between-trial variability as well as data analysis methods. In medicine, comparison of different measuring method results or quantifying changes due to specific treatment is required. The aim of this study was to compare a group homogeneity with respect to dispersion around the reference curve and to compare waveforms of nor...

The characteristics of the transcapillary transfer of fluorescein dye in the optic disc of healthy individuals has been studied. A diffusible fluorescein dye and a nondiffusible reference substance, indocyanine green (ICG), which was assumed to remain in the capillaries, were injected into the circulatory system. The time courses of the concentrations of the two dyes in the optic disc were dete...

Reference 1] Tomm a s Pajdla and Luc Van Gool. Matching of 3-D curves using semi-diierential invariants. Abstract A method for matching 3-D curves under Euclidean motions is presented. Our approach uses a semi-diierential invariant description requiring only rst derivatives and one reference point, thus avoiding the computation of high order derivatives. A novel curve similarity measure buildin...
