introduction: motion of the patient during myocardial perfusion spect could potentially results in false perfusion defects. the effect of different reconstruction methods on these artifacts is not studied. clarification of the relation between the extent, severity and duration of motion with the resultant artifacts may be helpful in designing special soft wares for motion correction. this study...

In this paper, by using the sequence of adjointable operators from pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $ into a Hilbert $ mathcal{A} $-module $ E $. We introduce frames with bounds in pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $. New frames in Hilbert modules over pro-C*-algebras are called standard $ ast $-frames of multipliers. Meanwhile, we study several useful properties of standard $ ast $-frames in Hilbert modu...

in this note‎, ‎we aim to show that several known generalizations of frames are equivalent to the continuous frame‎ ‎defined by ali et al‎. ‎in 1993‎. ‎indeed‎, ‎it is shown that these generalizations can be considered as an operator between two hilbert spaces‎.

Mintz (2003) found that in English child-directed speech, frequently occurring frames formed by linking the preceding (A) and succeeding (B) word (A_x_B) could accurately predict the syntactic category of the intervening word (x). This has been successfully extended to French (Chemla, Mintz, Bernal, & Christophe, 2009). In this paper, we show that, as for Dutch (Erkelens, 2009), frequent frames...

Fragility curves represent the probabilities that structural damages, under various levels of seismic excitation, will exceed the specified damage states by means of earthquake intensity damage relations. Conceptual aspects related to seismic vulnerability, damage and risk evaluation are discussed first, together with a short review of the most widely used possibilities for the seismic evaluati...

Response modification factor (R-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. Relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. The present paper tries to evaluate the R-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (CBFs) and special moment frames (MRFs) in ...

This paper presents a blind watermarking algorithm for medical images and medical video frames based on Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Digital Wavelet Transform (DWT). Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) is used as a method for blindness of our scheme. Different types of medical video frames are used in the evaluation process such as MRI, CT, Ultrasound and X-Rays. Experimental results ...

In this paper, an algorithmic architecture of video compression at very low bit rate is presented. This architecture incorporates block-based as well as segment-based coding algorithms and manages them in a cooperative way in which different approaches are applied to different image frames iteratively: I and P frames are coded by block-based algorithm and 0 frames are coded by segment-based alg...

In 1996, a common trinucleotide circular code, called X, is identified in genes of eukaryotes and prokaryotes (Arquès and Michel, 1996). This circular code X is a set of 20 trinucleotides allowing the reading frames in genes to be retrieved locally, i.e. anywhere in genes and in particular without start codons. This reading frame retrieval needs a window length l of 12 nucleotides (l ≥ 12). Wit...
