This article describes a fast iterative algorithm for image denoising and deconvolution with signal-dependent observation noise. We use an optimization strategy based on variable splitting that adapts traditional Gaussian noise-based restoration algorithms to account for the observed image being corrupted by mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise and quantization errors.

In the rapidly developing modern society, many raw materials, such as crushed limestone and river sand, which are limited, are consumed by the concrete industry. Naturally, the usage of waste materials in concrete have become an interesting research area in recent years, which is used to reduce the negative influence of concrete on the environment. Hence, this paper presents the development of ...

Consider a definition of depth of a logic as the supremum of ordinal types of wellordered descending chains. This extends the usual definition of codimension to infinite depths. Logics may either have no depth, or have countable depth in case a maximal well-ordered chain exists, or be of depth !1. We shall exhibit logics of all three types. We show in particular that many well-known systems, am...

A 2nd-order, L-stable Rosenbrock method from the eld of sti ordinary di erential equations is studied for application to atmospheric dispersion problems describing photochemistry, advective and turbulent di usive transport. Partial di erential equation problems of this type occur in the eld of air pollution modelling. The focal point of the paper is to examine the Rosenbrock method for reliable...

Cabbage belonging to Brassicaceae family is one of the most important vegetables cultivated worldwide. The economically important part of cabbage crop is head, formed by leaves which may be of splitting and non-splitting types. Cabbage varieties showing head splitting causes huge loss to the farmers and therefore finding the molecular and structural basis of splitting types would be helpful to ...

The proposed hybrid stage shop scheduling (HSSS) model, inspired from a real case in the high-fashion industry, aims to fully exploit the potential of parallel resources, splitting and overlapping concurrent operations among teams of multifunctional machines and operators on the same job. The HSSS formally extends mixed shop scheduling (a combination of flowshop and open shop), which is able to...

In this paper, we propose a new ridge-type estimator called the new mixed ridge estimator (NMRE) by unifying the sample and prior information in linear measurement error model with additional stochastic linear restrictions. The new estimator is a generalization of the mixed estimator (ME) and ridge estimator (RE). The performances of this new estimator and mixed ridge estimator (MRE) against th...

The present work introduces a modified scheme for the solution of compressible 2-D full Navier-Stokes equations, using Flux Vector Splitting method. As a result of this modification, numerical diffusion is reduced. The computer code which is developed based on this algorithm can be used easily and accurately to analyze complex flow fields with discontinuity in properties, in cases such as shock...

We considered atmospheres comprised of two density regions of cyclotron resonant scattering and of almost no cyclotron resonant scattering where photon splitting occurs. Photon splitting occurs over a larger scale than cyclotron resonant scattering, since it occurs in a super-strong magnetic field regardless of the existence of a plasma. We investigated emergent spectra using the polarization-a...
