Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...

Image on the internet is an object of copyright protection and a work that arises from someone's idea. This study aims to examine image used illegally for commercial purposes by designer filter Instagram Stories. To solve problem, this research uses normative juridical method, especially descriptive analytical analyzing Copyright Law Number 28 2014 Information, Electronic Transactions 11 2008. ...

In this article, some pretreatment techniques used for the object extraction in color debris image were introduced, which was an important basic work in ferrographic technology to identify precisely wear debris produced by friction and wear from the relative motions between machine parts. These pretreatment techniques included image enhancement, image segmentation, filling pore, image erosion, ...

Despite the attention for corporate, brand and product images, only few studies focus on methodological comparisons of image research methods. This article presents a comparison of two current instruments: the Q-sort method and a Likert attitude questionnaire. The study applies both methods to measure the image of beef, using the same assertions in similar samples of consumers. The two methods ...

Brand-extension strategies enhance success chances of new products, even though they expose brand image to dilution risks. The present work analyzes how brand-extension evaluation can affect the current brand image and proposes a theoretical model formed by five main factors related to brand associations, extension congruency and extension attitude. The model estimation includes structural equa...

bstract. We integrate stylized rendering with an efficient multiesolution image representation, enabling a user to control how ompression affects the aesthetic appearance of an image. We dopt a point-based rendering approach to progressive image transission and compression. We use a novel, adaptive farthest point ampling algorithm to represent the image at progressive levels of etail, balancing...

Urban centres in the world are undergoing facets of changes, these changes are evident in developing countries and more divergent because urban transformation in developing countries is often accompanied challenges which include traffic congestion, overcrowding, pollution and continuous land use succession. This phenomenon is not different with the central area of Minna, Nigeria. Since 2008 the...
