The tau-leaping method of simulating the stochastic time evolution of a well-stirred chemically reacting system uses a Poisson approximation to take time steps that leap over many reaction events. Theory implies that tau leaping should be accurate so long as no propensity function changes its value "significantly" during any time step tau. Presented here is an improved procedure for estimating ...

This paper proposes color image compression method using hybrid wavelet transform and compares it with results obtained using hybrid transform and multi-resolution analysis. Haar wavelet is widely used in image compression. So here Haar transform is selected as base transform and combined with non-sinusoidal transforms like Slant, Walsh and Kekre transform. Hybrid Haar wavelet transforms is gen...

BACKGROUND Radio frequency ablation (RFA) has been accepted clinically as a useful local treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, intrahepatic recurrence after RFA has been reported which might be attributable to increase in intra-tumor pressure during RFA. To reduce the pressure and ablation time, we developed a novel method of RFA, a multi-step method in which a LeVeen needle, a...

We analyze a class of proportional cake-cutting algorithms that use a minimal number of cuts (n − 1 if there are n players) to divide a cake that the players value along one dimension. While these algorithms may not produce an envy-free or efficient allocation—as these terms are used in the fair-division literature—one, divide-and-conquer (D&C), minimizes the maximum number of players that any ...

Removing and reducing noise and improving the quality of image is very active research area in image processing. Various applications require various kinds of images as genesis of information for various works. Whenever an image is converted degradation occurs at the output. The output image processed through image enhancement for the removal of degradation. The main aim of Image enhancement is...

Background: Labeled leucocytes could be used for localization of infection foci after surgeries or in inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases. Extraction of leucocytes needs 10% Hetastarch which is not available in Iran. We provide a method employing multiple centrifuges to extract and label leucocytes with Tc-HMPAO. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2018 ...
