Background: Hospital standards are one of the valuest concepture items in an organization and hospital management. The research purpose was determination of luchs of hospital evaluation current way throght the comparission with ISO quality management standards and suggestion of a model to hospital standard development based on aquired findings. Materials & Methods: This research is a descripti...

Problem statement: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a set of international standards related to the software engineering, such as ISO 12207 and ISO 9126. However, there is a set of cross-references between the two standards. Approach: The ISO 9126 on software product quality and ISO 12207 on software life cycle processes had been analyzed to invistigate the rel...

This paper presents a technique for multi-channel optical ow estimation. We combine the brightness constancy constraint with the relationship between optical ow elds and disparity elds in estimating optical ow elds by solving systems of linear equations. In this formulation, the so called round-about compatibility constraint is used to ensure the coherence between optical ow elds and to pin dow...

BACKGROUND Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α, a marker of oxidative stress, is influenced by the activation of NOX2. It is unclear if platelets 8-iso-PGF2α contribute to urinary 8-iso-PGF2α. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, platelet, urinary, and serum 8-iso-PGF2α were determined in subjects with downregulation (X-linked chronic granulomatous disease [X-CGD], n=25) and upregulation (type II ...

Most neurophysiological accounts of disparity selectivity in neurons of the primary visual cortex (V1) imply that they are selective for absolute retinal disparities. By contrast, a number of psychophysical observations indicate that relative disparities play a more important role in depth perception. During recordings from disparity selective neurons in area V1 of awake behaving monkeys, we us...

83 Abstract— Image segmentation is always a challenging task in computer vision as well as in pattern recognition. Nowadays, this method has great importance in the field of stereo vision. The disparity information extracting from the binocular image pairs has essential relevance in the fields like Stereoscopic (3D) Imaging Systems, Virtual Reality and 3D Graphics. The term 'disparity' represen...

The authors provide an overview of methods for summarizing social disparities in health using the example of lung cancer. They apply four measures of relative disparity and three measures of absolute disparity to trends in US lung cancer incidence by area-socioeconomic position and race-ethnicity from 1992 to 2004. Among females, measures of absolute and relative disparity suggested that area-s...

BACKGROUND A goal of Healthy People 2010 was to reduce health disparities. We determined the extent of reductions in geographic disparities in five breast cancer screening indicators. METHODS We examined the extent of reductions in geographic disparities in five breast cancer screening indicators using data about women ages 40 years and older from 200 counties in the 1988 to 2005 Surveillance...

Across five experiments this study investigated the disparity tuning of the stereoscopic motion aftereffect (adaptation from moving retinal disparity). Adapting and test stimuli were moving and stationary stereoscopic grating patterns, respectively, created from dynamic random-dot stereograms. Observers adapted to moving stereoscopic grating patterns presented with a given disparity and viewed ...

Since image quality of the synthesized intermediate view depends mainly on precise and dense disparity field and on detection of occlusion in multi-view applications, this paper proposes an intermediate view creation and interpolation algorithm taking advantages of transmitted and decoded disparity fields to avoid complex disparity calculation. This algorithm also combines region segmentation a...
