Recent advances in wearable camera technology have led to novel applications in the field of Preventive Medicine. For some of them, such as cognitive training of elderly people by digital memories and detection of unhealthy social trends associated to neuropsychological disorders, social interaction are of special interest. Our purpose is to address this problem in the domain of egocentric phot...

Recently, there are numerous publications in different sources devoted to the study of the structure, composition, functions and essence of finances of households and their influence on the organization of economic relations between the main elements of the financial system of a state. Current financial science represents some theoretical and scientific concepts in terms of activities of househ...

This paper presents a 3D echocardiographic image segmen-tation procedure based on deformable surfaces. We rst propose to adapt ltering techniques to the cylindrical geometry of several 3D ultrasound image devices. Then we compare the eeect of diierent external forces on a surface template deformation inside volumetric echocardiographic images. An original method involving region grey-level anal...

In these lecture notes for the Les Houches School on Applications of Random Matrices in Physics we give an introduction to the connections between matrix models and topological strings. We first review some basic results of matrix model technology and then we focus on type B topological strings. We present the main results of Dijkgraaf and Vafa describing the spacetime string dynamics on certai...

System clock uncertainty, in the form of random skew and jitter, is beginning to affect performance of large microprocessors significantly. Process and environmental variations and inter-signal coupling on a chip contribute significant delay variations in long clock lines, and these variations are predicted to make the now widely-used clock tree distribution untenable. Distributed clock generat...

in the present paper, we introduce the sequence space [{l_p}(e,delta) = left{ x = (x_n)_{n = 1}^infty : sum_{n = 1}^infty left|  sum_{j in {e_n}} x_j - sum_{j in e_{n + 1}} x_jright| ^p < infty right},] where $e=(e_n)$ is a partition of finite subsets of the positive integers and $pge 1$. we investigate its topological properties and inclusion relations. moreover, we consider the problem of fin...

HAMID HASSANPOUR School of Information Technology and Computer Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper, a new method is presented for noise reduction in signal using partial differential equations. In this approach, the signal is initially represented as a matrix. Then using singu...
