We want to make a window switching interface where the most popular items are bigger, because big things are easier to hit. * SCOTZ means Spatially COnsistent Thumbnail Zones * It supports rapid switching to applications (by zones) and windows (by thumbnails) * It is shown full screen when you press a special function key * Repetitiveness: The more you use an item, the bigger it gets * Spatial ...

Designing of dual-band bandpass filters has become wide spreading to support wireless communication system standards including WLANs [1-6]. Although they have presented new structures for reducing size by using a quarter wavelength structure in [1-3], meandered resonator to increase coupling value for high selectivity [4-5], and interdigital capacitors between resonators for high selectivity, t...

In this work, we study the problem of voxel-based shape decomposition and simplification to create simplified 3D models, called 3D thumbnails, which preserve the salient features of their original models to facilitate users’ interac...

The metabolic dealkylation of nine nitrosodialkylamines, including five symmetrical (nitrosodimethylamine, nitrosodiethylamine, nitrosodipropylamine, nitrosodibutylamine and nitrosodiamylamine) and four asymmetrical nitrosodialkylamines (nitrosomethylethylamine, nitrosomethylpropylamine, nitrosomethylbutylamine and nitrosomethylamylamine), was investigated in 14 samples of human liver microsome...

We consider the problem of how to present web image retrieval results to users. When a user submits an image query to search engines such as Google or Yahoo, the image results are returned in a list of thumbnails. If a query has multiple meanings, the user would have to sift through the long list in order to find the intended ones. The IR community has explored the topic of document clustering ...

Organ shape and size, and, ultimately, organ function, relate in part to the cell and tissue spatial arrangement that takes place during embryonic development. Despite great advances in the genetic regulatory networks responsible for tissue and organ development, it is not yet clearly understood how specific gene functions are linked to the specific morphogenetic processes underlying the intern...

In this paper, we present a query-dependent thumbnailing approach for web image search. Motivated by the fact that uniform downsampling cannot emphasize query objects while saliency-based methods may present incorrect foreground objects, we propose to employ common object discovery (COD) algorithms to mine the underlying canonical query objects from the result image collection and adopt the det...
