There has been a great deal of work done on scale and rotation-invariant object detection using Optical Correlation Filters. However, very little has been written on the possibility of using these lters to estimate these parameters. In this article, we illustrate how this can be accomplished for facial images.

Present study was undertaken to study the prevalence of β-haemolytic streptococci in equine of northern temperate region of Jammu and Kashmir, India. One hundred and forty one samples were collected in duplicate from nasopharyngeal tract of diseased (53) and apparently healthy equine (88) for isolation and direct PCR. A total of 77 isolates of streptococci were recovered from 141 samples with a...

BACKGROUND Improvement in swimming performance involves the dynamic alignment of the body in liquid, technical skill, anthropometric characteristics of athletes, and the ability to develop propulsive force. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between the propulsive force during swimming and arm muscle area (AMA) and propose an equation to estimate the propulsive force in young...

We evaluate the performance of a nonparametric method based on Fourier analysis to estimate volatility and correlation as functions of time. Being based on integration rather than on differentiation, the method naturally exploits the inhomogeneous time structure of the high frequency prices and does not required any prior data manipulation. Through Monte Carlo experiments, we show that the meth...

We examined innate immune responses to the intracellular bacterium Rhodococcus equi and show that infection of macrophages with intact bacteria induced the rapid translocation of NF-kappa B and the production of a variety of proinflammatory mediators, including TNF, IL-12, and NO. Macrophages from mice deficient in MyD88 failed to translocate NF-kappa B and produced virtually no cytokines in re...
