Triangle meshes are a common representation for geometric shapes in computer graphics. However, limited transmission bandwidth disables quick preview of detailed models when represented in standard formats. In this paper, we validate the Progressive Mesh (PM) representation as a compact , lossless, and hierarchical format that enables a broad range of applications, for example , mesh reduction ...

background: patients with b-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (b-cll) have hetero-geneous clinical courses, thus several biological parameters need to be added to the cur-rent clinical staging systems to predict disease outcome. recent immunophenotypic stud-ies performed mainly in western populations have demonstrated the prognostic value of cd38 and zap-70 expression in b-cll. objectives: to i...

multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease caused by damage to the myelin of the nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain, ms was classified into 4 types including: relasping/remitting (rr) primary/progressive (pp), secondary/progressive (sp), progressive/relapsing (pr). pr ms is one of the severe forms of ms that lead to inflammation associated physical, mental and vision dysfunction. because...

A progressive curve representation based on reverse subdivision is introduced. Multiresolution structures for common subdivision rules that have both banded reconstruction and decomposition filters are produced. Multiresolution filters are usually applied to the whole curve uniformly, while progressive curves are based on collapse and split operations that can be applied locally on any portion ...

This paper investigates the benefits of progressive transmission of vector data, through designing and developing a hierarchical data model to compress vector data for progressive transmission over the internet. The aim of the hierarchical data model is to extract a coarse vector data set using vertex removal operations. Furthermore, a set of rules are proposed to control the validity of topolo...
