This document is complementary to our ICIP 2015 paper titled " A Fast Method for Inferring High-Quality Simply-Connected Superpixels ". It contains additional examples for a visual comparison between the different methods.

A new implementation for minimally redundant radix-4 SRT division with the recurrence in the signed-digit format is introduced. The implementation is developed based on the comparison multiples idea. In the proposed approach, the quotient digit’s magnitude is calculated by comparing the truncated partial remainder with two limited precision multiples of the divisor. The sign is determined by in...

Re-representation is a mechanism for aligning non-identical structurally corresponding predicates during comparison. Re-representation is therefore a shift in the encoding of a stimulus from an initial set of elements to an altered set. For example, when comparing two analogous sentences, different verbs could be re-represented to allow a match – thereby altering construal. Re-representation is...

This paper studies effects of price floors in a simple model of vertical product differentiation. We find that even non-binding price floors can increase quality on the market, if the cost of quality is sufficiently low. Where a binding price floor does not change the equilibrium quality, it makes consumers worse off. There is also a possibility of overinvestment into quality as a result of the...

This paper presents simple proofs of the principal results of the Perron-Frobenius theory for linear mappings on finite-dimensional spaces which are nonnegative relative to a general partial ordering on the space. The principal tool for these proofs is an application of the theory of norms in finite dimensions to the study of order inequalities of the form Ax S ax, x è 0 where A ^ 0. This appro...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How attractive someone is perceived to be depends on the individual or cultural standards to which this person is compared. But although comparisons play a central role in the way people judge the appearance of others, the brain processes underlying attractiveness comparisons remain unknown. In the present experiment, we tested the hypothesis that attractiv...

The Unified Biosocial Theory of Personality developed by Cloninger has been applied in different cultures. Distribution by age and sex of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) dimensions were assessed cross-culturally for samples in Spain and the USA. Three non-clinical samples were included: i) 404 participants from Asturias (Spain); ii) 240 participants from Burgos (Spain); and iii) 3...
