Scene change detection is an essential process of frame rate up-conversion (FRUC). The performance FRUC highly dependents on the accuracy scene detection. This paper proposes a new scene-change method that uses analysis luminance level histograms for FRUC. histogram refers to statistical average value obtained from generated each region. Existing histogram-based methods calculate difference bet...

This paper proposes a novel frame rate up-conversion(FRUC) algorithm based on morphing. In order to obtain high quality interpolated frames, the proposed algorithm follows prewarping in view morphing to find more accurate matching points, and use three steps to gain dense matching points: coarse matching, error match rejecting and points densifying. Unlike conventional motion compensated interp...

Aggression involves a set of stereotyped behavioral patterns that are triggered by competition over food, territory or mates. Like any instinct, aggression must ultimately have a strong genetic basis, yet the specific genes that program aggressive behaviors into the nervous system are unknown. Recently, D. melanogaster has emerged as a powerful model system to study the genetic and neural basis...

This paper presents a new method for frame rate up-conversion using sub-sampled bilateral motion estimation, motion vector smoothing, simplified bidirectional motion compensated interpolation, and complex motion detection. The proposed method produces improved image quality and requires less computational complexity compared to conventional motion estimation. The average PSNRs of the proposed m...

We have determined a 35-kb sequence of the groESL-gutR-cotA (45 degrees-52 degrees) region of the Bacillus subtilis genome. In addition to the groESL, gutRB and cotA genes reported previously, we have newly identified 24 ORFs including gutA and fruC genes, encoding glucitol permease and fructokinase, respectively. The inherent restriction/modification system genes, hsdMR and hsdMM, were mapped ...

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fluoxetine on any hematological and biochemical parameter that could, in turn, affect the physiology and the behavior of the dog. Methods: Thirteen healthy dogs without medical or behavioral problems were included in the study. All of them received 1 mg/kg q24 h of fluoxetine for 45 days (induction period), and then 1 mg/Kg q 48 h fo...

During chronic total parenteral nutrition (TPN), net hepatic glucose uptake (NHGU) is markedly elevated. However, NHGU is reduced by the presence of an infection. We recently demonstrated that a small, acute (3-h) intraportal fructose infusion can correct the infection-induced impairment in NHGU. The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of fructose to the TPN persistently enh...

In this paper, a novel frame rate up conversion (FRUC) using modified adaptive bilateral motion estimation (MAEBME) is proposed. Traditionally, extended bilateral motion estimation (EBME) carries out bilateral motion estimation (BME) twice on the same region, therefore has high complexity. Adaptive extended bilateral motion estimation (AEBME) is proposed to reduce complexity and increase visual...
