Interlacing causes complications in many image processing tasks. Theoretically, interlacing can be perfectly undone, but there remain a few difficulties in de-interlacing. Aliasing is an inherent artifact due to the interlaced sampling of video data. Interlacing also causes the loss of vertical resolution in the video. Motion in the video scenes need to be modelled accurately for the removal of...

The abdomen was opened by McBurney's incision and anteriorly nothing abnormal was found, the healthy caecum and ileum nicely covering up the abscess behind them. On gently exploring with the fingers behind the caecum after lifting up an adherent loop of ileum, the appendix was found in the retro-caecal position with the tip directed upwards. While exploring the abscess cavity, a little grating ...

The Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) conference is the main European event in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and testing. This outstanding event brings together researchers, users and vendors, as well as specialists in the design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE is a unification of the main conferences in the field and was built on the succes...

Classic IP traffic engineering considers a fixed IP layer topology. In this draft, we address the limitations imposed by such static network topology. This work is motivated by introducing dynamically provisioned links to improve static IP traffic engineering constraints, and leverage the freedom of provisioning links on demand. This draft introduces the concept of a closed-loop link provisioni...

The European Union is at a critical juncture in its history, not only in relation to the proposed constitution and planned enlargement, but also with respect to engagement with health and social issues. This publication provides an overview of health policy development within the European Union and the implications for Finnish health policies. Health is currently on the agenda in several sphere...

The most common practice to model the transistor chain, as it appears in CMOS gates, is to collapse it to a single equivalent transistor. This method is analyzed and improvements are presented in this paper. Inherent shortcomings are removed and an effective transistor width is calculated taking into account the operating conditions of the structure, resulting in very good agreement with SPICE ...
