ÐDepth from defocus (DFD) problem involves calculating the depth of various points in a scene by modeling the effect that the focal parameters of the camera have on images acquired with a small depth of field. In this paper, we propose a MAP-MRF-based scheme for recovering the depth and the focused image of a scene from two defocused images. The space-variant blur parameter and the focused imag...

In this paper, we study disassembly sequencing flexibility that means the possibility of interchanging the order in which the required disassembly operations are performed. A mathematical model to design joint cellular disassembly systems is proposed, in which the trade-off of throughput time performances between the case of considering and the case of not considering disassembly sequencing fle...

For environmentally conscious and sustainable manufacturing, many more manufacturers are acting to recycle and remanufacture their post-consumed products. The most critical process of remanufacturing is disassembly, since it allows for the selective extraction of the valuable components and materials from returned products to reduce the waste disposal volume. It is, therefore, important to desi...

25 Pre-slaughter stress has adverse effects on meat quality that can lead to the 26 occurrence of Dark Firm Dry (DFD) meat in cattle. This study explores the previously 27 uncharacterized proteome changes linked to pre-slaughter stress in the longissimus 28 thoracis (LT) bovine muscle. Differential proteome profiles of DFD and normal (non29 DFD) LT meat samples from male calves of Rubia Gallega...

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis was prevented in 0, 50, 100, and 100% of immunosuppressed rats given doses of 0.5, 5.0, 25.0, and 125.0 mg/kg (body weight) per day, respectively, of 4,4'-sulfonylbisformanilide (DFD). Therapeutic efficacy was demonstrated with DFD at 25.0 mg/kg per day, and when this dose was combined with trimethoprim, the combination was as effective as trimethoprim-sulfameth...

Baptized “LAR Video”, method proposed in this paper describes a new lossless video coding algorithm with advanced semantic scalability. Motion estimation and compensation steps are first achieved to produce the well known displaced frame difference (DFD). The basic idea is to apply on this residual error a pyramidal decomposition based on an efficient scalable image compression technique, named...

The diversity gain of the joint error probability (JEP) of the decorrelating decision feedback detector (D-DFD) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in the presence of Rician fading is considered. Upper bounds on the JEP are derived for both M-ary Phase-Shift-Keying (PSK) and M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). It is shown that the diversity gain of the D-DFD receiver in b...
