let g be a graph with p vertices and q edges and a = {0, 1, 2, . . . , [q/2]}. a vertex labeling f : v (g) → a induces an edge labeling f∗ defined by f∗(uv) = f(u) + f(v) for all edges uv. for a ∈ a, let vf (a) be the number of vertices v with f(v) = a. a graph g is said to be vertex equitable if there exists a vertex labeling f such that for all a and b in a, |vf (a) − vf (b)| ≤ 1 and the in...

In this paper, a modified segmentation algorithm for printed Farsi words is presented. This algorithm is based on a previous work by Azmi that uses the conditional labeling of the upper contour to find the segmentation points. The main objective is to improve the segmentation results for low quality prints. To achieve this, various modifications on local baseline detection, contour labeling an...

End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) has become a popular alternative to traditional module-based systems, simplifying the model-building process with single deep neural network architecture. However, training of end-to-end ASR systems is generally data-hungry: large amount labeled data (speech-text pairs) necessary learn direct speech-to-text conversion effectively. To make less depen...

A U-Net model was trained to perform the segmentation of bainite, ferrite and martensite on EBSD maps using kernel average misorientation pattern quality index as input. The manual labeling work eased by introducing an “unknown” class that is ignored during training. influence providing with different acquisition steps, indexation constituent content training investigated demonstrate importance...

PURPOSE To explore differences in long-term outcomes between gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). METHODS One hundred GNEC patients and 3089 GAC patients were enrolled. Differences in long-term outcomes between the groups were analyzed by 1:2 propensity score matching. RESULTS Statistically significant differences between the groups were noted in terms o...

Sequential immunologic, cytochemical, and cytokinetic studies were done on single lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood of 6 children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) and 1 child with toxoplasmosis 1-2 wk after onset of symptomatology. The absolute number of AET-SRBC rosetting (E+) cells was increased in all patients; the absolute number of cells with surface IgM (slgM+) was increased in 3 o...

The biological aggressiveness of lymph node-positive prostate cancer is closely linked to cancer volume in nodal metastases. We evaluated MIB-1 (Ki-67) labeling index and bcl-2 expression in primary cancer and matched nodal metastases from 138 node-positive patients treated with radical prostatectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy between 1987 and 1992 at the Mayo Clinic. One hundred twen...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of intrableb autologous blood injection and diode laser bleb revision on cellular proliferation in filtration blebs of rabbits. METHODS Bilateral filtration surgery with mitomycin was performed on 19 white 2.5- to 3-kg New Zealand rabbits. Autologous blood injection (n = 9) or diode laser bleb revision (n = 10) was performed on blebs of right eyes (interven...
