This paper proposes an improvement to the texture generation-based image in-painting algorithm, using multi-resolution analysis. Instead of optimizing the size of the neighborhood window of the synthesized pixel and the size of the test image, the approach described in this paper applies the same (minimal) window and test image size to different sub-bands of the discrete wavelet transformed (DW...

Detection of natural selection operating at the amino acid sequence level is important in the study of molecular evolution. Single-site analysis and one-dimensional window analysis can be used to detect selection when the biological functions of amino acid sites are unknown. Single-site analysis is useful when selection operates more or less constantly over evolutionary time, but less so when s...

Different parallelization techniques for reductions have been proposed elsewhere, that we have classified in this paper into two classes: LPO (Loop Partitioning Oriented techniques) and DPO (Data Partitioning Oriented techniques). We have analyzed both classes in terms of a set of performance properties: data locality, memory overhead, parallelism and workload balancing. In this paper we propos...

X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are expensive instruments with the accelerator holding the largest portion of the cost of the entire facility. Using a highenergy gain dielectric wakefield accelerator (DWA) instead of the conventional accelerator may reduce the facility size and, significantly, its cost. We show that a collinear dielectric wakefield accelerator can, in principle, accelerate lo...

Dielectric wakefield acceleration (DWA) presents us with means to achieve the accelerating gradient high above the limits of conventional accelerators. In a typical DWA scheme a higher energy lower charge main bunch is accelerated in the wakefield produced by a preceding lower energy higher charge drive bunch inside of a hollow metal-encapsulated dielectric tube. To make use of as much energy o...

A teleoperation system has been developed that enables two human operators to safely control two collaborative mobile robots in unknown and dynamic environments from any two PCs connected to the Internet by installing developed client program on them and by using simple force feedback joysticks. On the graphical user interfaces, the operators receive images forwarded by the cameras mounted on t...

Most windowing systems follow the independent overlapping windows approach, which emerged as an answer to the needs of early computer users. Due to advances in computers, display technology, and increased information needs, modern users demand more functionality from window management systems. We propose Elastic Windows with improved spatial layout and rapid multi-window operations as an altern...

the aim of this study was to compare the lateral window and osteotome techniques for sinus lifting using histological and histomorphometric methods.in this clinical trial 10 patients (a total number of 14 sinus areas) who needed implant treatment in the atrophic posterior maxilla were enrolled. in all the cases the residual bone height between the sinus floor and the alveolar crest was less tha...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrastructural studies for pinopodes expression after ovarian hyperstimulation and progesterone injection in mice. materials and methods: adult nmri mice were superovulated using human menopasual gonadotropic (hmg) and human chorionic gonadotropic (hcg) hormones; after that, daily injection of progesterone (1 mg/mouse) ...
