TCP’s congestion window controls the number of packets a TCP flow may have in the network at any time. However, long periods when the sender is idle or application-limited can lead to the invalidation of the congestion window, in that the congestion window no longer reflects current information about the state of the network. In this paper we propose a simple modification to TCP’s congestion co...

background: the opening and closing of the implantation window is important for successful pregnancy in eutherians. the recent study demonstrated that the window of uterine receptivity was prepared by the sole action of progesterone in mice, but the mechanism to close the window remained to be elucidated. methods: the pregnant mice were ovariectomized on the evening on the third day of pregnanc...

This paper describes a fully automatic approach to locate icosahedral virus particles in transmission electron microscopy images. The initial detection of the particles takes place through automatic segmentation of the entropy-proportion image; this image is computed in particular regions of interest defined by two concentric structuring elements contained in a small overlapping window running ...

New applications in elds such as augmented or virtualized reality have created a demand for dense, accurate real-time stereo reconstruction. Our goal is to reconstruct a user and her ooce environment for networked tele-immersion, which requires accurate depth values in a relatively large workspace. In order to cope with the combinatorics of stereo correspondence we can exploit the temporal cohe...

A small baseline stereo matching method based on maximum like estimation is proposed. Firstly, the mixed window strategy is used to determine the matching window for each point in the reference image. Secondly, the normalized cross correlation function is employed to compute matching cost for possible matching points in the disparity range, then the “winner-take all” strategy is utilized to com...

A new area-based stereo matching in hierarchical framework is proposed. Local methods generally measure the similarity between the image pixels using local support window. An appropriate support window, where the pixels have similar disparity, should be selected adaptively for each pixel. Our algorithm consists of the following two steps. In the first step, given an estimated initial disparity ...

This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging method that is used to detect coronary artery diseases. One of the main sources of error in this imaging method is the detection of Compton scattered photons in the photopeak energy window used for data acquisition. This results in the degradation of the image contrast, and therefore decreases the...
