introduction: to write a computational program to calculate the average glandular dose in mammography with rh-rh target-filter and also use it as an accurate and fast method of dose calculation founder different situations. materials and methods: in this research, the sobol-wu parameters are used to write a fortran code for glandular dose calculation in rh-rh target-filter mammograms. the code ...

A novel memory-based particle filter is proposed to achieve robust visual tracking of a target’s pose even with large variations in target’s position and rotation, i.e. large appearance changes. The memorybased particle filter (M-PF) is a recent extension of the particle filter, and incorporates a memory-based mechanism to predict prior distribution using past memory of target state sequence; i...

This paper explores the nature and impacts of shadow banks’ relationship lending by analyzing bilateral-connected financial firms who mutually hold each other’s debt through their own affiliated money market funds (MMFs). Using novel MMFs’ monthly holdings data, I show that, in the context of the 2011 Eurozone crisis, non-European financial firms surprisingly increased their MMFs’ stakes in bil...

This paper studies the ε-approximate range emptiness problem, where the task is to represent a set S of n points from {0, . . . , U − 1} and answer emptiness queries of the form “[a; b] ∩ S 6= ∅ ?” with a probability of false positives allowed. This generalizes the functionality of Bloom filters from single point queries to any interval length L. Setting the false positive rate to ε/L and perfo...

A class of cosine modulated filter banks in which all the sub-band filters have linear phase is presented. It has only M bands compared to the M 2 channel structures so far reported in the literature. The filter bank uses only one prototype filter for both analysis and synthesis side and structurally guarantee perfect reconstruction property. The formulation is based on DCT-II. The necessary an...

In this paper coarse media filtration has been analysed as an alternative to the traditional settling in primary, secondary and tertiary treatment of wastewater. Various filter media configurations were evaluated for enhanced primary filtration. It was found that a dual media configuration based on Kaldnes biofilm media (1 and K2modified) were most suitable when taking both separation efficienc...

Tinosorb® M is a widely used ultraviolet (UV) filter complex provided as an emulsion that contains the UV filter methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT) (45–55%, CAS no. 103597-45-1), decyl glucoside (6–10%), propylene glycol (0.2–0.6%), and xanthan gum (0.1–0.5%). Fewer than 15 cases of contact allergy to Tinosorb® M have been published (1–7), and, to our knowledge, in only ...

It is well known that having 3 temporal phase shifting (PS) interferograms we do not have many possibilities of using an algorithm with a desired frequency spectrum, detuning, and harmonic robustness. This imposes severe restrictions on the possibilities to demodulate such set of temporal interferograms. It would be nice to apply for example a 7 step PS algorithm to these 3 images in order to h...

The autocorrelation function of the all-pole filter given by the conventional linear prediction (LP) matches exactly the autocorrelation function of the input signal between indices 0 and m, when the prediction order equals m. This study describes a recently developed technique, Weighted-Sum Line Spectrum Pair (WLSP), where an all-pole filter is defined by using a sum of weighted LSP (Line Spec...

Using the transfer matrix method, the effect of temperature on thetransmission spectra of thermal tunable nano metallic photonic crystal filter has beeninvestigated. Three different materials H (high refractive index material), L (lowrefractive index material) and M as a metallic layer, have been used to make thisstructure. M layer is considered to be Silver. The complex refractive index of Sil...
