The various tasks of computer vision dealing with objects, such as recognition, registration, and measurement, have typically required the intermediate step of finding an object edge, or equivalently the list of pixels in the object. This paper proposes a means for characterizing object structure and shape that avoids the need to find an explicit edge but rather operates directly from the image...

Methods Eighteen patients ( 12 males, 6 females) with diagnosis of SoJIA according to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria were compared to 75 ageand sex-matched controls. No participant was overweight, obese, or had a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, or cardiovascular disease. Arterial stiffness (As) was evaluated by measurement of carotid...

Perception about the health status of an individual is important for the quality of life (QOL) and day-to-day productive functioning. Present study was carried out on the perception status QOL of Nepalese (aged 10 to 80 years) using SF-36v2 questionnaire. A total of 788 Nepalese (322; 40.9% were males and 466; 59.1% were females) living in Kathmandu Valley were included. More than half were Bah...

In this paper we present a tabu approach for a version of the Sports League Scheduling Problem. The approach adopted is based on a formulation of the problem as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). Tests were carried out on problem instances of up to 40 teams representing 780 integer variables with 780 values per variable. Experimental results show that this approach outperforms some existi...

For n < 41 and for n ∈ {121, 125, 128, 169, 256, 1024}, every cyclic projective plane of order n is desarguesian. In particular, the cyclic group of order 1, 049, 601 contains a unique nontrivial difference set, up to equivalence.

BACKGROUND Radiation-therapy is a complex process with multiple steps, each of which has an impact on the quality of treatment. Accurate dosimetry is a critical step during the radiotherapy of cancer patients.The aim of the present study was to measure and evaluate the doses of two cobalt- 60 (60Co) teletherapy units GWXJ80 of NPIC China and Theratron 780 of AECL Canada at various points within...
