We present a powerful morphing technique based on level set methods, that can be combined with a variety of scan conversion/model processing techniques. Bringing these techniques together creates a general morphing approach that allows a user to morph a number of geometric model types in a single animation. We have developed techniques for converting several types of geometric models (polygonal...

introduction: in patients with uncomplicated primary hypertension (htn), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) are considered as monotherapy. in some studies, cough was not related to age, sex, underlying disease, or drug dosage. however, in previous studies, the incidence of cough was greater in females than males. the aim of this study is to determine the incidence of captopril-ind...

Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. Steganography is the science of embedding information into the cover image viz., text, video, and image without causing statistically significant modification to the cover image. Combining these two techni...

In this paper, we analyze in some detail the manifold-mapping optimization technique introduced recently [Echeverría and Hemker in space mapping and defect correction. Comput Methods Appl Math 5(2): 107-–136, 2005]. Manifold mapping aims at accelerating optimal design procedures that otherwise require many evaluations of time-expensive cost functions. We give a proof of convergence for the mani...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) exhibits distinctive tissue differences in electrophoretic behaviour. Human tissue homogenates and biological fluids were subjected to agar gel and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gels were cut into slices and enzymatic activity detected by a specific colorimetric reaction. The technique allows localization of the enzyme in the electrophoretog...
