RNA processing is essential factor for synthesis of functional and structural proteins in eukaryote cells. In eukaryote organisms it will be initiated with transcription of DNA in nucleolus and terminated to mRNA translation in cytoplasm, finally mRNA degraded. Protein synthesis followed as different steps, includes 5' capping, poly adenylating, processing and transferring from nucleolus to cyt...

Using a multivariable Faa di Bruno formula we give conditions on transformations τ : [0, 1] → X where X is a closed and bounded subset of R such that f ◦ τ is of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy and Krause for all f ∈ C(X ). We give similar conditions for f◦τ to be smooth enough for scrambled net sampling to attain O(n−3/2+ ) accuracy. Some popular symmetric transformations to the simple...

What we believe images are determines how we take actions in image and lowlevel vision analysis. In the Bayesian framework, it is known as the importance of a good image prior model. This paper intends to give a concise overview on the vision foundation, mathematical theory, computational algorithms, and various classical as well as unexpected new applications of the BV (bounded variation) imag...

Segmentation of 3D human body (HB) scan is a very challenging problem in applications exploiting human scan data. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a topological approach based on Discrete Reeb Graph (DRG) which is an extension of the classical Reeb Graph to unorganized cloud of 3D points. The essence of the approach is detecting critical nodes in the DRG thus permitting the extractio...

the quantitative analysis of cardiac motions in echocardiography images is a noteworthy issue in processing of these images. cardiac motions can be estimated by optical flow (of) computation in different regions of image which is based on the assumption that the intensity of a moving pattern remains constant in consecutive frames. however, in echocardiographic sequences this assumption may be v...

Increase in the demand for ethanol has resulted in growth in the dry grind (DG) ethanol industry. In DG processing, the whole corn kernel is fermented, resulting in two main coproducts, ethanol and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Marketing of DDGS is critical to the economic stability of DG plants. The composition of DDGS can vary considerably; this reduces market value. Factors t...

New imaging capabilities have given rise to higher dimensional image processing. This paper presents a generalization of total variation (TV) based denoising with specific application to three-dimensional flash lidar imagery. The generalization uses a weighted norm, rather than the standard Euclidian measure, that accounts for sampling differences that may exist along different axes. We compare...

Circulating, cell-free microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising candidate biomarkers, but optimal conditions for processing blood specimens for miRNA measurement remain to be established. Our previous work showed that the majority of plasma miRNAs are likely blood cell-derived. In the course of profiling lung cancer cases versus healthy controls, we observed a broad increase in circulating miRNA levels...
