If you talk about the end of one century and the beginning of the next you have two choices, both of them difficult. One is to survey the mathematics over the past hundred years; the other is to predict the mathematics of the next hundred years. I have chosen the more difficult task. Everybody can predict and we will not be around to find out whether we were wrong. But giving an impression of t...

Although several 2D quality metrics have been proposed for images and videos, in the case of 3D efforts are only at the initial stages. In this paper, we propose a new full-reference quality metric for 3D content. Our method is modeled around the HVS, fusing the information of both left and right channels, considering color components, the cyclopean views of the two videos and disparity. Perfor...

objective(s) in this study we investigated the expression of gabaa receptor subunits during brain development. these receptors may change in the embryonic chick forebrain. materials and methodes the expression levels of four types of gabaa receptor gamma subunits (γ1, γ2, γ3 and γ4) were quantified in the embryonic chick forebrain at 32 hr, 3, 7, 14, and 20 days of incubation and day one after ...

We study the notions of relative comonad and comodule over a relative comonad. We use thesenotions to give categorical semantics for the coinductive type families of streams and of infinitetriangular matrices and their respective cosubstitution operations in intensional Martin-Löf typetheory. Our results are mechanized in the proof assistant Coq. 1998 ACM Subject Classification ...

among the intellectual figures of france in the 20th century, pierre bourdieu has left the greatest influence on sociological studies. in this respect he may only be compared with levi strauss, except for the fact that strauss’ influence outside france has been much less and that the foundations of strauss’ thought; that is, the structural theory of social science, has long lost its power while...

to find the effects of spring foliar application of volck® mineral oil and its combination with fertilizer on the physiological, yield and quality characteristics of pistachio fruit, this research was done in the form of a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of 12 treatments and 3 replications on ohadi pistachio cultivar in chatrud of kerman in 2006 and 2007 for a duration of two years. the...

Desert dust perturbs climate by directly and indirectly interacting with incoming solar and outgoing long wave radiation, thereby changing precipitation and temperature, in addition to modifying ocean and land biogeochemistry. While we know that desert dust is sensitive to perturbations in climate and human land use, previous studies have been unable to determine whether humans were increasing ...
