Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, acroosteolysis, bone fragility, and skull deformities. Recently, mutations in the gene encoding cathepsin K (CK), a lysosomal cysteine protease localized exclusively in osteoclasts, were found to be responsible for this disease. We analyzed genomic DNA from four unrelated Japanese pa...

Recently fusion frame was considered as a generalization of frame in Hilbert spaces. In this paper, we establish several new inequalities for fusion frames with a scalar in Hilbert spaces. It is shown that the results we obtained can immediately lead to the existing corresponding results when we choose suitable scalars. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 42C15, 47B40.

Abstract. Block sequences with respect to frames in Hilbert spaces have been defined. Examples have been provided to show that a block sequence with respect to a given frame may not even be a Bessel sequence. Also, a necessary and sufficient condition under which a block sequence with respect to a frame is a frame has been given. Further, applications of block sequences to obtain Fusion frames ...

Coronavirus host and cell specificities are determined by specific interactions between the viral spike (S) protein and host cell receptor(s). Avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis (IBV) has been adapted to embryonated chicken eggs, primary chicken kidney (CK) cells, monkey kidney cell line Vero, and other human and animal cells. Here we report that acquisition of the cell-cell fusion activit...

In this study, video super-resolution using particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to super-resolve low-resolution (LR) frames. The proposed super-resolution method consists of three main modules, i.e., supersampling, spatio-temporal classification, and frame fusion using PSO. In the proposed method, the LR frames are super-resolved to high-resolution frames through the fusion of four fu...

Adaptive Frame Selection for Enhanced Face Recognition in Low-Resolution Videos by Raghavender Reddy Jillela Master of Science in Electrical Engineering West Virginia University Arun Ross, PhD., Chair Performing face detection and recognition in low-resolution videos (e.g., surveillance videos) is a challenging task. To enhance the biometric content in these videos, imagelevel and score-level f...

Frames for Hilbert spaces were first introduced by Duffin and Schaeffer [10] in 1952 to study some problems in nonharmonic Fourier series, reintroduced in 1986 by Daubechies, Grossmann and Meyer [8]. Frames are very useful in characterization of function spaces and other fields of applications such as filter bank theory, sigmadelta quantization, signal and image processing and wireless communic...
