We discuss two image-based 3D modeling methods based on a multiresolution evolution of a volumetric function’s level set. In the former method, the role of the level set implosion is to fuse (“sew” and “stitch”) together several partial reconstructions (depth maps) into a closed model. In the later, the level set’s implosion is steered directly by the texture mismatch between views. Both soluti...

Sir,?Before making oyer charge of this office, I would, in continuation of my letter to your address, No. 37 of 28th June last, beg to place on record two statements shewing the rates of mortality, causes of death, and ages of the deceased amo...

Different lesion sets and ablation techniques have been performed. We compared these outcomes in search of the best method. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who have undergone AF surgery different from the maze III. The surgical lesion sets were pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone, left atrial maze (LAM) and bi-atrial maze (BAM) and were made with different ablation techniques...

Why are some family SMEs more innovative than others? We use the heterogeneity within to explore how their socioemotional wealth (SEW) affects innovativeness. The ubiquity of smaller firms means that innovativeness is critical for policymakers, such as those in United Arab Emirates, seeking innovation-led development. conduct a multi-case study analysis SEW and fourteen based Emirates. Particip...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important technologies future (Crew, 2020). So far, however, AI has been insufficiently deployed. This applies not only to family businesses, but especially them. In terms decision-making, these companies have a number specific characteristics which mean that they find less relevant and may also be skeptical. The article discusses specifics use in...

In this paper we discuss two imagebased 3D modeling methods based on a multi-resolution evolution of a volumetric function's levelset. In the former the role of the levelset implosion is to fuse ("sew'' and "stitch") together several partial reconstructions (depth maps) into a closed model. In the latter the levelset's implosion is steered directly by the texture mismatch between views. Both so...

A missense mutation (A385 to T), predicting an Ile129 to Phe substitution, in the human Secretor alpha 1,2-fucosyltransferase gene was present in double dose in Lewis(a+b+) individuals, but not in Lewis(a-b+) individuals. Co-segregation of the Lewis(a+b+) phenotype with homozygosity for the mutation was also verified. These results yield a potential molecular basis for the weak Secretor allele ...

This review presents various perspectives on converting user keywords into a formal query. Without understanding the dataset’s underlying structure, how can input text-based query and then convert this text semantic protocol resource description framework language (SPARQL) that deals with (RDF) knowledge base? The may not know structure syntax of SPARQL, sophisticated tool for web (SEW) its vas...

One of the biggest challenges of the Semantic Web is to make its tools usable by ordinary users for grass-roots production and integration of semantic information. This paper introduces the ongoing research on this issue in our research group at the Information Sciences Institute. 1. RESEARCH OVERVIEW Despite years of intense work and research on the Semantic Web, it has not become a reality. O...

The reaction kinetics of gasification are important for the design of gasifiers using biomass feedstocks, such as lignin, produced in biorefinery processes. Condensed and uncondensed lignin samples used in the present study were prepared using the SEW (SO2-ethanolwater) fractionation process applied to spruce wood chips: the dissolved lignin is precipitated during the recovery of SO2 and ethano...
