In this paper, we propose a content adaptive demosaicing algorithm, utilising content analysis and correlation between the red, green and blue planes of a particular image. These two aspects are used for the classification of the technique in the generated trained filters. The proposed method aims to reconstruct a high quality demosaiced image from a CFA Bayer pattern. The strategy highlighted ...

This paper presents a novel and fully automatic technique to estimate depth information from a single input image. The proposed method is based on a new image classification technique able to classify digital images (also in Bayer pattern format) as indoor, outdoor with geometric elements or outdoor without geometric elements. Using the information collected in the classification step a suitabl...

the solvent extraction of gallium from a concentrated jajarm bayer process liquor containing 164.90 g/l of na2o, 86.70 g/l of al2o3 and 106.02 ppm of gallium was investigated using 10 vol.% kelex100, a 7-alkyl substituted-8 hydroxyquinoline as an extractant, 10 vol.% etanol as a modifier and kerosene as a diluent. at (vo :va = 1.0:1.0) organic to aqueous phase ratio and at room temperature, 93....

in an attempt to determine the chemical losses of three common molluscicides, i.e. cuso4, napcp and bayer –73, in stagnant water, a solution of each of this molluscicide was applied to one or more b.truncatus habitats and outdoor aquariums. the concentration of each molluscicide in these water bodies was determined immediately after application and at fixed time intervals thereafter. the concen...

In this paper, we propose a demosaicing algorithm which interpolates the missing pixels on the estimated edge direction with modified edge indicator. We use gradients to estimate the edge direction which considers cross-channel correlation in addition to the within-channel correlation. After the edge direction is estimated, we interpolate the missing color values more precisely in aid of weight...

This paper analyses how research on antibiotic resistance has been a driving force in the development of new antibiotics. Drug resistance, while being a problem for physicians and patients, offers attractive perspectives for those who research and develop new medicines. It imposes limits on the usability of older medicines and simultaneously modifies pathologies in a way that opens markets for ...

Performances of two common types of red mud, Bayer red mud and Sintering red mud, were investigated in this research. Their compositions, mechanical properties and microstructure characterization were measured through XRD, TG and SEM analysis. Their shear strength, particle size, density and hydraulic characteristics also had been performed. Huge differences between the basic mineral types of t...

In 2008, the University of Cologne and Bayer Schering Pharma together decided to establish a "privileged partnership" in order to foster interactions in the field of preclinical and clinical drug discovery and development. As one of the activities of this partnership, we launched a graduate program run by the University and supported by Bayer funds. Founded in 2009, the program now provides adm...
