Abstract— In this paper, we present feedback retina model combined with IHS model for fusion of multispectral (SPOT) and panchromatic (IKONOS) images. Multispectral images are limited by low spatial resolution. So, combining of lowresolution multi-spectral and high-resolution panchromatic images is a way for improving the spatial quality of multispectral images. An ideal fusion process preserve...

The onset of post-traumatic headache (PTC) occurs in the first seven days after trauma, according to the International Headache Society (IHS) classification. The objective of this study was to evaluate the several forms of headache that appear after mild head injury (HI) and time interval between the HI and the onset of pain. We evaluated 41 patients with diagnosis of mild HI following the IHS ...

Compound infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are problematic and usually require intervention. This retrospective study aimed to introduce a combined therapy of oral propranolol and topical timolol, and evaluate its efficacy and safety. Eighty-nine infants with compound IHs were treated with oral propranolol 2 mg/kg/day divided 2 times per day and timolol maleate 0.5% gel 3 times per day, for at least ...

BACKGROUND American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are frequently misclassified as another race in cancer surveillance systems, resulting in underestimated morbidity and mortality. Linkage methods with administrative records have been used to correct AI/AN misclassification, but AI/AN populations living in urban areas, and those who self-identify as AI/AN race, continue to be under-ascertai...

BACKGROUND The misclassification of race decreases the accuracy of cancer incidence data for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in some central cancer registries. This article describes the data sources and methods that were used to address this misclassification and to produce the cancer statistics used by most of the articles in this supplement. METHODS Records from United States ...

Recent findings in neuroscience strongly suggest that an object’s features (e.g., its color, texture, shape, etc.) are represented in separate areas of the visual cortex. Although represented in separate neuronal areas, somehow the feature representations are brought together as a single, unified object of visual consciousness. This raises a question of binding: how do neural activities in sepa...

A sample of 160 hospitalized, acute myocardial infarction patients and 138 individuals who died prior to hospitalization from acute coronary heart disease were studied to determine the incidence and duration of prodromal symptoms and action taken to cope with the symptoms. Seventy percent of the in-hospital subsample (IHS) and 64% of the out-hospital subsample (OHS) reported prodromata. The OHS...

The paper presents a method for colour image segmentation based on a region growing procedure. The algorithm works without a priori knowledge about the number of regions in the image. The similarity of colour pixels is modelled by distance in different colour spaces (RGB, YUV and IHS). Additional median filtering and small region elimination procedures are investigated. The operation of algorit...
