Traditional techniques for tracking non-rigid objects such as optical flow, correlation, active contours or color, can not deal with situations where image changes are not due to motion but appearance (e.g. tracking the lips when the teeth appear). Two main contributions for appearance tracking of flexible objects are proposed. The first one is a flexible generalization of Eigentracking within ...

Earthworm fibrinolytic enzyme III-1 (EFE-III-1) was prepared to couple with cross-linking agarose activated by 1,'-Carbonyl- diimidazole (CDI) in this study. Although the activity of the immobilized protease decreased to approximately 64% of the native enzyme, the activity of EFE-III-1 coupled with the resin activated by CDI was higher than that activated by cyanogen bromide (CNBr). The immobil...

In MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics)-based theories the strong equivalence principle is generically broken in an idiosyncratic manner, manifested action of "external field effect (EFE)". The internal dynamics a self-gravitating system affected even by constant external field. disk galaxies EFE can induce warps and modify rotational speeds. Due to non-linearity MOND, it difficult derive analyti...

Emotional facial expression (EFE) decoding skills have been shown to be impaired in recovering alcoholics (RA). The aim of the present study is to replicate these results and to explore whether these abnormalities are specific to alcoholism using two control groups: non-patient controls (NC) and patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OC). Twenty-two alcoholic patients at the end of their ...

This research is to determine the development strategy at UD. Sumber Abadi using SWOT analysis method. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and interviews. The results this study obtained that main internal strength factor location production close a snack agent or food shop. Meanwhile, result external factors opportunity, namely product has legality licensing from government. For cal...

The exponential increase in the use of mobile phone in recent years raised problem associated of health risk with electromagnetic field exposure (EFE).The electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phone and base station transceiver (BTS) may causes biological effects as they are designed to operate in 900-1800MHz with 12.5% duty cycle. These radiation is non-ionizing type which may have long term...

The Engrailed homeodomain protein is an 'active' or dominant transcriptional repressor in cultured cells. In contrast, the Fushi Tarazu homeodomain protein is an activator, both in cultured cells and in Drosophila embryos, where it activates several known target genes, including its own gene. This auto-activation has been shown to depend on targeting to a fushi tarazu enhancer by the Fushi Tara...

Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is characterized by deposition of collagen and elastin leading to ventricular hypertrophy and diffuse endocardial thickening. Here we report (for the first time in Korea) the case of a EFE presenting with heart failure. The patient was a 57-year-old woman who had complained of dyspnea on exertion {New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3} and abdomin...

BACKGROUND ECG-gated rest-stress cardiac PET can lead to simultaneous quantification of both left ventricular ejection fraction and flow impairment. In this study, our aim was to assess the benefit of rest and stress PET ejection fraction (EF) (EFp) in relation to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) EF (EFs) and echocardiography EF (EFe). To this effect, the EFp was compared with...
