A completely nonparametric approach to population bioequivalence in crossover trials has been suggested by Munk and Czado (1999). It is based on the Mallows (1972) metric as a nonparametric distance measure which allows the comparison between the entire distribution functions of test and reference formulations. It was shown that a separation between carry-over and period eeects is not possible ...

ÐThis paper presents the measurement of colored object reflectance, under different, general assumptions regarding the imaging conditions. We exploit the Gaussian scale-space paradigm for color images to define a framework for the robust measurement of object reflectance from color images. Object reflectance is derived from a physical reflectance model based on the Kubelka-Munk theory for color...

the proposed algorithm suggests a new method for determination of k/s value of primaries based on linear least squares technique. by applying the matrix pseudoinverse, a modification is introduced to eliminate the limitation on the numbers of applied dyes in one – constant kubelka-munk theory. the selection of dyes for tristimulus matching are also done on the basis of the initial spectrophotom...

PURPOSE To compare the success rate of monocanalicular versus bicanalicular silicone intubation of the nasolacrimal duct for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). METHODS In a prospective randomized clinical trial, 70 eyes of 57 children with CNLDO underwent either monocanalicular silicone intubation (MCI) (n = 35 eyes) or bicanalicular silicone intubation (BCI) (n = 35 eyes). All...

Observations of scattering of low-frequency sound in the ocean have focused largely on effects at long ranges, involving multiple scattering events. Fluctuations due to one and two scattering events are analyzed here, using 75-Hz broadband signals transmitted in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The experimental geometry gives two purely refracted arrivals. The temporal and vertical scales of ph...

We relate the Kubelka-Munk equations for description of intensity transfer light in turbid media to a one-dimensional diffusion equation, which is obtained by averaging three-dimensional equation over lateral directions. This enables us identify uniquely parameters and derive expressions diffuse reflection transmission coefficients including effect internal reflections. Without reflections we r...

An algorithm is suggested for implementation of unlimited primaries in two-constants Kubelka-Munk color matching attempt. Allen's method for tristimulus color matching which was limited to four colorants in two constant theory, dealt with inversable matrices. By application of the pseudo-inverse, it is not necessary to limit the number of primary colors to four as Allen suggested. The suggested...
