A tri-state optical signal detector (TOD) is designed in this article to improve the accuracy and stability of decoding results ternary computer (TOC). The TOD consists three modules: a light-sensing module, voltage divider data latching conversion module. First, circuit with adjustable resistors used achieve parallel optical–electrical for each LCD pixel on photosensitive sensor plus latch str...

BACKGROUND Low tri-iodothyronine syndrome is associated with worse prognosis of severely ill patients. We investigated the association of thyroid hormone levels with discharge outcomes and 5-year mortality in primary brain tumor patients. METHODS From January, 2010 until September, 2011, 230 patients (70% women) before brain tumor surgery were evaluated for cognitive (Mini mental State Examin...

Combining graph regularization with nonnegative matrix (tri-)factorization (NMF) has shown great performance improvement compared with traditional nonnegativematrix (tri-)factorizationmodels due to its ability to utilize the geometric structure of the documents and words. In this paper, we show that these models are not well-defined and suffering from trivial solution and scale transfer problem...

An efficient synthesis of 1,1?,2,2?-tetraiodoferrocene is described that uses 1,1?,2,2?-tetrakis(tri-n-butylstannyl)ferrocene as a key intermediate in its synthesis. In an attempt to examine the stepwise mechanism, reaction tetratin-substituted ferrocene with iodine was monitored by 1H NMR and series coexisting compounds such 1,1?-bis(tri-n-butylstannyl)-2,2?-diodoferrocene were observed. The c...

Foreground segmentation plays an important role in high-level vision tasks. Of previously reported research, a large percentage is made up of Markov random field (MRF) based studies [2, 5, 6], in which optimal segmentation maximizes the posteriori probability given observations incorporated with a predefined tri-map. They are current to the state-of-the-art, but under the assumption that a suff...
