Traditionally, the Structure From Motion (SFM) problem has been solved using feature correspondences. This approach requires reliably detected and tracked features between images taken from widespread locations. In this paper, we present a new paradigm to the SFM problem for planar scenes. The novelty of the paradigm lies in the fact that instead of image feature correspondences, only image der...

Cinnamaldehyde, of the genius Cinnamomum, is a major constituent of the bark of the cinnamon tree and possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In this study, we used best multiple linear regression (BMLR) to develop quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models for cinnamaldehyde derivatives against wood-decaying fungi Trametes versicolor and Gloeophyllun trabeum. Based on ...

In the context of dense stereo matching of pixels, we study the combination of different correlation measures. Considering the previous work about correlation measures, we use some measures that are the most significant in five kinds of measures based on: cross-correlation, classic statistics, image derivatives, nonparametric statistics and robust statistics. More precisely, this study validate...

The electron delocalization of benzene (C6H6) and hexafluorobenzene (C6F6) was analyzed in terms of the induced magnetic field, nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS), and ring current strength (RCS). The computed out-of-plane component of the induced magnetic field at a distance (r) greater than or equal to 1.0 Å above the ring center correlates well (R (2)>0.99) with the RCS value. Accordi...

A novel type of deprotonative functionalization of aromatics was accomplished with a phosphazene base (t-Bu-P4 base). For various nitrogen heteroaromatics and benzene derivatives, deprotonative 1,2-additions proceeded with the t-Bu-P4 base and ZnI(2) as an additive in the presence of carbonyl compounds. The t-Bu-P4 base has both extremely strong Brønsted basicity and less nucleophilicity due to...

The oxidation behavior of twenty organic chemicals from four different classes (sugars, benzene derivatives, alcohols and carboxyl acids) were investigated using the official chemical oxygen demand (COD) methods (i.e., permanganate and dichromate methods) and their oxidation levels compared with the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) values. In addition, the correlation between the official COD a...

A series of benzene derivatives with different substituents adsorbed on graphene was investigated using a density-functional tight-binding method with a dispersion correction. Compared to benzene, the derivative with either an electron-withdrawing or -donating substituent exhibits stronger physisorption. Moreover, the steric size of the substituent is important in determining the adsorption str...

a series of cyclic analogues of bioactive thiosemicarbazide derivatives have been synthesized as potential antimycobacterial agents. the 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione analogues (ia-f) were prepared by heating a mixture of thiocarbohydrzide and appropriate carboxylic acids. reaction of thiocarbohydrazide with γ-ketoesters in the presence of sodium methoxide furnished triazolopyridazine derivat...

Neural networks are computational tools able to apprehend non-linear relationships between different parameters, having the capacity to order a large amount of input data and transform them into a graphical pattern of output data. We have previously reported their use for the quantification of the aromaticity through the Euclidean distance between neurons. In this article, we apply the method t...

A framework for learning parameterized models of optical flow from image sequences is presented. A class of motions is represented by a set of orthogonal basis flow fields that are computed from a training set using principal component analysis. Many complex image motions can be represented by a linear combination of a small number of these basis flows. The learned motionmodels may be used for ...
