Registration of mammograms is an essential step to increase the effectiveness of all screening programs planned to early detect breast cancer in asymptomatic women. New techniques based on data fusion of different spatial ...

In this paper we propose a new contour descriptor for reconstructing fish otolith contours that uses half the number of coefficients needed by the classical elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFDs) for the same accuracy. The ...

A Bayesian framework is proposed for analysing regression models in which one of the covariates is interval-censored. Such a situation was encountered in an AIDS clinical trial in which the goal was to examine the ...

Meeting the demand for food, energy, and water as world population increases is a major goal for the food systems of the future These future challenges, which are complex, multiscalar, and cross-sectoral in nature, require ...

Under the framework of the DAISIE consortium, whose main mission is to make an inventory of the alien invasive species of Europe and its islands, we review the current state of knowledge and provide an up-to-date catalogue ...

Lustre is a product of skilled artisans and its production was spread to different regions by the migration of artisans. Each lustre production has its own peculiarities not only in the composition and microstructure of ...

In this paper we propose the inversion of nonlinear distortions in order to improve the recognition rates of a speaker recognizer system. We study the effect of saturations on the test signals, trying to take into account ...

Data from sensory shelf-life studies can be analyzed using survival statistical methods. The objective of this research was to introduce Bayesian methodology to sensory shelf-life studies and discuss its advantages in ...

Background: oscillatory activity, which can be separated in background and oscillatory burst pattern activities, is supposed to be representative of local synchronies of neural assemblies. Oscillatory burst events should ...
