A content based image retrieval system, called MPEG-7 image retrieval refinement based on
relevance feedback (MIRROR), is developed for evaluating MPEG-7 visual descriptors and …

A new dominant color structure descriptor (DCSD) is proposed in this paper. It is designed to
provide an efficient way to represent both color and spatial structure information with single …

Aims Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a devastating genetic disease caused by insufficient
consolidation of ventricular wall muscle that can result in inadequate cardiac performance…

Search point pattern-based fast block motion estimation algorithms provide significant speedup
for motion estimation but usually suffer from being easily trapped in local minima. This …

Adaptive survival requires the coordination of nutrient availability with expenditure of cellular
resources. For example, in nutrient-limited environments, 50% of all S. cerevisiae genes …

Recently, an enhanced hexagon-based (EHS) search algorithm was proposed to speedup
the original hexagon-based search (HS) using a 6-side-based fast inner search. However, …

Chromatin remodeling complexes are essential for gene expression programs that coordinate
cell function with metabolic status. However, how these remodelers are integrated in …

Purpose. The comorbidity of chronic pain and sleep disturbances has received increasing
research attention in Western clinical pediatric populations; yet, little is known about its …

Center-biased fast motion estimation algorithms, eg, block-based gradient descent search
and diamond search, can perform much better than coarse-to-fine search algorithms, such as …

Carcinogenic insult, such as UV light exposure, creates DNA lesions that evolve into mutations
if left unrepaired. These resulting mutations can contribute to carcinogenesis and drive …
