We present a new algorithm for illumination normalization and uneven background correction in images, utilizing the recently proposed TV+L1 model: minimizing the total variation of the output cartoon while subject to an L1-norm fidelity term. We…

In this study, we compare the efficiencies of harvesting energy from microbial fuel cells (MFC) using two modes of operation: (1) continuous-passing the current through an electrical load-and (2) intermittent-first accumulating the energy in a…

We expect to obtain similar performance in detection of differential changes for most applications on exon arrays using the background probe collection (BGP) as opposed to specific mismatch probes (MM). (For example, the GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST…

A fuzzy system is designed to classify features in the output of a wavelets-based correlation filter used for enhancing clusters of fine, granular microcalcifications-an early sign of cancer-in digitized mammograms. Each local peak in the…

Mixtures of the surfactant classes coconut diethanolamide, cocamido propyl betaine and alkylbenzene sulfonate were separated by capillary electrophoresis in several media containing organic solvents and anionic solvophobic agents. Good resolution…

Based on the regularity of decreasing the blood volumes from the internal edge of the lung to its periphery the authors proposed a method of gradient background correction in inhalation scintigraphy of the lungs with 133Xe. The background is…

After intravenous injection of radioiodinated heptadecanoic acid a high background activity disturbs direct determination of myocardial elimination rates. Several correction procedures for background activity are used. After intracoronary…

In this paper, we study the importance of languages for the specification of algorithms in high performance Grid computing. We present one such language, the Algorithm Definition Language (ADL), designed and implemented for the use in conjunction…

In many microbial bioreactors, high shear rates result in strong attachment of microbes and dense biofilms. In this study, high shear rates were applied to enrich an anodophilic microbial consortium in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Enrichment at a…
