Objective No-Reference Stereoscopic Image Quality Prediction Based on 2D Image Features and Relative Disparity
(2012-7-19)Stereoscopic images are widely used to enhance the viewing experience of three-dimensional (3D) imaging and communication system. In this paper, we propose an image feature and disparity dependent quality evaluation metric, ... -
Older adults’ and carers’ engagement in democratic governance in the context of system and government transition
(Common Ground Research Networks, 2021-04-29)Advisory committees are some of the most prominent ways older adults and carers are represented in democratic governance in contemporary North America. Yet little is known about how older adults and unpaid carers interpret ... -
Older driver estimates of driving exposure compared to in-vehicle data in the Candrive II study
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-01)OBJECTIVE: Most studies on older adults' driving practices have relied on self-reported information. With technological advances it is now possible to objectively measure the everyday driving of older adults in their own ... -
On Locally Uniformly Differentiable Functions on a Complete Non-Archimedean Ordered Field Extension of the Real Numbers
(2012-4-17)We study the properties of locally uniformly differentiable functions on 𝒩, a non-Archimedean field extension of the real numbers that is real closed and Cauchy complete in the topology induced by the order. In particular, ... -
On series solutions of $y'' - f(x)y=0$ and applications
(2013-03-04)AbstractIn this paper, we develop explicit expressions for the Taylor series coefficients in the formal Taylor series solution of the second-order linear differential equation y ″ − f ( x ) y = 0 for ... -

Operon-based approach for the inference of rRNA and tRNA evolutionary histories in bacteria
(2020-04-16)Abstract Background In bacterial genomes, rRNA and tRNA genes are often organized into operons, i.e. segments of closely located genes that share a single promoter and are transcribed as a single unit. Analyzing how these ... -
Operon-based approach for the inference of rRNA and tRNA evolutionary histories in bacteria
(Springer Nature, 2020)In bacterial genomes, rRNA and tRNA genes are often organized into operons, i.e., segments of closely located genes that share a single promoter and are transcribed as a single unit. Analyzing how these genes and operons ... -
