Semantic and topological classification of images in magnetically guided capsule endoscopy
2012
International audience; Magnetically-guided capsule endoscopy (MGCE) is a nascent technology with the goal to allow the steering of a capsule endoscope inside a water filled stomach through an external magnetic field. We developed a classification cascade for MGCE images with groups images in semantic and topological categories. Results can be used in a post-procedure review or as a starting point for algorithms classifying pathologies. The first semantic classification step discards over-/under-exposed images as well as images with a large amount of debris. The second topological classification step groups images with respect to their position in the upper gastrointestinal tract (mouth, es…
Assessing Prognosis Following Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Therapeutic Hypothermia
2013
SUMMARY Background: The prognosis of patients who are comatose after cardiopulmo nary resuscitation (CPR) is poor but can be improved by mild therapeutic hypothermia. We studied the question whether the known, reliable indicators of a poor prognosis after CPR are also valid for patients treated with CPR and hypothermia. Methods: This review is based on a selective search of the PubMed database for recent articles on the assessment of prognosis in persons who are comatose after CPR and therapeutic hypothermia. Results: On the basis of 21 clinical trials, 4 of which yielded level I evidence, 9 level II evidence, and 8 level III evidence, the following were identified as reliable indicators of…
Character restrictions and multiplicities in symmetric groups
2017
Abstract We give natural correspondences of odd-degree characters of the symmetric groups and some of their subgroups, which can be described easily by restriction of characters, degrees and multiplicities.
Deuring’s mass formula of a Mumford family
2015
We study the Newton polygon jumping locus of a Mumford family in char p p . Our main result says that, under a mild assumption on p p , the jumping locus consists of only supersingular points and its cardinality is equal to ( p r − 1 ) ( g − 1 ) (p^r-1)(g-1) , where r r is the degree of the defining field of the base curve of a Mumford family in char p p and g g is the genus of the curve. The underlying technique is the p p -adic Hodge theory.
LR(k) Parsing
1990
In this chapter we shall generalize the notion of strong LL(k) parsing presented in Chapter 5 and consider a method for deterministic left parsing that applies to a slightly wider class of context-free grammars than does the strong LL(k) parsing method. This method will be called “canonical LL(k) parsing”. As in strong LL(k) parsing, the acronym “LL(k)” means that the input string is parsed (1) in a single Left-to-right scan, (2) producing a Left parse, and (3) using lookahead of length k.
Bounded Bi-ideals and Linear Recurrence
2013
Bounded bi-ideals are a subclass of uniformly recurrent words. We introduce the notion of completely bounded bi-ideals by imposing a restriction on their generating base sequences. We prove that a bounded bi-ideal is linearly recurrent if and only if it is completely bounded.
Quantum Queries on Permutations with a Promise
2009
This paper studies quantum query complexities for deciding (exactly or with probability 1.0) the parity of permutations of n numbers, 0 through n *** 1. Our results show quantum mechanism is quite strong for this non-Boolean problem as it is for several Boolean problems: (i) For n = 3, we need a single query in the quantum case whereas we obviously need two queries deterministically. (ii) For even n , n /2 quantum queries are sufficient whereas we need n *** 1 queries deterministically. (iii) Our third result is for the problem deciding whether the given permutation is the identical one. For this problem, we show that there is a nontrivial promise such that if we impose that promise to the …
Quantum Queries on Permutations
2015
K. Iwama and R. Freivalds considered query algorithms where the black box contains a permutation. Since then several authors have compared quantum and deterministic query algorithms for permutations. It turns out that the case of \(n\)-permutations where \(n\) is an odd number is difficult. There was no example of a permutation problem where quantization can save half of the queries for \((2m+1)\)-permutations if \(m\ge 2\). Even for \((2m)\)-permutations with \(m\ge 2\), the best proved advantage of quantum query algorithms is the result by Iwama/Freivalds where the quantum query complexity is \(m\) but the deterministic query complexity is \((2m-1)\). We present a group of \(5\)-permutati…
A Criterion for Attaining the Welch Bounds with Applications for Mutually Unbiased Bases
2008
The paper gives a short introduction to mutually unbiased bases and the Welch bounds and demonstrates that the latter is a good technical tool to explore the former. In particular, a criterion for a system of vectors to satisfy the Welch bounds with equality is given and applied for the case of MUBs. This yields a necessary and sufficient condition on a set of orthonormal bases to form a complete system of MUBs. This condition takes an especially elegant form in the case of homogeneous systems of MUBs. We express some known constructions of MUBs in this form. Also it is shown how recently obtained results binding MUBs and some combinatorial structures (such as perfect nonlinear functions an…
Some Quantitative Aspects of Stability Management Strategy in a Bank
2012
Abstract The stability of commercial bank system is the result of balanced development, which can be characterised by equilibrium and security over a longer period of time. The history of commercial bank system development indicates that reaching and sustaining this qualitative and quantitative state requires regulations and management. One of the most important parts of commercial bank management system is correctly chosen strategy in the circumstances of a changing environment. Strategy gives a possibility to look into the future of the commercial bank, forecast its goals, areas, scale and potential operational results in relation to resource sources and expenses. Nowadays a commercial ba…
