This paper proposes an edge-directed interpolation algorithm for natural images. The basic
idea is to first estimate local covariance coefficients from a low-resolution image and then …

Photoreduction of CO 2 into sustainable and green solar fuels is generally believed to be an
appealing solution to simultaneously overcome both environmental problems and energy …

As one of the most appealing and attractive technologies, heterogeneous photocatalysis
has been utilized to directly harvest, convert and store renewable solar energy for producing …

A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences,
say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new "normalized …

We describe a new method for quantitative imaging of strain and elastic modulus distributions
in soft tissues. The method is based on external tissue compression, with subsequent …

As a green and sustainable technology, semiconductor-based heterogeneous photocatalysis
has received much attention in the last few decades because it has potential to solve both …

… (2010b), as well as eight new candidates of metal-poor stars discovered by Li et al. (2010)
and another eight new candidates discovered in the pipeline for automatic determination of …

Brain registration to a stereotaxic atlas is an effective way to report anatomic locations of
interest and to perform anatomic quantification. However, existing stereotaxic atlases lack …

There is a growing interest in the conversion of water and solar energy into clean and
renewable H2 fuels using earth-abundant materials due to the depletion of fossil fuel and its …

Since discovered in the late 19th century, 1, 2 increasing research interest has focused on
the electrically conductive nature of the aromatic polymer family such as polyaniline (PAN), 3-…
