Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Retinal Image Registration Using Mutual InformationPradeepa Palraj, Ila VennilaImage registration has tremendous applications in medical industry both in diagnosis and therapy. But registering the retinal images is very difficult task because of the structural and illumination criteria. Normal registration algorithms are proved to be less effective and more complicated for such applications. This study aims at combining two methods of retinal image registration: Vessel based and non-vessel based … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 18 Sep 2013 · 6,690 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Nonlinear Age- and Stage-Structured Population ModelsArild WikanThe scope of this review article is to present and discuss various aspects of discrete nonlinear age- and stage-structured population models. We show that such models cover species which exhibit a wide range of different life histories and that one may use them in order to deduce fairly general ecological principles with respect to stability and dynamical outcomes. From a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2012 · 7,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLearning Dynamics in the Cobweb Model with Heterogeneous ProducersCarl Chiarella, Xue-Zhong HeIn this study we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of the traditional cobweb model with two types of heterogeneous producers who are risk averse and seek to learn the distribution of asset prices, in terms of the sample mean and variance of historical prices, using the Arithmetic Learning Processes (ALP) over different window lengths. We show that heterogeneity has a double … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 15 Dec 2005 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
