Incoherent dictionary learning and sparse representation for single-image rain removal by Hong-zhong TANG, Xiang WANG, Xiao-gang ZHANG, Xiao LI, Li-zhen MAO

“…The incoherent dictionary learning and sparse representation algorithm was present and it was applied to single-image rain removal.The incoherence of the dictionary was introduced to design a new objective function in the dictionary learning,which addressed the problem of reducing the similarity between rain atoms and non-rain atoms.The divisibility of rain dictionary and non-rain dictionary could be ensured.Furthermore,the learned dictionary had similar properties to the tight frame and approximates the equiangular tight frame.The high frequency in the rain image could be decomposed into a rain component and a non-rain component by performing sparse coding based learned incoherent dictionary,then the non-rain component in the high frequency and the low frequency were fused to remove rain.Experimental results demonstrate that the learned incoherent dictionary has better performance of sparse representation.The recovered rain-free image has less residual rain,and preserves effectively the edges and details.So the visual effect of recovered image is more sharpness and natural.…”

Glaucoma and Arterial Hypertension by Carl Erb

“…On the other hand, it is an independent risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma which must be taken into consideration in the development of the glaucoma treatment strategy. The low influence on the intraocular pressure and the significant perfusion disturbances cause damages to the whole visual system, which in its turn exacerbates the detrimental effects of the intraocular pressure elevation on the glaucomatous optic neuropathy. …”

Thyroid screening of members of the public for iodine isotopes with portable NaI detectors by John Graham Hunt

“…The screening geometry was simulated using the Monte Carlo code Visual Monte Carlo. The results show that for a geometry with the NaI detector near the skin in front of the thyroid, the interference of the gamma radiation coming from other radionuclides released in the accident either deposited in the lung or in the whole body is sufficiently low to allow thyroid screening criteria to be established. …”

Supporting students with disabilities: discrepancies in educational outcomes and the need for comprehensive postsecondary support by Melissa Beck Wells

“…Using recent datasets and a structured literature synthesis, the research illustrates how gaps in institutional practices, faculty preparedness, and interagency coordination affect SWDs’ outcomes. Data visualizations demonstrate that while enrollment has improved modestly, employment and completion rates remain disproportionately low for students with disabilities, particularly those with intersectional identities. …”
