EBTM: An Enumeration-Based Thresholding Method for Degraded Circular Dot Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Circular dots are widely used in various measurement applications due to their inherent symmetry, ease of detection, and scalability. However, when degraded by factors such as specular highlights, low contrast, strong noise, or friction damage ...

Enumerating Finitary Processes. [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy (Basel)
We show how to efficiently enumerate a class of finite-memory stochastic processes using the causal representation of ϵ-machines. We characterize ϵ-machines in the language of automata theory and adapt a recent algorithm for generating accessible deterministic finite automata, pruning this over-large class down to that of ϵ-machines. As an application,

A generalization of the quadrangulation relation to constellations and hypermaps [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
Constellations and hypermaps generalize combinatorial maps, $\textit{i.e.}$ embedding of graphs in a surface, in terms of factorization of permutations.

A bijection between planar constellations and some colored Lagrangian trees [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2003
Constellations are colored planar maps that generalize different families of maps (planar maps, bipartite planar maps, bi-Eulerian planar maps, planar cacti, ...) and are strongly related to factorizations of permutations.

Implication and comparative study of Chinese and foreign examination method standards on mold and yeast enumeration in food

open access: yesZhongguo shipin weisheng zazhi, 2023
Molds and yeasts are common fungi that cause food contamination, and are also used as indicators to evaluate the quality of food hygiene. China has been conducting contamination surveillance of molds and yeasts in food since 1984, and has greatly ...

Bacteriophage Enumeration and Detection Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Application of phages as alternative antimicrobials to combat pathogenic bacteria and their association to a healthy gut microbiome has prompted a need for precise methods for detection and enumeration of phage particles.

Viability droplet digital polymerase chain reaction accurately enumerates probiotics and provides insight into damage experienced during storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Probiotics are typically enumerated by agar plate counting (PC) techniques. PC has several limitations including poor specificity, high variability, inability to enumerate dead cells, viable but non-culturable cells and cells in complex matrices ...

Counting the Undercounted: Enumerating Rural Homelessness in Canada

open access: yesInternational Journal on Homelessness, 2022
Until recently, homelessness in Canada was largely considered to be an urban phenomenon. This assumption has been reinforced by homelessness interventions that primarily focus on urban areas.
