ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Reducing Bitrate and Increasing the Quality of Inter Frame by Avoiding Quantization Errors in Stationary Blocks [PDF]
In image compression and video coding, quantization error helps to reduce the amount of information ofthe high frequency components. However, in temporal prediction the quantization error contributes its valueas noise in the total residual information ...

Deficit of temporal dynamics of detection of a moving object during egomotion in a stroke patient: a psychophysical and MEG study [PDF]
To investigate the temporal dynamics underlying object motion detection during egomotion, we used psychophysics and MEG with a motion discrimination task.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Detecting Moving Vehicles from Satellite-Based Videos by Tracklet Feature Classification
Satellite-based video enables potential vehicle monitoring and tracking for urban traffic management. However, due to the tiny size of moving vehicles and cluttered background, it is difficult to distinguish actual targets from random noise and pseudo ...

Mapless Online Detection of Dynamic Objects in 3D Lidar
This paper presents a model-free, setting-independent method for online detection of dynamic objects in 3D lidar data. We explicitly compensate for the moving-while-scanning operation (motion distortion) of present-day 3D spinning lidar sensors.

The effect of experience and of dots\u2019 density and duration on the detection of coherent motion in dogs [PDF]
Knowledge about the mechanisms underlying canine vision is far from being exhaustive, especially that concerning post- retinal elaboration. One aspect that has received little attention is motion perception, and in spite of the common belief that dogs ...

Nonlinear Motion Detection [PDF]
This work presents new ideas in multidimensional signal theory: an isotropic quadrature filter approach for extracting local features of arbitrary curved signals without the use of any steering techniques. We unify scale space, local amplitude, orientation, phase and curvature in one framework. The main idea is to lift up signals by a conformal mapping

Detecting Motion through Dynamic Refraction [PDF]
Refraction causes random dynamic distortions in atmospheric turbulence and in views across a water interface. The latter scenario is experienced by submerged animals seeking to detect prey or avoid predators, which may be airborne or on land. Man encounters this when surveying a scene by a submarine or divers while wishing to avoid the use of an ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
