Clinical Endocrinology, 2002 Leptin is a 167 amino acid hormonal protein product of the obesity gene that has been widely studied since its discovery by Zang et al . (1994). Initially described as being involved with satiety and energy balance, leptin was proposed to be the anti-obesity factor involved in a feedback loop from the adipocyte to the hypothalamus (Zang et al ., 1994).

Four Severity Levels for Grading the Tortuosity of a Retinal Fundus Image
Journal of Imaging, 2022 Hypertensive retinopathy severity classification is proportionally related to tortuosity severity grading. No tortuosity severity scale enables a computer-aided system to classify the tortuosity severity of a retinal image. This work aimed to introduce a

A modified K3M thinning algorithm
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2016 The K3M thinning algorithm is a general method for image data reduction by skeletonization. It had proved its feasibility in most cases as a reliable and robust solution in typical applications of thinning, particularly in preprocessing for optical ...

General Vectorization of Line Objects in Drawn Maps
Communications, 2009 Drawn maps consist of multiple object types. The most important are line objects which represent infrastructure. Attributes of these objects are essential for many tasks but in raster format they provide only low level information.
