Multi-threshold algorithm about image segmentation based on polynomial uniform approximation by Yan-jun WEI, Bo-qin FENG, Wei-guo WU

“…Aiming at those shortcomings of previous multi-threshold image segmentation algorithm such as large complexity and instability caused by the image histogram glitch interference,a new multi-threshold image segmentation algorithm was proposed using Bernstein polynomial to uniformly approximate histogram curve.First,according to the approximation theory of Weierstrass to construct Bernstein polynomial for the histogram curve,then more difficult peak value calculating of the histogram was reduced to the Bernstein polynomial extremal generating,that was exported easily by the first and second derivative of Bernstein polynomial function,and finally obtain the actual peak value of the image histogram by picking up these extremes and polar values and filtering through classification algorithm,and finish multi-threshold image segmentation.Experimental results show that the algorithm is insensitive for histogram glitch interference,the overall is stable,the redundant computation and time complexity are smaller,with less time and high efficiency,the approximate performance and segmentation effect are better.…”

Schrödinger Potentials with Polynomial Solutions of Heun-Type Equations by Géza Lévai, Tibor Soltész

“…The present review discusses the solution of the Heun, confluent, biconfluent, double confluent, and triconfluent equations in terms of polynomial expansions, and applies the results to generate exactly solvable Schrödinger potentials. Although there are more general approaches to solve these differential equations in terms of the expansions of certain special functions, the importance of polynomial solutions is unquestionable, as most of the known potentials are solvable in terms of the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions; i.e., Natanzon-class potentials possess bound-state solutions in terms of classical orthogonal polynomials, to which the (confluent) hypergeometric functions can be reduced. …”

SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in children exhibit higher FcR engagement and avidity than in adults by Carolyn A. Cohen, Ludivine Grzelak, Susan S.

“…Adults’ SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses could be derived from high avidity pre-existing cross-reactive common cold coronavirus B cell responses, whilst children appear to generate a de novo SARS-CoV-2- specific Spike and Nucleocapsid IgG with robust Fc receptor (FcR) binding ability and high avidity at a higher proportion than adults, thus their responses are more targeted and functional for SARS-CoV-2.…”
