Eq.\ref{Bi} is a projection of the attribute vector $I_i$ in the eigenspace spanned by the first $k_c$ eigenbackgrounds, being $\textbf{b}$ the coefficient vector of the combination. In the standard EIG method the number of eigenbackgrounds retained $k_c$ is chosen by fixing a threshold for the last eigenvalue $\lambda_{k_c}$ retained. The background obtained $B_i$ are then subtracted to the original image and a moving object is identified as the regions of the images in which $I_i-B_i$ is…
This allowed retailers the opportunity to properly analyse any possible implications of consumer tactics due to the steady, predictable pace of trend cycles (ref). Informed decisions could be made with minimal cost to both the company and its workers. However, the advent of mass television broadcasting and online communities has significantly impacted the nature of consumer resistance to traditional retailers…

than that school, if we only had not gotten our best players fouled out because the refs made stupid calls, we would have won.” I gazed out the window bitterly and angrily. _____________________ After a restless night, I dragged my feet to my first class. My friends were already there waiting for me. I reached up…
discovery of important risk factors associated with various diseases and public health issues in the last few decades (refs). Long term follow up of these cohorts will continue to provide valuable data that will lead to the discovery of novel risk factors associated with disease. One of the most important issue with longitudinal studies is the missing data at each follow up time (refs). This may occur in several forms such as, death of the patient, participants recruited at the start of the…
Figure 11: MRI-LINAC at Sunnybrook Canada (Ref 12) Photo of the project during setup and installation (Ref 15) First patient (Utrecht): The first clinical application was very simple case which is the palliative treatment of spinal bone metastases. This allowed to test the geometrical accuracy of the system on real patients. The vertebra is easily visualized on the integrated megavoltage imaging system and allows for accurate comparison of field co-ordinates with MRI co-ordinates.…
on the ground, and I was just waiting for the game to start. It was Tuesday afternoon and Chavez was scheduled to be one of our refs for soccer. Yes, it had to be Chavez. After his five minute stretching session, he stood up and started doing jumping jacks. All those stretches just to run around a field carrying a whistle and a flag. The good thing was that our main ref for the game was Mr. Navarro. After five minutes of stretching, Mr. Navarro asked Chavez if he was ready for the game to start…
