A flaccid tetraparesis in Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is presumed to be a sign of overlapping Guillain-Barr$\acute{e}$ syndrome (GBS). In addition, BBE and Fisher syndrome, which are clinically similar and are both associated with the presence of the immunoglobulin G anti-GQ1b antibody, represent a specific autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of symptoms that include ophthalmoplegia and ataxia. A 2-year-old boy presented with rapidly progressive ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, hyporeflexia, weakness of the lower extremities, and, subsequently, disturbance of consciousness. He experienced bronchitis with watery diarrhea and had laboratory evidence of recent infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). He was diagnosed as having overlapping GBS and BBE associated with EBV and received treatment with a combination of immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone, as well as acyclovir, and had recovered completely after 3 months. In addition, he has not experienced any relapse over the past year. We suggest that combinations of symptoms and signs of central lesions (disturbance of consciousness) and peripheral lesions (ophthalmoplegia, facial weakness, limb weakness, and areflexia) are supportive of a diagnosis of overlapping GBS and BBE and can be helpful in achieving an early diagnosis, as well as for the administration of appropriate treatments.

An automated cell tracking system is automatically to analyze and track changes of cell behaviors in time-lapse cell images acquired from microscope in the cell culture. In this paper, we proposed and developed an ellipse fitting based algorithm for separating very small size overlapping cells in a cell image consisted of thousands or ten thousands cells. We were extracted contours of clusters and divided them into line segments and then produced their fitted ellipses for each line segment. By experimentations, our algorithm was separated clusters with average 91% precision for two overlapping cells and average 84% precision for three overlapping cells respectively.

This study examined the overlapping resonances in the systems involving 1 open and 2 closed channels using the phase-shifted version of multichannel quantum-defect theory (MQDT). The results showed that 21 patterns for the q reversals in the autoionization spectra are possible depending on the relative arrangements of the two simple poles and roots of the quadratic equations. Complete cases could be generated easily using the q zero planes determined using only 3 asymmetric spectral line profile indices. The transition of the spectra of the coarse interloper Rydberg series from the lines into a structured continuum by being dispersed onto the entire Rydberg series was found. The overall behavior of the time delays was found to be governed by the dense Rydberg series, which is quite different from the one of the autoionization cross sections that is governed by an interloper, indicating that different dynamics prevail for them. This is in contrast to the two channel system where both quantities behave similarly. The dynamics obtained in the presence of overlapping resonances is as follows. The absorption process is instant and dominated by a transition to the interloper line. This process is followed by rapid leakage into the dense Rydberg series, which has a longer residence time before ionization than that of the interloper state. This is because the orbiting period is proportional to $\upsilon^3$ so that an excited electron has a shorter lifetime in the interloper state belonging to a lower member of the Rydberg series.

An experiment was carried out on the structure of twin spray from pressurize-swirl nozzles, in order to investigate the effect of different size of spray nozzles on the characteristics of the overlap of two single sprays, for example, mean diameter, number density, and spatial distribution of flow rate. Using image processing method, the distributions of size and velocity of droplets of a single spray and twin spray were measured and compared to investigate the overlapping effect of two identical sprays. Comparing experimental results from a twin-spray with those from two-single sprays shows that the flow rate distribution of the twin-spray was concentrated around the midst of the overlapping region of two sprays. In this region, Sauter mean diameter (SMD) did not change much in the twin spray from 6032 nozzles, but it was smaller by 10 micrometers in the twin-spray than two-single sprays from 60063 nozzles. In spite of large difference in Weber numbers of the colliding sprays between the 60063 and 6032 nozzles, the phenomena did not have a big change in the overlapping region of twin spray. This shows that in the collision between droplets from two single spray in the overlapping region to cause the disruption of droplets, the size distribution of spray droplets was also important as well as Weber number.

In this paper, we propose a new accurate and robust image mosaic technique of the mural underdrawing taken from the infra-red camera, which is based on multiple image registration and adaptive blending technique. The image mosaicing methods which have been developed so far have the following deficits. It is hard to generate a high resolution image when there are regions that do not have features or intensity gradients, and there is a trade-off in overlapping region site in view of registration and blending. We consider these issues as follows. First, in order to mosaic Images with neither noticeable features nor intensity gradients, we use a Projected supplementary pattern and pseudo color image for features in the image Pieces which are registered. Second, we search the overlapping region size with minimum blending error between two adjacent images and then apply blending technique to minimum error overlapping region. Finally, we could find our proposed method is more effective and efficient for image mosaicing than conventional mosaic techniques and also is more adequate for the application of infra-red mural underdrawing mosaicing. Experimental results show the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm.

Laser direct patterning of indium tin oxide(ITO) is one of new methods of direct etching process to replace the conventional photolithography. A diode pumped Q-switched Nd:$YVO_4$ (${\lambda}$= 1,064 nm) laser was used to produce ITO electrode on various transparent oxide semiconductor films such as zinc oxide(ZnO). The laser direct etched ITO patterns on ZnO were compared with those on glass substrate and were considered in terms of the overlapping rate of laser beam. In case of the laser etching on double-layer, it was possible to obtain the higher overlapping rate of laser beam.

Background and Objectives : Boundary detection and drawing are essential in 3D reconstruction of neck mass. Manual tracing methods are popular for drawing head and neck tumor. To improve manual tracing, circular boundaries overlapping was tried. Materials and Methods : Twenty patients with neck tumors were recruited for study. Representative frames were examined for shapes of outline. They were all single closed curves. Circular boundaries were added to fill the outlines of the tumors. Inserted circles were merged to form single closed curves(Circular boundary overlapping, CBO). After surface rendering, 3 dimensional images with volumes and area data were made. Same procedures were performed with manual tracing from same cases. 3D images were compared with surgical photographs of tumors for shape similarity by 2 doctors. All data were evaluated with Mann-Whitney test(p<0.05). Results : Shapes of boundaries from CBO were similar with boundaries from manual tracing. Tumor outlines could be filled with multiple circular boundaries., While both boundary tracing gave same results in small tumors, the bigger tumors showed different data. Two raters gave the similar high scores for both manual and CBO methods. Conclusion : Circular boundary overlapping is time saver in 3 dimensional reconstruction of CT images.

Given a network with k specified vertices bi called centers, a cardinality constrained cover is a family {Bi} of k subsets covering the vertex set of a network, such that each subset Bi corresponds to and contains center bi, and satisfies a given cardinality constraint. A set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories is a cardinality constrained cover such that the total sum of T(B$_{i}$) for all subsets is minimum among all cardinality constrained covers, where T(B$_{i}$) is the summation of the shortest path lengths from center bi to every vertex in B$_{I}$. This paper considers a problem of finding a set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories. and proposes an algorithm for the Problem which has the time and space complexities are O(k$^{3}$$\mid$V$\mid$$^{2}$) and O(k$\mid$V$\mid$+$\mid$E$\mid$), respectively, where V and E are the sets of vertices and edges of a given network, respectively. The concept of overlapping territories has a possibility to be applied to a job assignment problem.oblem.

This study attempted to figure out the usage of the modular system in other fields through literature review and empirical study, analyze its structural method in fashion. After analyzing architecture & product-related books, the Internet data and previous studies, the modular system's five structural methods were obtained. Then, 991 photos of women's clothes from 2003 to 2014 were collected through the fashion websites in Korea and abroad. The results can be summarized as follows: First, the following five structures were derived: assembling structure, overlapping structure, arrangement structure, inserting structure and folding structure. Second, according to analysis on the structural method of the modular system in modern fashion, overlapping structure (34%) was the most common. Third, in fashion, the use of fastener for installation and removal is important for assembling structure. In terms of overlapping structure, 3D volume by vertical accumulation was commonly observed. Arrangement structure revealed a horizontal and flat shape through simple arrangement. In inserting structure, on the contrary, non-standardized modules were used as a part of clothes or decorative elements. In folding structure, origami technique for reduction and expansion was used.

Performance of spectrum-overlapped BPSK DS/SFH-SSMA communication system is considered in MAI and MTI channel. SSMA system is studied that the frequency spectrums of DS spread signals are overlapped. The increase of overlapping makes ACI and processing gain larger simultaneously. Therefore, BER performance can be optimized by controlling the amount of overlapping. BER equation are derived far the overlapping BPSK DS/SFH-SSMA communication system in multitone interference channel. From the numerical analyses and the simulation results, it can be concluded that the BER performance is considerably improved in optimized overlapping system.
