Matching between observation and landmarks is achieved using a correlation-based similarity measure.
General Procrustes Analysis GPAa), a procedure that superimposes configurations of landmarks by shifting them to a common position, rotating and scaling them to a standard size until a best fit of corresponding landmarks is achieved, was used to extract shape information (Dryden and Mardia, 1998).
Rotation of the mirrored landmark configuration around the geometric midpoint of the superimposed centroid markers followed until the best fit between all homologous landmarks were achieved by means of the least squared point distance while preserving the shape and size of each configuration [ 16] (Fig. 2).
Interestingly, though, this landmark was achieved with a record that recovers some of the Maccabees' original eccentricities.
But the effect is even more subtle than simply shifting through the gears: the final appearance of the trombone theme, whose three-fold appearances are the symphony's most obvious landmark, is achieved by a musical time-warp.
In the 1970s, a landmark was achieved by ISRO when the locally built Rohini-1 was launched into space, using the SLV rocket.
However, several landmarks have been achieved in the fight against it in Latin America, including a reduction by 72% of the incidence of human infection in children and young adults in the countries of the Southern Cone Initiative, and at least three countries (Uruguay, in 1997, and Chile, in 1999, and Brazil in 2006) have been certified free of vectorial and transfusional transmission.
Preservationists heaved a collective sigh of relief last fall when landmark status was achieved for the area, protecting the remaining meatpackers and smoothing the way for the possible move to the Gansevoort Market of the commercial flower district currently on Seventh Avenue in the West 20's.
With >82,000 samples collected within the GEFOS consortium a landmark publication was achieved with the identification of 56 loci influencing bone mineral density in total explaining ~5%% of genetic variation in BMD, and of which 14 loci also were associated with fracture risk [ 208].
This was a notable landmark that had previously been achieved only by Franz Binder, Josef Bican and his Brazilian compatriot, Arthur Friedenreich.
