Lung nodule classification is one of the main topics on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for detecting nodules. Although convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been demonstrated to perform well on many tasks, there are few explorations of their use for classifying lung nodules. In this work, we present a method for classifying lung nodules based on CNNs. Training is performed by balanci...

Computers are a pervasive part of society, even more so on college campuses. Among other skills, it is important that students have a base of understanding related to computer networking and security in order to protect themselves from online threats. Students who study for and pass tests that show their understanding of these topics appear to have a lower rate of computer security related issu...

I bone densitometry sources find extensive application in the diagnosis of osteoporosis by using single photon absorption (SPA) technique. Silver pellets of size ~ 2.5 mm (f) x 0.6 mm (l) were developed as base matrix for adsorption of I. Determination of specific surface area and pore size analysis of plain silver and palladium coated silver pellets was carried out. Experimental conditions for...
