Various dimensions of the human vestibular aqueduct were evaluated in two groups, patient and control, and these measurements were compared. Both groups were examined clinically, followed by audiometric evaluation and temporal bone high resolution CT scan. It was found that in approximately one third of the patient group (with idiopathic SNHL), the vestibular aqueduct was 1.5 mm or larger. ...

In this paper, an image resolution enhancing technique is described. It is based on extracting 1-dimensional characteristic curves from subsequent frames and sub-pixel displacement values. Through sub-pixel mapping and adaptive interpolation, high-resolution image can be obtained from several lowresolution image frames. This 1-dimensional algorithm is simple and cost-effective, and can be easil...

Recently, random access protocols have acquired a new wave of interest, not only from the satellite communication community, but also from researchers active in fields like Internet of Things and machine-to-machine. Asynchronous (slotand frame-wise) ALOHA-like random access protocols, are very attractive for such applications, enabling low complexity transmitters and avoiding time synchronizati...

Qualitative probabilistic networks have been introduced as qualitative abstractions of Bayesian belief networks. One of the major drawbacks of these qualitative networks is their coarse level of detail, which may lead to unresolved trade-offs during inference. We present an enhanced formalism for qualitative networks with a finer level of detail. An enhanced qualitative probabilistic network di...

This paper presents an edge-enhancing super-resolution algorithm using anisotropic diffusion technique. Because we solve the super-resolution problem by incorporating anisotropic diffusion, our technique does more than merely reconstruct a high-resolution image from several overlapping noisy lowresolution images and preserve them. In addition to reducing image noise during the restoration proce...

anxiety and depression are very common in population and occur in a wide range of clinical states and is very common in epileptic patients. many recent epidemiological studies have found a high prevalence of depression and anxiety in epileptic patients. these studies found that epileptic patients suffered from depression and anxiety than those without epilepsy. the prevalence of depression or a...

Background Cochlear implantation is an approved treatment which can be used to treat severe to profound hearing loss. Imaging before cochlear implant surgery is very important in decision making and assessing the temporal bone anatomy for surgery. We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of high resolution CT scan (HRCT), and MRI of temporal bone in candidate pati...

We propose a method for making temporal super-resolution video from a single video by exploiting the self-similarity that exists in the spatio-temporal domain of videos. Temporal super-resolution is inherently ill-posed problem because there are an infinite number of high temporal resolution frames that can produce the same low temporal resolution frame. The key idea in this work to solve this ...
