ing the sharp edges between them [2, 3, 4, 5]. They are appropriate for removing noise before edge detection. However, they are not as useful for filling gaps in surface-like high density regions. We developed a simple filter specifically tailored for this purpose. Briefly, we predicted the surface normal direction, and then used oblate (flattened) ellipsoidal filters, whose short axis were ori...

Abstract Background Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors most commonly metastasize to the liver; however, high normal background 68 Ga-DOTATATE activity and image noise make metastatic lesions difficult detect. The purpose of this study is develop a rapid, automated highly specific method identify PET/CT hepatic using 2D U-Net convolutional neural network. Methods A retrospective patien...

INTRODUCTION Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) for continuous renal replacement therapy is widely used in intensive care units (ICUs). However, concern exists about the safety of citrate in patients with liver failure (LF). The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of RCA in ICU patients with varying degrees of impaired liver function. METHODS In a multicenter, prospectiv...

In this paper, first we study the semi maximal filters in linear $BL$-algebras and we prove that any semi maximal filter is a primary filter. Then, we investigate the radical of semi maximal filters in $BL$-algebras. Moreover, we determine the relationship between this filters and other types of filters in $BL$-algebras and G"{o} del algebra. Specially, we prove that in a G"{o}del algebra, any ...

periodic noises are unwished and spurious signals that create repetitive pattern on images and decreased the visual quality. firstly, this paper investigates various methods for reducing the effects of the periodic noise in digital images. then an adaptive optimum notch filter is proposed. in the proposed method, the regions of noise frequencies are determined by analyzing the spectral of noisy...

This paper presents a computational model to simulate normal and impaired auditory-nerve (AN) fiber responses in cats. The model responses match physiological data over a wider dynamic range than previous auditory models. This is achieved by providing two modes of basilar membrane excitation to the inner hair cell (IHC) rather than one. The two modes are generated by two parallel filters, compo...

In this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. Currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twomechanisms s...

Linux ooers a rich set of traac control functions. This document gives an overview of the design of the respective k ernel code, describes its structure, and illustrates the addition of new elements by describing a new queuing discipline.

Fractional pel motion compensation generally improves coding efficiency due to more precise motion accuracy and low path filtering effect in generating image at fractional pel positions. In H.264, quarter pel motion compensation is applied, where image at half pel position is generated by 6 tap Wiener filter. And the adaptive interpolation filter technique, which adaptively changes filter chara...
