Detection faults in seismic data are a crucial step for structural interpretation, reservoir characterization, and well placement. Some recent works regard it as an image segmentation task. The task of requires huge labels, especially 3-D data, which has complex structure lots noise. Therefore, its annotation expert experience workload. In this study, we presented <tex-math not...

The support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most successful learning methods for solving classification problems. Despite its popularity, SVM has a serious drawback, that is sensitivity to outliers in training samples. The penalty on misclassification is defined by a convex loss called the hinge loss, and the unboundedness of the convex loss causes the sensitivity to outliers. To deal with o...

Objective: To develop and evaluate the Mandarin Quick Speech-in-Noise (M-Quick SIN) Test materials in mainland China. Design: Four parts were included in the experiment to (1) develop sentence materials and select equivalent sentences, (2) evaluate the reliability of the lists we grouped afterwards, (3) discuss the formula of SNR loss fitted for M-Quick SIN, and (4) quantify the classification ...

This paper presents the design of a calculable standard dipole antenna with a hybrid balun in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 3 GHz. A new formula of an antenna factor is derived by using the power mismatch-loss concept. The antenna factors derived in this paper are in good agreement with the results calculated from S-parameters. The design results show that the calculable dipole antenna with a...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of commercial weight-loss programs consisting of very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) and low-calorie diets (LCDs) is unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to quantify weight loss and dropout during a commercial weight-loss program in Sweden (Itrim; cost: $1300/€1000; all participants paid their own fee). DESIGN This observational cohort study linked commercial ...
