patients and methods sixty children aged between 2 and 12 years, and scheduled for on-pump surgery due to a congenital heart disease were randomly assigned into two groups. oral midazolam (0.5 mg/kg up to 15 mg per patient) and dexmedetomidine (2 µg/kg) were administered 45 minutes pre-anesthesia. children’s anxiety, mask acceptance behavior, hemodynamic measures, and cardiopulmonary outcomes w...

Modulation type is one of the most important characteristics used in signal recognition. An algorithm to realize signal modulation identification is proposed in this paper. We applied wavelet transformation and STFT to the signal, and then used manifold learning method to reduce the high dimension and extracted the recognition feature. The proper threshold value was set as the classifier to ach...

In HCI (Human-Computer Interaction), the camera is often with wide angle lens and the captured image is usually distorted. The infrared image is more blurred than general image, so the contrast and the brightness is lower. In this paper, a cross shape mask is used to get the preliminary chessboard internal corners. And the adaptive threshold is put forward to remove outliers and align the corne...

H Visual imagery is the invention or recreation of a perceptual experience in the absence of retinal input.The degree to which the same neural representations are involved in both visual imagery and visual perception is unclear. Previous studies have shown that visual imagery interferes with perception (Perky effect). We report here psychophysical data showing a direct facilitatory effect of vi...

Prediction of visible differences involves modeling of the human visual response to distortions in the image data. Following the approach of Daly [1], this paper introduces several algorithm improvements allowing for more accurate calculation of threshold elevation and modeling of the facilitation effect during phase-coherent masking. This is achieved by introducing a complex-valued cortex tran...

In this paper, a comparison between three different filters in the 3D scanning processes by Fourier Transform two-dimensional. The implementation and comparison about the filter by threshold, morphological filtering like rectangle and elliptic, the representation about the filters are in a binary mask and it is multiplied by the spectrum of Fourier Transform two-dimensional, with this process t...

This paper describes a novel filtering method (FIMER) to extract three critical yield loss components: gross yield loss from parametric problems or from clustering of defects, repeated yield loss from mask defects or from lithography margin, and random yield loss mainly from particles. It is shown by simulation that FIMER is not only superior to the conventional windowing method in extracting r...

This paper introduces an SPA power attack on the 8-bit implementation of the Twofish block cipher. The attack is able to unequivocally recover the secret key even under substantial amounts of error. An initial algorithm is described using exhaustive search on error free data. An error resistant algorithm is later described. It employs several threshold preprocessing stages followed by a combine...

Vertically aligned conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) nanorods are fabricated using the reactive ion etching method incorporated with nanodiamond particles as mask. High electrical conductivity of 275 Ω·cm-1 is obtained for UNCD nanorods. The microplasma cavities using UNCD nanorods as cathode show enhanced plasma illumination characteristics of low threshold field of 0.21 V/μm with...
