In medical application the multimodal image fusion is an important tool. It has developed with the advent of various imaging modalities in medical imaging. It is mostly used for the medical diagnosis. In this proposal a novel fusion technique is proposed for the multi modal medical image based on the NSCT (non-sub sampled Contourlet transform). In this algorithm high frequency and low frequency...

The novel high performance adaptive fidelity algorithms for automated multi-modality images’ feature detection, registration, and fusion is presented. The new fusion method, which consists of the Adaptive Fidelity Exploratory Algorithm (AFEA) and the Heuristic Optimization Algorithm (HOA), implements automatic adaptation from frame to frame with a few tunable thresholds. The new algorithms have...

BACKGROUND Although its FDA-approved applications are limited, the pro-osteogenic benefits of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) administration have been shown in off-label surgical applications. However, the effects of rhBMP-2 on ankle fusions are insufficiently addressed in the literature, which fails to include a case-control study of adequate sample size to evaluate the efficacy of rhBMP-2 t...

Aiming at the problems of occlusion, drift, and background change in target tracking, a learning correlation filtering algorithm based on multi-feature fusion is proposed. In framework filtering, fusion, multi-template update, regularization are used to improve performance filter problem template contamination object occlusion. The fast directional gradient histogram (FHOG), color feature (CN),...

Novel technological advances significantly increased the demand to model applications requiring distributed processing. Frames are however too restrictive for such applications, wherefore it was necessary to go beyond classical frame theory. Fusion frames, which can be regarded as frames of subspaces, do satisfy exactly those needs. They analyze signals by projecting them onto multidimensional ...

Recent advances in RNA-sequencing technology have enabled the discovery of gene fusion transcripts in the transcriptome of cancer cells. However, it remains difficult to differentiate the therapeutically targetable fusions from passenger events. We have analyzed RNA-sequencing data and DNA copy number data from 25 endometrial cancer cell lines to identify potential therapeutically targetable fu...

A tight wavelet frame is a natural generation of an orthonormal wavelet if redundancy is introduced into the wavelet system. By allowing redundancy, we gain the necessary flexibility to achieve such properties as symmetry and, more importantly, the short support and high vanishing moments of compactly supported wavelets. In addition, redundancy allows for the approximate shift invariance behavi...

the present study was aimed to construct a fusion plasmid harboring the extracellular domain of the influenza a m2-protein (m2e), which was fused to the n-terminus of the truncated hsp70 (hsp70359–610) molecule as a new approach for future vaccine research against influenza a. the amplified fragments, m2e and hsp70359-610 genes, were gel-purified. the products were then single digested with bam...

We have developed and evaluated a new optical motion capture approach that is suitable for a wide range of studies in neuroethology and motor control. Based on the stochastic search algorithm of Simulated Annealing (SA), it utilizes a kinematic body model that includes joint angle constraints to reconstruct posture from an arbitrary number of views. Rather than tracking marker trajectories in t...

Expression of a 130 kDa protein from open reading frame 1 of the integrated form of the R2 mitochondrial plasmid in normal mitochondria of B37 and other inbred lines is described. The protein appears identical to that synthesized by the closely related S2 episome found in cytoplasmic male sterile maize of the S type. Protein was detected using antisera raised against a beta-galactosidase:ORF1 f...
