microfluidic flow focusing devices have been utilized for droplet generation on account of its superior control over droplet size. droplet based microfluidics addressed many scientific issues by providing a novel technological platform for applications such as biology, pharmaceutical industry, biomedical studies and drug delivery. this study numerically investigated the droplet generation proce...

this paper presents a new procedure for automatic extraction of the blood vessels and optic disk (od) in fundus fluorescein angiogram (ffa). in order to extract blood vessel centerlines, the algorithm of vessel extraction starts with the analysis of directional images resulting from sub‑bands of fast discrete curvelet transform (fdct) in the similar directions and different scales. for this pur...

Clusters are often defined to be the connected components of a density level set. Unfortunately, this definition depends on a level that needs to be user specified by some means. In this paper we present a simple algorithm that is able to asymptotically determine the optimal level, that is, the level at which there is the first split in the cluster tree of the data generating distribution. We f...

The Polyhedral Active Set Algorithm (PASA) is designed to optimize a general nonlinear function over polyhedron. Phase one of the algorithm nonmonotone gradient projection algorithm, while phase two an active set that explores faces constraint A gradient-based implementation presented, where projected version conjugate employed in two. Asymptotically, only performed. Comparisons are given with ...
