Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging method that is used to detect coronary artery diseases. One of the main sources of error in this imaging method is the detection of Compton scattered photons in the photopeak energy window used for data acquisition. This results in the degradation of the image contrast, and therefore decreases the...

We aim to construct higher order tau-leaping methods for numerically simulating stochastic chemical kinetic systems in this paper. By adding a random correction to the primitive tau-leaping scheme in each time step, we greatly improve the accuracy of the tau-leaping approximations. This gain in accuracy actually comes from the reduction in the local truncation error of the scheme in the order o...

This paper discusses the money demand function in China. We use Cointegration technique and Error Correction Model to estimate the long-run and short -run money demand function. We find that M2 aggregate appears to be cointegrated with price level and income. We also specified a satisfying error correction model for M2.

Background: In treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by ICRU in report 24. The experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. Therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...

The dual adaptive importance sampling (DAIS) technique allows for the evaluation of the word and bit error rates of linear block forward error correction codes down to extremely low values. This paper presents results from performance evaluation of certain LDPC codes using the DAIS technique. The standard Monte Carlo simulation results and the union bound are provided, where available, for comp...

This paper describes the salient features of designing a robust forward error correction coding scheme for satellite data communications and considers various such schemes suitable for a short message application.

A′(n,d,e), the smallest ` for which every binary error-correcting code of length n and minimum distance d is decodable with a list of size ` up to radius e, is determined for all d ≥ 2e−3. As a result, A′(n,d,e) is determined for all e≤ 4, except for 42 values of n.

Video coding standards have incorporated various error resilience and error concealment tools, yet data losses during video transmission in mobile systems still pose big challenges. Here an approach for error resilience in the application layer is proposed, employing SEC (second error control) with ECC (error correction coding) and some simulation results are presented.

MOTIVATION Automatic error correction of high-throughput sequencing data can have a dramatic impact on the amount of usable base pairs and their quality. It has been shown that the performance of tasks such as de novo genome assembly and SNP calling can be dramatically improved after read error correction. While a large number of methods specialized for correcting substitution errors as found i...
