Several other methods of achieving dynamic range control were also discussed in the previous chapter. These methods are typically unsharp mask filters with large kernel sizes, and multi-scale approaches such as multi scale image contrast amplification (MUSICA) developed by the Agfa-Gevaert company (Vuylsteke & Schoeters, 1999). In achieving their goal of dynamic range control, these methods alt...

The precise probability of a compound event (e.g. e1 _ e2; e1 ^ e2) depends upon the known relationships (e.g. independence, mutual exclusion, ignorance of any relationship, etc.) between the primitive events that constitute the compound event. To date, most research on probabilistic logic programming 20, 19, 22, 23, 24] has assumed that we are ignorant of the relationship between primitive eve...

Brain tumor segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) is an important task to measure tumor responses to treatments. However, automatic segmentation is very challenging. This paper presents an automatic brain tumor segmentation method based on a Normalized Gaussian Bayesian classification and a new 3D Fluid Vector Flow (FVF) algorithm. In our method, a Normalized Gaussian Mixture Model...

personalized medicine is a set of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic approaches in which medical interventions are carried out based on individual patient characteristics. as life expectancy increases in developed and developing countries, the incidence of diseases such as cancer goes up among people in the community. cancer is a disease that the response to treatment varies from one person...

in this work, quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) approaches were used to predict the redox potential of 42 phenolic antioxidants. the structures of all compounds optimized by the am1 semi-empirical method and then a large number of molecular descriptors were calculated for each compound in the data set. subsequently, stepwise multilinear regression was applied to select the mos...

Ginsenoside F1 is a biologically active compound identified potential from Korean Panax ginseng Meyer. In the present study, the potential targets of ginsenoside F1 were investigated by computational target fishing approaches including ADMET prediction, biological activity prediction from chemical structure, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics methods. Results were suggested to express th...
