In this paper Contourlet based statistical modeling is used for Fabric Defect Detection. The Contourlet transform is a recently proposed two dimensional method used for image analysis. It is very efficient for representing images with fine geometrical structure. In the proposed method for defect detection Contourlet based feature extraction is used. Contourlet Transform is capable of capturing ...

Regular measurement of systemic and post-filter ionized calcium (iCa) concentrations is imperative to correctly handle regional citrate anticoagulation dose during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Keeping post-filter iCa within a tight range guarantees optimal circuit function and enhances filter life span [1, 2], whereas a decrease in plasma iCa, with subsequent elevation of the to...

A brief survey of a paper by Peter Steffen, et al. Introduction G.K. Chesterton, an English author and journalist from the turn of the century, once stated he desired to write a story about a man setting sail from England in search of a new and foreign land. Eventually, when the man reached the island of his destination, he found it to be the most extraordinary and fascinating place. Unbeknowns...

The Fuzzy transform is applied mainly to 1-D signals and 2-D data organized as a regular grid (e.g., images), thus, limiting its potential application arbitrary in terms of dimensionality structure. This article defines analyzes the properties data-driven F-transform, with focus on construction class membership functions, which are multiscale, local, linearly independent, intrinsic, robust disc...

filter is one of the main components of embankment dams. by a simple but effective performance, filter protects the dam against erosion and soil scouring in impervious core caused by leakage (piping) and makes it safe. interaction between filter and erodible base soil is a complex phenomenon which is dependent upon several factors, and has challenged researchers for better understanding the fil...

In this paper we study the nonsubsampled contourlet transform. We address the corresponding filter design problem using the McClellan transformation. We show how zeroes can be imposed in the filters so that the iterated structure produces regular basis functions. The proposed design framework yields filters that can be implemented efficiently through a lifting factorization. We apply the constr...

This paper presents an algebraic approach to construct Mband orthogonal wavelet bases. A system of constraint equations is obtained for M-band orthonormal filters, and then a solution based on SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) is developed to enable us to produce innumerable wavelet bases of given length. Also the property of 2 vanishing moments is integrated into our wavelet construction proc...

Method: 455 cases of congenital hypothyroidism infants were collected from 5 articles were published in 4 china medical journals. Different screening methods were adopted, like enzyme immunoassay assay and filter paper dried blood biotin-avidin enzyme notation to test TSH, FT3、FT. All the collected children treated by oral thyroxin tablets for long period and regular follow-up was done. Clinica...

We propose a set of methods for the estimation of the parameters of time-delay systems with a linear filter and nonlinear delay feedback performing periodic oscillations. The methods are based on an analysis of the system response to regular external perturbations and are valid only for systems whose dynamics can be perturbed. The efficiency of the methods is illustrated using both numerical an...
