Current recommended reference ranges for echocardiographic measurements may not be relevant to the diverse world population they are applied to. A new study, the echocardiographic normal reference ranges of the left heart (EchoNoRMAL) study, is an individual person data meta-analysis of standard echocardiographic measurements which aims to re-define normal reference ranges of left heart dimensi...

Person recognition aims at recognizing the same identity across time and space with complicated scenes and similar appearance. In this paper, we propose a novel method to address this task by training a network to obtain robust and representative features. A key observation is that traditional cross entropy loss only enforces the inter-class variation among samples and ignores to narrow down th...

In this paper, existence and solution of the feedforward plus feedback control law for model reference control of a class of second-order dynamic systems are investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the controllers is established. Based on a result of parametric eigenstructure assignment in second-order dynamic systems, general complete parametric expressions for ...
