Background and Purpose: Nowadays, breast cancer is reported as one of the most common cancers amongst women. Early detection of the cancer type is essential to aid in informing subsequent treatments. The newest proposed breast cancer detectors are based on deep learning. Most of these works focus on large-datasets and are not developed for small datasets. Although the large datasets might lead ...

STUDY DESIGN Systematic literature review. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of deep friction massage (DFM) in the treatment of tendinopathy. CONTEXT Anecdotal evidence supports the efficacy of DFM for the treatment of tendinopathy. An advanced understanding of the etiopathogenesis of tendinopathy and the resultant paradigm shift away from an active inflammatory model has taken place since t...

In this paper, the experiences of incorporating parametric modeling methodologies in a computer aided design course are introduced. This course aims at sophomore and junior mechanical engineering students. Students are expected to understand the fundamentals of solid modeling, incorporate design intents in modeling processes effectively, and master basic skills of using commercial software for ...

Effective design of GUI interfaces is aided through the development and use of guidelines. Similarly, the effectiveness of 3D information visualizations will be aided through the development, testing and application of guidelines. The guidelines presented here are the direct result of the expert knowledge accumulated over the development of 50+ information visualizations since 1993. Various tec...

The recognition of painted strokes is an important step in analyzing painted works of art like paintings, drawings and underdrawings. But even for art experts, it is difficult to recognize all drawing tools and materials used for the creation of the strokes. Thus the use of computer aided imaging technologies brings a new and objective analysis and assists the art expert in analyzing painted wo...

In this paper to predict the critical conditions for onset of elastic-plastic wrinkling of flange of a two-layered circular blank during the deep-drawing process a closed-form semi-analytical elastic-plastic solution using Tresca yield criterion alongwith deformation theory in plasticity with considernig the perfectly plastic behaviour of materials is presented. Simplifying the presented soluti...

The patient describes an injury to the thumb, usually overstretching. Discomfort and pain are experienced over the thenar area and the radial side of the wrist. The backward movement during extension elicits pain and is limited. The radiograph is negative. Spontaneous recovery may take many months. The condition can be treated either by intra-articular triamcinolone or by 2 weeks’ treatment wit...

In this paper, we propose an original three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided approach for surveying and mapping caves to get line drawings. By introducing 3D digital technologies into the line drawing, our approach has advantages in improving the drawing accuracy while cutting a lot of time costs. The 3D digital technologies are used to reconstruct accurate 3D models of real scenes. Then, the li...
