PURPOSE To elucidate differences between glioblastoma (GBM) and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) with MR image-based texture features. METHODS This was an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective study. Consecutive, pathologically proven, initially treated 44 patients with GBM and 16 patients with PCNSL were enrolled. We calculated a total of 67 image texture fea...

background and objective: improved and modified automation will require the development of smart process control systems that provide on-line decisions to release patients’ test results based on high analytical quality assurance formula. materials and methods: we collected patients’ test results from 10840 healthy subjects based on 1.96z as truncation limit for 29 common haematochemical analyte...

abstract profile monitoring in statistical quality control has attracted attention of many researchers recently. a profile is a function between response variables and one or more independent variables. there have been only a limited number of researches on monitoring multivariate profiles. indeed, monitoring correlated multivariate profiles is a new subject in the fileld of statistical process...

With the dramatic increase of 3D imaging techniques, there is a great demand for new approaches in texture analysis of volumetric data. In this paper, we present a new approach for volumetric texture analysis using a runlength encoding matrix and its texture descriptors. We experiment with our approach on the volumetric data generated from two normal Computed Tomography (CT) studies of the ches...

in some statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a relationship between a response and one or more independent variables, which is typically referred to a profile. in this paper, polynomial profiles are considered to monitor processes in which there is a first order autoregressive relation between the error terms in each profile. a remedi...

The objective of this study was to develop a new optimal parallel algorithm for matrix multiplication which could run on a Fibonacci Hypercube structure. Most of the popular algorithms for parallel matrix multiplication can not run on Fibonacci Hypercube structure, therefore giving a method that can be run on all structures especially Fibonacci Hypercube structure is necessary for parallel matr...
