OBJECTIVE Although high-speed imaging (HSI) has been identified as a valuable tool in phonatory biomechanics research, to date, there have only been a selected number of reports investigating the clinical utility of HSI. We aim to elucidate the role of HSI in the diagnosis of the dysphonic patient. METHODS The video files from 28 consecutive dysphonic patients with concurrently acquired video...

The purpose of this study was to determine if plasma osmolality alters baroreflex control of sympathetic activity when controlling for a change in intravascular volume; we hypothesized that baroreflex control of sympathetic activity would be greater during a hyperosmotic stimulus compared with an isoosmotic stimulus when intravascular volume expansion was matched. Seven healthy subjects (25 +/-...

We report two cases of status epilepticus who showed crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) with or without pulvinar high signal intensity (HSI) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The first patient had CCD with pulvinar HSI on MRI and periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on electroencephalography. MRI of the second patient revealed CCD without pulvinar HSI. And electroencep...

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral image (HSI) data presents an interesting challenge for automatic target detection algorithms. LWIR HSI data is useful for both day and night operations, but weak signatures like disturbed soil can be problematic for standard matchedfilter techniques (Bowman, et al. 1998). In this paper, we augment the standard matched-filter techniques with physics-based ...

Antennal sensilla were compared in parthenogenetic females and bisexual adults of rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel (coleoptera: curculionidae), using scanning electron micrographs. the antenna of parthenogenetic females and of both sexes of bisexual reproductive weevils consisted of the scape, pedicel, and 6 flagellar segments. females, regardless of mode of reproduction, ha...

Human Systems Integration is a comprehensive management and technical approach for addressing the human element in weapon system development and acquisition. The primary objective of human systems integration is to integrate the human as a critical system element, regardless of whether humans in the system function as individuals, teams, or organizations. This discipline seeks to treat humans a...

With the development of HyperSpectral Imagery (HSI) technology, the spectral resolution of HSI became denser, which resulted in large number of spectral bands, high correlation between neighboring, and high data redundancy. However, the semantic interpretation is a challenging task for HSI analysis due to the high dimensionality and the high correlation of the different spectral bands. In fact,...

Hyperspectral remote sensing has been used in many fields, such as agriculture, military detection and mineral exploration. Hyperspectral image (HSI), despite its high spectral resolution, has lower spatial resolution than panchromatic image (PI). Therefore, it is useful yet still challenging to effectively fuse HSI and PI to obtain images with both high spectral resolution and high spatial res...

Recent research has shown that using spectral–spatial information can considerably improve the performance of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. HSI data is typically presented in the format of 3D cubes. Thus, 3D spatial filtering naturally offers a simple and effective method for simultaneously extracting the spectral–spatial features within such images. In this paper, a 3D convolutiona...
