By means of the delta operator, a new type of CNN, the (δ,c)-CNN, is introduced. It is a superclass of continuoustime (CT) and discrete-time (DT) CNNs with any saturation-, high-gain-, or hardlimiting sign-nonlinearity. It is shown that the (δ,c)-CNN allows continuous transition between different types of nonlinearities and between CTand DT-CNNs, providing a unifying framework for CNN theory. I...

Abstract Background This study was performed with the intention of comparing clinical, laboratory, and chest computed tomography (CT) findings between severe non-severe patients as well different age groups composed pediatric confirmed COVID-19. Method carried out on a total 53 COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Namazi Ali Asghar Hospitals, Shiraz, Iran. The divided into two ( n = 27) 28) other ...

A 6-day-old female baby delivered by Caeserean section was admitted for respiratory distress. On admission, the baby was tachypnoeic, respiratory rate more than 60/ min with cyanosis requiring oxygen of 8 l/min to maintain satisfactory O2 saturation. An X-ray chest and abdomen taken, was suggestive of bilateral eventration of diaphragm (Fig. 1). An USG and CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. The E...

the quality of the river water is assessed in different months in different stations to evaluate the change in the quality in re1ation with the various point sources along the river. thirteen parameters were measured in the samples manually taken from three meters off shore in 20 cm. depth in four points representing the quality in four reaches under consideration. the results revealed that nat...

introduction: mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. a variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. however, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, corona...

PURPOSE To determine the feasibility of registration of MRI and CT datasets post permanent prostate implant by the use of mutual information. METHODS AND MATERIALS Five patients who underwent permanent (125)I implant for prostate carcinoma were studied. Two weeks postimplant an axial CT, T2-weighted-axial, sagittal and coronal MRI, and T1-fat-saturation MRI scans were obtained. Registrations ...

BACKGROUND We compared PET/MRI with PET/CT in terms of lesion detection and quantitative measurement to verify the feasibility of the novel integrated imaging modality for oncological applications. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In total, 285 patients referred to our PET/CT center for oncological indications voluntarily participated in this same-day PET/CT and PET/MRI comparative study. PET/C...

Magnetizing inrush currents are known as the most critical potential threat in maloperation of transformer differential protection. Therefore, there is a need to detect current from internal fault avoid protection maloperation. Due possibility (CT) saturation at high level and current, discrimination algorithm should function appropriately CT conditions. Here, method developed based on rate pha...
