We consider a stochastic transportation problem between two prescribed probability distributions (a source and target) over processes with general drift dependence free end times. First, in order to establish dual principle, we associate equivalent formulations of the primal guarantee its convexity lower semi-continuity respect target distributions. exhibit an Eulerian formulation, whose variat...

Purpose Performing a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) prostate biopsy is at the heart of current cancer detection procedure. With today's two-dimensional (2D) live (US) imaging equipment, this task remains complex due to poor visibility cancerous tissue on TRUS images and limited anatomical context available in 2D plane. This paper presents rigid 2D/3DUS registration method for navigated biopsy. a...

The design of a hospital, including how the beds are spaced and where clinical areas and supplies are located, affects the amount of time staff spend walking around wards instead of spending time with patients providing direct clinical care. A number of technological solutions are emerging that have the potential to reduce unnecessary walking and give nurses more time to spend with patients. On...
