We performed MRI on 16 patients who had had reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with a mid-third bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft. Our aim was to assess the tendon and the site of its insertion at an average of seven years after the original operation. In four of these patients biopsies were taken from the donor site when they had revision of their original operation. MRI ...

In contemporary Minimalism agreement is the result of a syntactic operation. contrast to Merge, Agree does not build structure, its role being transmit morphological features from one head another. We provide an alternative perspective on in Minimalist idiom, that cuts ontological pie different way. Syntax has as only operation and agreement, now divorced syntax, transfers purely information al...

This paper introduces the segmentation of Neisseria bacterial meningitis images. Images is an operation identifying homogeneous location in a digital image. The basic idea behind called thresholding, which be classified as single thresholding and multiple thresholding. To perform images segmentation, transformations morphological operations processes are used to segment images, well image trans...

Morphological filters are useful tools as they are commonly employed in surface metrology and dimensional metrology, serving for surface texture analysis and data smoothing respectively. Compared to the mean-line filtering techniques, such as the Gaussian filter, morphological filters have the merits of compact support, no need to remove form, and being relevant to geometrical properties of sur...

This paper is devoted to a segmentation method using advanced morphological filtering by reconstruction followed by clustering by k-means algorithm. Advanced morphological filtering bases on morphological reconstruction and two filters are applied: opening by reconstruction and closing by reconstruction. This kind of operation has very important advantage from the point of view of segmentation ...

AIMS Absent left atrium (LA) mechanical contraction may occur following the modified Cox-maze operation, and was found to impose a potential risk for the occurrence of thrombo-embolic stroke. It is unknown whether certain morphological P-wave characteristics can surrogate absent LA mechanical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphological features of the P-waves on the surfac...

In this paper, duality is discussed in soft open as well as soft close in multi scale environment. Soft erosion and soft dilation will exist for various thresholds. So soft open and soft close also exist for various thresholds. If definition for soft erosion and soft dilation are studied (5), then some type of equalities are viewed among soft morphological operations. So equality may be establi...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of morphological operations in central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) on various sizes of image and structuring element. The languages selected for algorithm implementation are C++, Matlab for CPU and CUDA for GPU. The parallel programming approach using threads for image analysis is done on basic entities of images. The morph...
