ADHERENCE TO HEPATITIS B BIRTH DOSE
Viral hepatitis B (HBV) is a silent public health problem. Globally, over two billion are infected with HBV, 360 million chronic carriers with an estimated 800,000 annual death by liver cancer/cirrhosis. 78% of liver cancer and 57% of cirrhosis is attributable to HBV....adrenal
Improvement in imaging technique has resulted in detection o f increased number of adrenal incidentalomas, thus they are being found incidentally in millions o f people w orldw ide2. It is a common problem; up to 7% o f all patients over 60 may harbor a benign growth....Super-resolution for computed tomography based on discrete tomography
Super-resolution for computed tomography based on discrete tomography In X-ray computed tomography, images are typically reconstructed on a voxel grid. Given that each voxel is represented by a constant grey level, it is typically assumed that the material...Discrete Tomography
Discrete Tomography If the amount of available projection data is limited (e.g. with few-view tomography,a limited angular range or data truncation) the reconstruction problem is ill-posed and conventional algebraic reconstruction methods tend to find solutions that...Tomographic Segmentation
Tomographic Segmentation To extract quantitative information from a tomographic reconstruction, it is often segmented first. Segmentation refers to the act of classifying image pixels into a few distinct classes based on a certain characteristic, typically their grey...Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) As a high speed, high resolution cross-sectional imaging modality, OCT has been applied in many different areas and is most successful in ophthalmology. OCT is based on a low coherence interferometry, which provides axial resolution...Confocal microscopy
Confocal microscopy Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that enables 3D imaging of thick tissue. The schematic of a confocal microscope is shown in Figure 1. A point light source is used to illuminate the specimen; signal from the specimen is detected...Accelerated 3D Imaging Using Compressed Sensing
Accelerated 3D Imaging Using Compressed Sensing Three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the upper airway during sustained sound production has recently emerged as a promising tool in speech production research as a means to capture the full geometry of the vocal tract. The...Localized Heating System
Localized Heating System In this post, we talk about Localized Heating System. According to the research of the Advance Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), a significant energy saving is expected by developing Localized Thermal Management System (LTMS) when it...Heat Energy Recycling Technique
Heat Energy Recycling Technique In this post, we talk about Heat Energy Recycling Technique. Technologies using renewable energy are a relatively new concept with a huge potential to increase energy efficiency. In 2014, the statistics released by U.S. Energy...Graph Theory
Graph Theory In this post, we talk about Graph Theory. If the interaction topology of a networked power grid is represented using a directed graph G = (V,E) with the set of nodes V = 1,2, . . . ,n and edges E ∈ V ×V, and the neighbors of an agent i are denoted by Ni =...Human Detection and Target Location Estimation
Human Detection and Target Location Estimation In this post, we talk about Human Detection and Target Location Estimation. The occupancy information is a crucial element in the Smart Localized Heating Control (SLHC) system. Thus, the image’s quality and type are also...State-Based Temperature Control
State-Based Temperature Control In this post, we talk about State-Based Temperature Control. The Smart Localized Heating Control (SLHC) system has the state-based temperature control function. Figure shows the finite state machine (FSM) that is embedded in the Smart...Thermal Sensation Analysis
Thermal Sensation Analysis In this post, we talk about Thermal Sensation Analysis. Thermal sensation is one of the important inputs for regulating the heater’s operation. Inparticular, the temperature measurement is critical factor when the target person enters the...Heater’s Movement Control
Heater’s Movement Control In this post, we talk about Heater’s Movement Control. In the SLHC system, the heater tracks the person’s movement by using servo motors. The servo sub-controller generates the servo control outputs based on the signal from the main and...
