Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractXPS Studies of the SiO2 Substrates and Thermoelectric Thin Films of Sn/Sn+SnO2 under the Effects of the Different Thermal TreatmentsRichard Lagle, Stephen Egarievwe, Satilmis Budak, Mebougna DraboMultilayered thermoelectric Sn/Sn+SnO2 thin films were prepared using KJL DC/RF magnetron sputtering system under Ar gas plasma on the SiO2 substrates. The thicknesses of the fabricated thin films were found using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The fabricated thin films were annealed at different temperatures for one hour to tailor the thermoelectric properties. In this study, unannealed, annealed at 150 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 8,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGadolinium at Low Concentration Suppresses both Osteoclastic and Osteoblastic Activities in the Scales of GoldfishNobuo Suzuki, Kazuki Watanabe, Aika Sekimoto et al.For determining the effect of environmental pollutants on fish bone metabolism, we have developed an in vitro bioassay system using teleost scales that has osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix as markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) for osteoclasts. Using this bioassay, the influence of gadolinium (Gd) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts of goldfish scales was examined … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel SIFT-SVM Approach for Prostate Cancer DetectionSwetha Parvatha Reddy Chandrasekhara, Mohan Govindsa Kabadi, SrivinayProstate cancer is a major cause of concern in male population as it is said to affect 1 in every 7 men in their lifetime. The number of cases being registered for prostate cancer and its mortality rates are increasing yearly at an alarming rate. Due to the high resolution and multi-dimensionality of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, proper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2020 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quantum Mechanical Study of Structural and Electronic Dilution Effects in Paramagnetic Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer AgentsWhelton A. Miller III, Preston B. MooreWe present a computational study of the effect of chemical modifications of the meta and para substituents in the coordinating pendant arm of a modified 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N, N’, N’’, N’’’-tetraamide (DOTAM) ligand on the Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) signal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is currently one of the most widely used techniques available. MRI has led to a new class … …Journal of Organic and Biomolecular Simulations, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2013 · 28,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Localization from Magnetic Resonance Images SequenceAhmed Farag, Mahmoud FakhreldinProblem statement: Heart localization is an important step in cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) analysis. This study aims to locate the moving heart region from MRI sequence of images. Approach: The idea is to use the motion detection techniques to isolate the heart region from the background image and then apply morphological operations to construct a moving heart region mask. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2012 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Implementation of Brain Tumor Detection Using Segmentation Based on Neuro Fuzzy TechniqueS. Murugavalli, V. RajamaniImplementation of a neuro-fuzzy segmentation process of the MRI data is presented in this study to detect various tissues like white matter, gray matter, csf and tumor. The advantage of hierarchical self organizing map and fuzzy c means algorithms are used to classify the image layer by layer. The lowest level weight vector is achieved by the abstraction level. We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HIGH B1 FIELD HOMOGENEITY GENERATION USING FREE ELEMENT ELLIPTICAL FOUR-COIL SYSTEMSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Sulaiman S. Al-SowayanDesign and testing of a prototype probe with high B1 magnetic field homogeneity that can be used for MRI is presented. It consists of four coaxial separately tuned rings of wire in a symmetric arrangement on an ellipsoidal surface. Compared to Helmholtz pair, which presents 2nd-order homogeneity, an improvement in field homogeneity is achieved, while preserving the simplicity of implementation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2014 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Reconstruction of Human Heart Surface from Single Image-View Under Different Illumination ConditionsAqeel Al-Surmi, Rahmita Wirza, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.The 3D reconstruction from a single-view image is a longstanding issue in computer vision literature, especially in the medical field. Traditional medical imaging techniques that provide information about the heart and which are used to reconstruct the heart model, include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. However, in some cases, they are not available and the applications … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContent Based Medical Image Retrieval using Binary Association RulesAkila, Uma MaheswariIn this study, we propose a content-based medical image retrieval framework based on binary association rules to augment the results of medical image diagnosis, for supporting clinical decision making. Specifically, this work is employed on scanned Magnetic Resonance brain Images (MRI) and the proposed Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) process is for enhancing relevancy rate of retrieved images. The pertinent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 30 May 2013 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
