In this paper, Radial Basis Function Neural Network is used to create, model, and assess a suggested approach for segmenting the brain. The suggested system is examined by segmenting the three brain tissues using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The proposed method in this research can more precisely segment the cerebrospinal fluid, white matter, and grey matter of the brain when compared to other previous works. The margins of the brain are well maintained, and the visual scans show that the tissues are well segmented. Additionally, the misclassification percentage for white matter, grey matter, and CSF has been drastically decreased by 41%, 6%, and 41%, respectively, when compared to K-means and fuzzy logic. With fewer misclassified pixels, it is evident from this metric that the suggested strategy significantly improves the segmentation of MRI brain tissue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CubeSats, nanosatellites, including microsatellites with a moisture content of up to 60 kg have all contributed to the fast expansion of the Earth Observation sector. This development has also been aided by the reduction in cost associated with reaching space. Image data that has been acquired serves as a vital source of information in a variety of fields. As more remote sensing data is collected, the available bandwidth capabilities for the data transfer, known as the downlink, will eventually be used up. Under this article, we explain six different methodologies, including Pruning, Quantization, Information Distillation, Present Sample, Tensor Decomposing, and Sub-quadratic Converter based approaches, for compaction of such modeling techniques to enable their implementations in real industry NLP projects. These methods include information extraction, present sample, tensor decomposition, and parametric sharing. We believe that this survey organises the vast amount of work that has been done in the field of "deep learning for natural language processing" over the past couple of years and introduces it as a coherent story. This is especially important in light of the important need to build implementations with effectual and small designs, as well as the huge portion of newly published work in this area. Examples are shown using three-channel remote sensing and pictures obtained using RS that are included in multispectral data. It has been proved that the quality of pictures compressed using Discrete Atomic Transform may be adjusted and controlled by adjusting the greatest absolute deviation. This parameter also has a direct and tight relationship with more conventional metrics such as root mean square error (RMSE) and peak transmission ratio (PSNR), all of which are within the control of the user. Nevertheless, the majority of attention is being paid to several antenna applications, including millimetre wave, body-centric, radiofrequency, satellite, unmanned aircraft systems, gps devices, and textiles. The objective of this study is to investigate the recent trends in research within this sphere. We look at a variety of optimization strategies that are presently used to cram resource-constrained embedded and mobile systems with computation- and memory-intensive algorithms and examine how these strategies may be improved.

Code parity-check matrix dimensions and a maximum distance restriction are generated by the Eigen structure of the Fourier number theoretic transform. Such codes may be deciphered using a given method. Error-correcting code Fourier codes are introduced. Shortened syndrome look-up tables are efficiently used in a manner that provides an improvement over conventional decoding methods for syndromes. One way to think about it is that it's an intriguing twist on the permutation decoding method that allows for permutations without maintaining the code. The functioning of non- binary LDPC codes is examined for various Galois Field orders and PCM topologies. Several potential code constructions aimed at the small block regime are discussed in this paper, alongside traditional error-correction coding systems and length performance limitations. Using an additive white Gaussian noise channel, this study investigates the application of binary and high-order modulation techniques over the noise. We will demonstrate how to use different performance vs. decoding complexity trade-offs to reach theoretical limits. Despite its decreased complexity, our revised decoder has a word error rate that is superior to current decoders. As the last step, we integrate our improved decoder with the traditional belief propagation method. Fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), regarded as the building blocks of all signal processing systems, may be accomplished utilizing the algorithm-based fault tolerance approach. In the best-case scenario, the suggested technique can detect numerous faults and correct multiple problems at the same time. The code may be used to encode two-dimensional data for usage in bar codes and data storage. The performance of non-binary LDPC codes is examined for various Galois Field orders and PCM topologies. The LDPC codes' robustness is defined by their parity check matrix (PCM). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Several works of literature have been published in recent years that describe ways for automatically segmenting multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. Brain lesions that may be seen on MRI scans (magnetic resonance images), which are the primary diagnostic tool for this condition, are one of the defining characteristics of this illness. We demonstrate, via the employment of Integrated Gradients attributions, that the utilisation of brain tissue probability maps as deep network input, rather than raw MR images. When there is a conformational change in the myelin sheath, multiple sclerosis may develop. In many cases, multiple sclerosis may be diagnosed with the use of magnetic resonance imaging. The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the applications of deep learning in molecular imaging, specifically with regard to the segmentation of tumour lesions, the categorization of tumours, and the prediction of patient survival.

Since many decades ago, there has been a large increase in the use of neonatal hip ultrasound imaging, making it simpler to identify hip developmental anomalies (DDH). In this paper, a novel strategy for data enhancement is proposed. It entails the use of an improved Bayesian non-local median filtering to reduce speckle noise (OBNLM). After already being supplemented with information from the OBNLM, the intended CNN system's accuracy is improved from 92.29 percent to 97.70 percent. This novel method for automatically classifying DDH detects dysplastic newborn hips with a high accuracy rate, which may assist evaluators boost the success rate of their assessments. For a fully automated evaluation of the scan effectiveness of three-dimensional ultrasound volumes, we provide a deep learning approach. We trained a Convolutional Neural Network to determine whether or not 3D Ultrasound (3DUS) hip pictures are diagnostically adequate (CNN). 2187 3DUS images were included in Dataset 1 (DS1), and the quality of the scan was evaluated by a single reader using a scale from 1 (the lowest standard) to 5 (the highest quality) (optimal quality). Dataset 2 consists of 107 3DUS photos that were evaluated semi-quantitatively by four users using a 10-point scale (DS2). It was determined whether or not these datasets were suitable for testing the efficacy of this AI method. The majority of the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cohen's kappa coefficient showed that the AI method agreed well with expert readings, and the AI method's extremely accurate estimates on both datasets as a binary classifier (adequate/inadequate) (DS1 accuracy = 96% and DS2 accuracy = 91%) were consistent with those obtained by the experts (K). Our AI-powered technology can be used as a screening tool during ultrasound imaging or post-processing to ensure a higher quality scan and a more precise assessment of the baby's hip. Additionally, the characteristics that the convolutional layers gain show that FNet can concentrate on crucial characteristics, which is useful for accurately reconstructing the femoral head anatomy. In conclusion, the recommended approach is effective in appropriately segmenting the femoral head and providing recommendations for assessing hip development abnormalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new method of decoding binary linear block codes using soft decision decoding is presented. The primary concept behind this strategy is to gradually improve error performance over time. When near-optimal error performance or a desirable level of error performance has been attained for each decoding step, the decoding process ends. It's possible to choose between performance and decoding difficulty with greater freedom now. In order to decode the signals, it is recommended that they be reordered depending on the dependability level of each individual symbol. We examine the statistics of ordered noise in this work. The reprocessing technique is based on two monotonic features obtained from these statistics. Reprocessing the hard-decision-decoded codeword in consecutive stages until the required performance is obtained is the second step in decoding each codeword. Using a cost function, reprocessing is predicated on the ordering's monotonic features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Convolutional neural networks are proposed as an automated method for segmenting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from dual-sequence magnetic resonance images (MRI). Each of the 44 NPC patients had an MRI scan done using the T1-weighting (T1W) and T2-weighting (T2W) techniques. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, or NPC, is a disease that is quite common in several places, including South China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The most successful kind of treatment for this malignant tumour has been radiation therapy. Using an updated network based on 3D Unet (AUnet), organ size is integrated as prior information into the convolutional kernel size design, and end-to-end training is employed to increase modelling efficacy. This enhances the performance of the model by allowing the network to adaptively harvest traits from organs of various sizes. To increase modelling efficacy, end-to-end training and a better network based on 3D Unet (AUnet) are used. To gauge the effectiveness of the AUnet network, the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) coefficients and Hausdorff Distance (HD) distances of both automatic and manual segmentation are examined. Based on its characteristics, a tumour may be identified, separated from the liver, and finally assessed to identify the cancer's stage. As a result, the process can be divided into three separate phases: Segmentation by region, segmentation by liver tumour, and stage detection of cancer are the first three. In order to analyse a liver tumour and detect it at an early stage, this research article offers the findings of an examination into the various methods for segmenting the liver area and tumour on an abdominal CT scan. In this review, each of these facets is broken down and studied, and a comparison of the different techniques is carried out. The authors of this research came to the conclusion that despite the hopeful outcomes that automated systems have produced, their performance is still a long way off from the results that may be achieved by manually delineating tumours.

Kidney is a vital part of the body's metabolic process and a key toxic waste removal mechanism. The blood filtering procedure known as hemodialysis is performed in individuals with severe renal failure. By pushing a patient's blood against a fluid combination called dialysate, a dialysis machine performs hemodialysis. This study seeks to build a prototype design of a Hemodialysis Dialysate Temperature Control System to lessen the risk of patients experiencing temperature shock during hemodialysis treatment since the dialysis machine has problems maintaining the proper temperature of dialysate. To achieve a body temperature of (36⁰C) for patients, two different temperatures of the dialysate were combined with various flow rates. One temperature of the dialysate was maintained below body temperature (35⁰C), and the other was kept above human body temperature (37⁰C). The results show the desired output temperature of 36⁰C is achievable by using fuzzy logic-based controller. The system will give an approximate constant output of desired temperature with a time taken of 670 seconds where the output volume for each circulation is 50 ml/s. The hemodialysis dialysate temperature control system prototype with the implement of fuzzy logic shows that the system consumes time for heating but is able to give a close by to constant desired output temperature.

Effective ventilation is vital for indoor air quality and occupant comfort. However, room layout and furniture placement can influence ventilation distribution, leading to inconsistent airflow. This study investigates the relationship between ventilator placement and ventilation profiles in a room. Experimental simulations were performed using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with varying placements of ventilator fans were conducted. The 8 different placements were made at high and medium height configurations across the walls either opposite or perpendicular to the inlet section in the enclosed space which in this case, is a room. The boundary conditions set at ambient atmospheric pressure of 101325 Pascals and the ambient temperature is set at a room temperature of 293.2 K. The results show that ventilator placement significantly affects ventilation distribution, with some areas experiencing inadequate or inconsistent airflow and ventilation coverage. The results obtained had determined that the higher placement of ventilator and located strategically at the opposite of the inlet section would be the most optimized configuration where the air flow will have a more complete distribution and coverage of the space in the enclosed space. These findings would promote better room designs to optimize ventilation and enhance occupant comfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of Malaysia, a country with promising solar energy prospects, the effectiveness of the proposed models is assessed using statistical measures like Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Findings demonstrate the capability of these models to accurately forecast Daily Global Solar Radiation (DGSR), with optimization algorithms notably enhancing the accuracy of the BPNN model. Among these models, BPNN-DE emerges as the most successful, achieving the lowest MSE (0.000003), RMSE (0.0017), MAE (0.0012), and MAPE (0.0879) values. This research underscores the viability of employing artificial intelligence methodologies for DGSR prediction in solar energy initiatives within Malaysia, as well as potentially in regions with similar climate conditions. Future investigations may delve into ensemble algorithms and methodologies to further advance this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
