In this paper, a new approach for computing different anatomical regions in dental Computed Tomography (CT) is presented. The approach consists of two steps. First, a HU threshold window sets to separate between different regions upon their gray-level values; second, a set of objects are generated and texture descriptors are calculated for selected windows from the image data sample. Finally, identification of different anatomical regions set for mandible bones to determine the cystic lesion volume based on numerical methods. Preliminary results obtained for dental CT of female patient aged 14 years old complaining of bilateral swelling in her mandible are presented.

Multithreaded Object-Oriented programming in concurrency environment using object-oriented technology is a complex activity. Programmers need to be aware of issues unrelated to their domain of problem, and are often unprepared for the challenges of the concurrent object-oriented programming brings. The interaction of their components becomes more complex, and makes it difficult to validate the design and correctness of the implemented program. Supporting separation of concerns in the design and implementation of the multithreaded object-oriented programming can provide a number of benefits such as comprehension, reusability, extensibility and adaptability in both design and implementation. We have tackled this problem by adopting the technique of separation of concerns in multithreaded object-oriented programming. In this paper we demonstrate an Aspect-Oriented approach that can be used for multithreaded object-oriented programming. We also show how better the separation of concerns in components. Readers/Writers problem is demonstrated using an aspect-oriented approach. Our methodology, which is based on aspect-oriented techniques as well as language and architecture independence, is an aspect-oriented framework.

Several standards and guidelines give advice on the development of qualitative and quantitative criteria to evaluate safety related systems, in order to apply these in safety critical applications. These standards don't take into account the possibility of an external attack on the safety related system. In this paper, we will describe the current situation and explore methods and models for security and safety related systems with the help of Markov-models.

This paper presents a new tuning method based on model parameters identified in closed-loop. For classical controllers such as PI(D) controllers a large number of simple tuning methods for various application areas exist. However, when it comes to designing a generalised predictive controller (GPC) four parameters have to be specified. To choose those parameters is not a trivial task since they are not directly related to control or regulation performance. The presented tuning method exploits model-parameters to select suitable controller parameters. Additionally, a Rhinehart filter is incorporated in the design to decrease the impact of noise, therefore, a fifth parameter has to be optimised. The proposed method has been tested in simulation and on a real system.

Mathematical models, derived for example from discretisation of partial differential equations, often contain operations over large arrays. In this work we investigate the possibility of compiling array operations from models in the equation-based language Modelica into Single Assignment C (SAC). The SAC2C SAC compiler can generate highly efficient code that, for instance, can be executed on CUDAenabled GPUs. We plan to enhance the open-source Modelica compiler OpenModelica, with capabilities to detect and compile data parallel Modelica for-equations/arrayequations into SAC WITH-loops. As a first step we demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by manually inserting calls to SAC array operations in the code generated from OpenModelica and show how capabilities and runtimes can be extended. As a second step we demostrate the feasibility of rewriting parts of the OpenModelica simulation runtime system in SAC. Finally, we discuss SAC2C's switchable target architectures and demonstrate one by harnessing a CUDA-enabled GPU to improve runtimes. To the best of our knowledge, compilation of Modelica array operations for execution on CUDA-enabled GPUs is a new research area.
