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.

A new approach for segmenting different anatomical regions in dental Computed Tomography (CT) studies is presented in this paper. It is expected that the proposed approach will help automate different tissues regions by providing initial boundary points for deformable models or seed points for split and merge segmentation algorithms. Preliminary results obtained for dental CT studies of dentate and edentulous human-mandible are presented with finite element models divided by tetrahedral elements, which built based on actual CT data combined with triangulation equations. Identification of different anatomical regions set for mandible cortical and cancellous bones by generated 3D models by marching cubes technique.

Boolean Differential Calculus (BDC) extends Boolean *** Boolean algebra is focused on values of logic functions,BDC allows the evaluation of changes of the function values. Such changes can be investigated between certain pairs of function values as well as regarding whole subspaces. Due to the same basic data structures, BDC can be applied to any task described by logic functions and equations together with the Boolean *** used is BDC in analysis, synthesis, and testing of digital circuits. In this chapter, we introduce basic definitions of BDC together with some typical applications.

All freshman engineering students at York College participate in a spring semester design challenge as part of a year-long, two-course introduction to engineering. This paper describes the course organization, the project goals, and project itself and how it supports the broader engineering curriculum goals of engaging freshman engineering students in a design project, exposing them in an interesting way to the breath of engineering, and motivating them in their engineering studies. The students work in small teams and have roughly 12 weeks to design an automated electromechanical system that first transports three empty Snapple bottles, three tennis balls, and 36 oz. of water to a 2/x3/ operational zone. The machine must fill each bottle with 12 oz. of water, cap each bottle by covering the top with a tennis ball, and then deliver the capped and filled bottles to an area outside of the operational zone. The bottle-filling project serves as the second of two interdisciplinary engineering design experiences during the freshman year. It introduces aspects of computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, including the following five primary knowledge areas: (i) machining and fabrication;(ii) electronic circuit prototyping and programming;(iii) sensor and actuator applications;(iv) mechanical design;(v) project planning;and (vi) presentation skills. A project demonstration at the end of the semester determines the relative effectiveness of each machine based upon a number of quantitative factors, including the total time required to complete the overall process, the volume of water in each bottle, the number of bottles successfully capped, the amount of water spilled, and approximate manufacturing cost. Some qualitative factors considered are simplicity, creativity, and aesthetics. Student interest in this substantial hands-on experience, as measured by surveys and exhibited by attendance, enthusiasm, productivity, and success, appears to be high through the three y

It my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to FoSER 2010: The FSE/SDP Workshop on the Future of Software engineering Research. This workshop was organized in collaboration with and made possible by generous support from the Software Design and Productivity Coordinating Group (SDP) of the U.S. National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). This one-time, international working conference has brought together top academic and industrial researchers and government research funding agency personnel from around the world to engage in an extended discussion of consequential new ideas about the future of our field. The ideas produced by this workshop will be disseminated in two forms. First, the position papers accepted by the program committee will be published in a companion to the Proceedings of FSE-18. Second, the workshop findings will be published subsequently in a special report by NITRD/SDP. The call for papers for FoSER 2010 solicited 4-page position papers with new ideas about the future of software and software-reliant systems, and the research that will be needed to meet future needs. Papers were expected to be creative and thought-provoking, and to articulate compelling new perspectives, positions, problem formulations, assumptions and approaches. The workshop did not seek, and did not accept, technical research papers or abstracts. The workshop received a total of 139 position papers. Of these, 90 papers (65%) were accepted. Each paper was reviewed by at least two members of the workshop program committee. The committee was asked to accept all papers presenting significant new ideas about how our field should move forward. Copyright 2010 ACM.

This paper presents a novel method on coloring the grayscale images. For this purpose, a combination of artificial neural networks and some image processing algorithms was developed to transfer colors from a user-selected source image to a target grayscale image. According to the results of this combining method, a survey where volunteers were asked to rate the plausibility of the colorings generated automatically was performed for individual images. In most cases automatically-colored images were rated either as totally or mostly acceptable.
