In this paper we present a fully automated morphology-based technique for segmentation of nuclei in cancer tissue images and we compare it with a common technique for biomedical image processing, namely active contours. We discuss the limitations of active contours in the processing of immunohistochemical images characterized by heterogeneously stained nuclear region and noise caused by the presence of multiple tissue layers in the sample. We describe the integration of the proposed approach in a fully automated protein activity quantification tool. Finally, we demonstrate and motivate through extensive experiments that our fully automated morphology-based approach provides better accuracy compared to various active contours implementations.

In this paper we present a fully-automated method for the detection of tumor areas in immunohistochemical confocal images. The image segmentation provided by the proposed technique allows quantitative protein activity evaluation on the target tumoral tissue disregarding tissue areas that are not affected by the pathology, such as connective tissue. The automated method, that is based on an innovative unsupervised clustering approach, enables more accurate tissue segmentation compared to traditional supervised methods that can be found in literature, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results conducted on a large set of heterogeneous immunohistochemical lung cancer tissue images demonstrate that the proposed approach overcomes the performance of SVM by 8%, achieving on average an accuracy of 90%.

This paper describes the motivation and learning subsystems of Arisco which is a mechatronic head with interactive capacity which includes high expressivity through gesturing, voice recognition, text to speech generation, visual tracking, and internet information retrieval. The general architecture is first described in the paper. Then, the learning capacity of Arisen is addressed. It learns and performs associations between different stimulus responses through several dynamic neural networks, guided by motivational drives. A number of experiments are discussed, covering stimulus competition, habituation, classical and operant conditioning.
We show that the propagated beams in the Silicon nano fiber with a Silver clad are localized at two metal-dielectric interfaces with a sub-wavelength diameter. We promise this nano fiber acts as an optical sensor. ...

As nodes in wireless sensor networks are usually supplied by a simple non rechargeable battery, the energy available in these nodes is very limited. Moreover, this limited energy is mostly consumed in transmission and reception of data. As transmission and reception is highly affected by routing algorithms, designing a proper routing algorithm will prolong the network lifetime. In this paper we proposed a novel routing algorithm, called locality-aware diffusion (LAD) that leverages spatial locality of sensed data in sensor networks to reduce energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime. The proposed algorithm is an extension to shortest path tree which is a common approach in routing algorithms. Simulation results show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Biophotonic imaging can be used to characterize tumor growth in animal models. Estimation of the numbers and location of target cells is dep.ndent on accurate segmentation of a target region from the background luminescence of the animal body. Existing software systems extract general regions of interest in complex images but can fail to detect details or faint regions of interest in the presence of higher luminescent activity. Limited work has been published in the analysis of these images. We explore the use of popular medical image segmentation techniques in segmentation of bioluminescence images. The ability of each algorithm in detecting regions of interest is tested using established performance measures. Based on the characteristics of bioluminescence images of animal tumor models, and the performance of the algorithms, we formulate a framework for segmentation techniques best suited for this application.

In acoustic contrast control [J.‐W. Choi and Y.‐H. Kim, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 111. 1695 (2002)], spatially averaged acoustic potential energy is used as a representative spatial parameter because acoustic contrast control aims to maximize spatially averaged acoustic potential energy ratio between acoustically bright and dark zone. Therefore, spatial averaging process should be concerned carefully because control performance is sensitive to how to determine bright and dark zone. We have already got successful result in feasibility study for personal audio system with over 20dB difference between bright (frontal) and dark (side) zone [C.‐H. Lee et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 111, 3053 (2007)], without any spatial weighting in spatial averaging of acoustic potential energy. Recently, we're trying to improve the control performance by giving spatial weighting in spatial averaging process because how to give spatial weighting has to do with the improvement of control performance to satisfy the original purpose of personal audio system more closely. In this paper, it will be covered the investigation for how to give spatial weighting in averaging process and shown experimental evaluations for a sound focused personal audio system.

It is often required to have several listening zones, which allows us to have different sounds that we select. For example, in a room, someone wants to listen sound from TV set, and other wants to listen music. In a car, a driver might wants to hear the information coming from his/her navigator system, and the passenger at the back side wants have a quiet zone so that he/she can sleep. To accomplish this kind of acoustic zones, we need to generate multiple sound zones by using multiple speakers. The performance has to be evaluated in accordance with how well one can listen the sound that is expected to have. We proposed to maximize the acoustic contrast between the zones that are defined. The basic concept associated with this approach was proposed by Choi and Kim [J. Acoust. Soc. Am., Vol.111(4), 1695‐1700, Apr. 2002.], but this paper extend this fundamental idea to multiple zone cases. Theoretical formulation which shows what we have proposed is well addressed and several practical cases, including car audio system will be demonstrated.
