Otitis Media (OM) is the general name of middle ear inflammation. In order to diagnose this disease, it is important to examine the middle ear tympanic membrane (TM) by a standard otoscopy device. In recent years, biomedical image processing and machine learning algorithms have become quite effective in diagnostic applications. To this aim, we propose a combination of gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to distinguish acute tympanic membrane otoscope images from normal images. For the experiment, totally 223 middle ear otoscope images were collected from the volunteer patients admitted to Van Özel Akdamar Hospital. In the experimental study, the texture features are obtained separately from R, G, and B channels and then consolidated. In addition to the texture features provided by GLCM, the average values of each channels of the otoscope images are taken into account so as to determine whether the otoscope image belongs to acute or normal class. Lastly, this feature set is applied as the input to ANN. By experimental studies, we achieved 76.14% accuracy and with this model, we achieved promising results in diagnosing normal and acute OM disease. Consequently, the texture features were found as useful to classify normal and acute OM disease.

Ising machines have attracted attention as they are expected to solve combinatorial optimization problems at high speed with Ising models corresponding to those problems. An induced subgraph isomorphism problem is one of the decision problems, which determines whether a specific graph structure is included in a whole graph or not. The problem can be represented by equality constraints. By using the penalty functions correspond to the equality constraints, we can utilize an Ising machine to the induced subgraph isomorphism problem. The induced subgraph isomorphism problem can be seen in many practical problems, for example, finding out a particular malicious circuit in a device or particular network structure of chemical bonds in a compound. However, due to the limitation of the number of spin variables in the current Ising machines, reducing the number of spin variables is a major concern. Here, we propose an efficient Ising model mapping method to solve the induced subgraph isomorphism problem by Ising machines. Our proposed method theoretically solves the induced subgraph isomorphism problem. Furthermore, the number of spin variables in the Ising model generated by our proposed method is theoretically smaller than that of the conventional method. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method can successfully solve the induced subgraph isomorphism problem using the Ising-model based simulated annealing.

The paper proposes a method of a hull parametric modeling of a small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) ship. This approach allows you to create and transform the hull of the ship with desired parameters in a quick and effective way. The presented method gives a complete mathematical description of the hull surface with the help of geometric optimization. The authors have proposed two SWATH parametric models both for one strut and for two struts on each lower hull, modeled with the use of T-FLEX CAD system. The use of hull parametric models of SWATH ships allows calculating navigation and strength properties of the ship, optimizing the hull form and finding the most successful design solutions before proceeding with detailed design.
