This paper investigates the problem of exponential dissipativity for stochastic systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities. The nonlinear system is described by a state equation containing a repeated scalar nonlinearity, which typically appears in recurrent neural networks. Attention is focused on the exponential dissipativity analysis of stochastic systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities with respect to quadratic supply rates. Passive and non-expansive property of stochastic systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities is also characterized. Moreover, a controller has been designed to make the stochastic systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities asymptotically stable. A Marketing-Production system and a Chua circuit are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Fuzzy enhancement is applied in computer aided diagnosis of liver cancer from B moth, ultrasound images as a pre-processing procedure in this paper. It was evaluated with three classifiers including K means, back propagation neural network and support vector machine using 25 features from single gray-level statistic, gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), and gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM). The results show that the fuzzy enhancement algorithm can improve classification accuracy of normal liver, liver cancer and Hemangioma from B moth ultrasound images for three classifiers. It is proved that fuzzy enhancement as an efficient preprocessing procedure could be used in the computer aided diagnosis system of liver cancer.

Delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformer is extensively used in ultrasound imaging. However, the DAS beamformed signals have wide main lobe widths and high side lobe levels, which result in images with limited resolution and low contrast. Recently, a new signal processing method named phase coherence imaging (PCI) for side and grating lobes suppression was proposed. It was based on a statistical analysis of the phase dispersion in the received signals. The contrast could be significantly enhanced. For spatial resolution improvement, adaptive minimum variance (MV)-based beamformer presented in the ultrasound imaging literatures shows great potentials by minimizing off-axis signals, while keeping on-axis ones. In this paper, MV beamforming combined with PCI is introduced to effectively increase the imaging resolution and contrast simultaneously and outperform both MV and PCI beamformers. Two phase coherence factors, the phase coherence factor (PCF) and the sign coherence factor (SCF), are computed based on the measurement of the phase diversity of the received aperture data, and then used to weight the MV beamformed channel sum output. Simulations with point and cyst phantoms using FIELD II demonstrate the expected performance of the proposed beamforming method.

This paper proposes a new approach to determine objective weights geometrically in the multiple attributes decision making (MADM) problems. The proposed method chooses an assumptive attribute as reference to measure the angles between other attributes and itself. The angles reflect the relative importance or weights of these attributes. An example is introduced to demonstrate the effectiveness and stableness of the proposed approach. The insensitiveness to different normalizations of the new method are also analyzed.

In this paper, the global exponential convergence of a general class of periodic neural networks with time-varying delays is investigated. Based on the theory of mixed monotone operator, a testable algebraic criteria for ascertaining global exponential convergence is derived. Furthermore, the rate of exponential convergence and bound of the networks are also estimated. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.

In this paper, stability of multiple equilibria of neural networks with time-varying delays and concave-convex characteristics is formulated and studied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that an n-neuron neural network with concave-convex characteristics can have a fixed point located in the appointed region. By means of an appropriate partition of the n-dimensional state space, when nonlinear activation functions of an n-neuron neural network are concave or convex in 2k+2m-1 intervals, this neural network can have (2k+2m-1)(n) equilibrium points. This result can be applied to the multiobjective optimal control and associative memory. In particular, several succinct criteria are given to ascertain multistability of cellular neural networks. These stability conditions are the improvement and extension of the existing stability results in the literature. A numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical findings via computer simulations.

The influence of sample dilution upon cluster disruption/formation within a ferrofluid sample is investigated by monitoring the temperature dependence of the initial AC susceptibility. The effective magnetic response of the ferrofluid sample is described by a combination of Langevin's functions modulated by the relative content of monomers and clusters. Deviations from the linearity found in the inverse susceptibility versus temperature (chi(-1) T) data were successfully described via the disruption of clusters into monomers within the approach of a second order phase transition at the critical temperature T*. We found T* increasing monotonically from 386 K to 412 K as the stock ferrofluid sample is diluted up to a factor of 5. In the same dilution range, we found the normalized relative content of clusters increasing from about 38% up to 42%, whereas the average effective magnetic moment of the clusters increased by a factor of 1.7.

3D Ultrasound has recently been a routine imaging modality for medical diagnosing and in other bioscience fields. Compared to the conventional method where 2D images are used to represent a 3D anatomy, clinicians base upon their experience, build the 3D anatomy mentally. This approach has many short comings where 3D ultrasound has well addressed, but with high computational burden. Discussed in this paper is an alternative method to achieve 3D ultrasound image with less processing time and minimum memory usage, while preserving the raw quality of the images. Experimental 3D ultrasound image reconstruction was done using standard simulated phantom and results were compared to the traditional method. It demonstrated that the proposed method reconstructed 3D ultrasound image with less time and decreased in memory consumption.
