Shape analysis plays an important role in many medical imaging studies. One of the recent shape analysis methods uses the Laplace Beltrami operator which is also used in this paper for hippocampal shape comparison. We proposed a feature vector which consists of size measures and shape descriptors based on Laplace Beltrami eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. The aforementioned feature space is utilised for automatic differentiating normal subjects from epileptic patients as well as distinguishing epileptic patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy (LTLE) from patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy (RTLE). Achieved results are diagnostic accuracy of 93% with 95% sensitivity and lateralization accuracy of 86%. The results are comparable to spherical harmonic based shape analysis results and notably improved in comparison to volumetric analysis results.

Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is an effective way of multipacket reception to combat interference. As conventional CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) is designed for single packet reception, it is unclear whether or not CSMA performs well to exploit the SIC capability. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a simple CSMA protocol in a network with SIC. For a given link, we derive the residing areas of an interfering node when simultaneous transmission is allowed and when the interference is harmful, respectively. We show that, though SIC provides many new transmission opportunities, CSMA cannot effectively exploit them. There is a fundamental tradeoff in a CSMA protocol between exploiting the transmission opportunities from SIC and capturing the harmful interference. In many cases, when CSMA achieves its best performance, almost all new transmission opportunities are not exploited. It is therefore very necessary to design a new distributed access protocol in wireless networks with SIC.

A flexible transparent modify dipole antenna printed on PET film is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna was designed to operate at 2.4GHz for ISM applications. The impedance characteristic and the radiation characteristic were simulated and measured. The proposed antenna has good performance. It can be easily mounted on conformal shape, because it is fabricated on PET film having the flexible characteristic.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been widely used for nondestructive characterization of microstructures of myocardium or brain connectivity. It requires repeated acquisition with different diffusion gradients. The long acquisition time greatly limits the clinical application of DTI. In this paper, a novel method, named model-based method with joint sparsity constraint (MB-JSC), effectively incorporates the prior information on the joint sparsity of different diffusion-weighted images in direct estimation of the diffusion tensor from highly undersampled k-space data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to estimate the diffusion tensors more accurately than the existing method when a high net reduction factor is used.

A passive image steganalysis method is proposed to universally detect spatial-domain steganography schemes. It is shown to have better performance than universal steganalyzers known to be powerful in spatial domain, including the WFLogSv and the WAM methods. This level of accuracy is the result of improving the WFLogSv steganalyzer by considering a more comprehensive relationship between the singular values of each image block and the linear correlation of the rows and the columns. That is, instead of the closeness of the lower singular values to zero, the energy distribution of the singular values is investigated. An innovative measure is proposed for this investigation, which is inspired from arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality. Experimental results confirm the supremacy of the proposed steganalysis scheme over its counterparts.
