The purpose of this study is to present a new method, independent vector analysis (IVA), by extending independent component analysis (ICA) of univariate source signals to multivariate source signals on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). IVA is utilized to relief the limitation of the conventional ICA approach. The proposed method can resolve the permutation problem during individual ICA runs for group brain MR images. The proposed IVA method in conjunction with support vector machine (SVM), we can effectively separate the different part of gray, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from brain soft tissues. In order to demonstrate the proposed IVA-SVM method, experiments are conducted for performance analysis and evaluation. Simulation results show that using IVA can greatly release from the problem cause from traditional ICA to the situation of analyzing inconsistent results of MR image.

This paper focuses on the development and application of a Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) networks-based scheme for Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) in a U-tube Steam Generator (UTSG). First, a NF network is trained with data collected from a full scale UTSG simulator, and residuals are generated for fault detection. To identify the UTSG, a Locally Linear Neuro-Fuzzy (LLNF) model is used. This model is trained using the Locally Linear Model Tree (LOLIMOT) algorithm which is an incremental tree structure algorithm. Then, an evolutionary algorithm is used to train a Mamdani type NF network to classify the residuals. The residuals are analyzed by using this NF classifier for fault isolation purposes.

The positive results seen by ES cells precociously expressing the vWF and PECAM genetic markers on the tetraglyme surfaces suggest a directed differentiation of ES cells into endothelial cells. Surfaces with more cross-linking and higher C:O ratios appear to enhance this differentiation pattern.

Based on the theory of photonic crystal and its characteristic, which was known as photonic band gap (PBG), the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, including absorbing boundary condition and periodic boundary condition, was used to simulate transmission characteristic of two-dimensional photonic crystal, which has periodic Al2O3 cylinder array structure. Incident wave was presumed as s-polarized wave. In two incident angles which were 0° and 30°, electric field, phase and transmissivity in the range of 1-30 μm were calculated. Numerical simulation results showed that PBG of photonic crystal existed in the range 12-18 μm (infrared waveband), and it may be used to develop infrared wave-guide.

In this paper, we present a technique for addressing 3-dimensional face recognition in presence of facial expressions using a bilinear model. The bilinear model allows decoupling the impact of identity and expression on face appearance and encoding their contribution in separate control parameters. This is achieved by first representing faces as parametric surface models described by a fixed length parameter vector. A generic face model is fitted to each face based on a novel technique that relies on geodesic distances to find implicitly corresponding facial landmarks between the model and the face in hand. Model parameters are then used for bilinear decomposition. The experimental results on the publicly available BU-3DFE face database demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique.

Microelectronic biosensors hold great promise for rapid, sensitive and specific in vitro point-of-care immunodiagnostics. In particular, sensors fabricated using organic semiconductors have attractive advantages—such as ease of manufacture and low cost—in the design and implementation of such devices. Furthermore, immobilization of an antibody or protein antigen as a biorecognition element onto an organic semiconducting film allows for direct transduction of biomolecular binding events into an electronic signal which is readily measured and processed. In previous work, we have demonstrated that an antigen can be bound to organic semiconducting films while retaining enzymatic activity after immobilization. The present work considers organic semiconducting films which are spin-cast onto an interdigitated electrode; antibodies labeled with gold-nanoparticles are applied to the organic semiconducting film and serve as a biorecognition element. The sensor geometry includes a high-frequency coplanar waveguide contact metallization to facilitate direct measurement using microwave wafer probes. Equivalent circuit models are derived from microwave measurements over the frequency range 0.3 MHz to 8.5 GHz.

In this paper, four individual approaches to region classification for knowledge-assisted semantic image analysis are presented and comparatively evaluated. All of the examined approaches realize knowledge-assisted analysis via implicit knowledge acquisition, i.e. are based on machine learning techniques such as support vector machines (SVMs), self organizing maps (SOMs), genetic algorithm (GA)and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Under all examined approaches, each image is initially segmented and suitable low-level descriptors are extracted for every resulting segment. Then, each of the aforementioned classifiers is applied to associate every region with a predefined high-level semantic concept. An appropriate evaluation framework has been employed for the comparative evaluation of the above algorithms under varying experimental conditions.
