Investigation of a rapid infrared heating assisted mineralization of soybean matrices for trace element analysis.

Food chemistry
A fast sample preparation procedure based on use of infrared (IR) assisted heating for mineralization of soybean derived samples has been developed for their subsequent multielement analysis by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry...

Metal artifact reduction on cervical CT images by deep residual learning.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women, which is the third leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Brachytherapy is the most effective treatment for cervical cancer. For brachytherapy, computed tomography (C...

A 0.086-mm 12.7-pJ/SOP 64k-Synapse 256-Neuron Online-Learning Digital Spiking Neuromorphic Processor in 28-nm CMOS.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
Shifting computing architectures from von Neumann to event-based spiking neural networks (SNNs) uncovers new opportunities for low-power processing of sensory data in applications such as vision or sensorimotor control. Exploring roads toward cogniti...

Automatic detection and classification of manufacturing defects in metal boxes using deep neural networks.

PloS one
This paper develops a new machine vision framework for efficient detection and classification of manufacturing defects in metal boxes. Previous techniques, which are based on either visual inspection or on hand-crafted features, are both inaccurate a...

CT sinogram-consistency learning for metal-induced beam hardening correction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This paper proposes a sinogram-consistency learning method to deal with beam hardening-related artifacts in polychromatic computerized tomography (CT). The presence of highly attenuating materials in the scan field causes an inconsistent sin...

Anthropogenic activities impact on atmospheric environmental quality in a gas-flaring community: application of fuzzy logic modelling concept.

Environmental science and pollution research international
We present a modelling concept for evaluating the impacts of anthropogenic activities suspected to be from gas flaring on the quality of the atmosphere using domestic roof-harvested rainwater (DRHRW) as indicator. We analysed seven metals (Cu, Cd, Pb...

Antifungal activities against toxigenic Fusarium specie and deoxynivalenol adsorption capacity of ion-exchanged zeolites.

Journal of environmental science and health. Part. B, Pesticides, food contaminants, and agricultural wastes
Zeolites are often used as adsorbents materials and their loaded cations can be exchanged with metal ions in order to add antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to use the 4A zeolite and its derived ion-exchanged forms with Zn, Li, Cu an...

Evaluation of a peroxygen-based disinfectant for inactivation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus at low temperatures on metal surfaces.

Veterinary microbiology
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly across the United States in part due to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test a peroxygen-based disinfectant for the ability to inactivate PEDV on aluminum surfa...

Microwave-assisted digestion using diluted HNO and HO for macro and microelements determination in guarana samples by ICP OES.

Food chemistry
A microwave-assisted digestion procedure using diluted HNO and HO was developed for multi-element determination in guarana samples by ICP OES. Optimization step was performed employing a mixture design with pseudocomponents using HNO, HO and HO. The ...

How Well Does Dual-energy CT with Fast Kilovoltage Switching Quantify CT Number and Iodine and Calcium Concentrations?

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Because it is imperative for understanding the performance of dual-energy computed tomography scanner to determine clinical diagnosis, we aimed to assess the accuracy of quantitative measurements using dual-energy computed t...
