Deep networks have set the state-of-the-art in most image analysis tasks by replacing handcrafted features with learned convolution filters within end-to-end trainable architectures. Still, the specifications of a convolutional network are subject to...
This paper presents a method for calculating the health degree (HD) of a braking system of a mine hoist combined with three-level fuzzy comprehensive assessment (TLFCA) and a back-propagation neural network (BPNN). Firstly, the monitored values of a ...
The Lung nodules are very important to indicate the lung cancer, and its early detection enables timely treatment and increases the survival rate of patient. Even though lots of works are done in this area, still improvement in accuracy is required f...
Until recently, glia, which exceeds the number of neurons, was considered to only have supportive roles in the central nervous system, providing homeostatic controls and metabolic supports. However, recent studies suggest that glia interacts with neu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The calcaneus is the most fracture-prone tarsal bone and injuries to the surrounding tissue are some of the most difficult to treat. Currently there is a lack of consensus on treatment or interpretation of computed tomograp...
OBJECTIVES: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a minimally invasive modality for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Outcome prediction of this modality is very important for proper case selection. The aim of this study was to create artifici...
Precise segmentation and anatomical identification of the vertebrae provides the basis for automatic analysis of the spine, such as detection of vertebral compression fractures or other abnormalities. Most dedicated spine CT and MR scans as well as s...
Achievements of near human-level performance in object recognition by deep neural networks (DNNs) have triggered a flood of comparative studies between the brain and DNNs. Using a DNN as a proxy for hierarchical visual representations, our recent stu...

In this paper, a memristive artificial neural circuit imitating the excitatory chemical synaptic transmission of biological synapse is designed. The proposed memristor-based neural circuit exhibits synaptic plasticity, one of the important neurochemi...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality from infectious disease in developing countries. The sputum smear microscopy remains the primary diagnostic laboratory test. However, microscopic examination is always time-consum...
