In this note, adaptive neural network (NN) control is investigated for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with asymmetric saturation actuators and external disturbances. To handle the effect of nonsmooth asymmetric saturation nonlinearity, a Gaus...
INTRODUCTION: The flexible endoscope is increasingly being considered as a surgical tool to enable innovative natural orifice or flexible access techniques. These experiences have exposed unique advantages but also significant challenges. Major curre...
There is an increasing interest in learning mappings from features to saliency maps based on human fixation data on natural images. These models have achieved better results than most bottom-up (unsupervised) saliency models. However, they usually us...

The detection of MRI abnormalities that can be associated to seizures in the study of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a challenging task. In many cases, patients with a record of epileptic activity do not present any discernible MRI findings. In this...
This work is directed toward the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect abnormalities or suspicious areas in digital mammograms and classify them as malignant or nonmalignant. Original mammogram is preprocessed to separate t...
