A SIMPLE AUTOMATIC SYRINGE

SALSA - A Simple Automatic Lung Segmentation Algorithm

This section contains a concise description of the algorithm, that is divided into 6 steps. After the original image is loaded, a simple thresholding operation is performed to discard data that we are confident that do not belong to the lungs (Figure 1a). After the thresholding, we select the outermost boundary voxels in the axial slices of this pre-segmented volume. The seeds found in Step 1 a...

A Simple Automatic MT Evaluation Metric

This paper describes a simple evaluation metric for MT which attempts to overcome the well-known deficits of the standard BLEU metric from a slightly different angle. It employes Levenshtein’s edit distance for establishing alignment between the MT output and the reference translation in order to reflect the morphological properties of highly inflected languages. It also incorporates a very sim...

A Simple Automatic Short Photoperiod Device.

A jig for the agla micrometer syringe for automatic quantitative applications in paper electrophoresis.

This test is quick, cheap, simple, and painless. It is adequate in most cases for the diagnosis of achlorhydria. The usefulness of test meals for diagnosing any other gastric abnormality is questionable. The term " achlorhydria " is usually taken to mean that the gastric juice has a pH of more than 3, as shown by Topfer's reagent or thymol blue. It denotes a relative " an "-acidity rather than ...

A Portable VolumejFlow Calibrating Syringe*

Two samples of a manual 3 L calibrating syringe which displays an electronically calculated FEF25-75% were evaluated to determine its suitability as a flow calibrator were evaluated. Room air was discharged into a manual spirometer system known to be accurate. The calibrator-determined values correlated very closely with the spirometer values over an FEF25-75 % range of 0.4 to 9 L/sec. The diff...
