OBJECTIVE To improve the quality of expectation maximizing (EM) for brain image segmentation, and to evaluate the accuracy of segmentation results. METHODS This brain segmentation study was conducted in Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdong, Malaysia between February and November 2010 on simulated and real images using novel improvement for EM. The EM-1 (proposed algorithm) was compared with n...

BACKGROUND Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and iron isomaltoside 1000 (IIM) are increasingly used because they allow correction of severe iron deficiency in a single infusion. A transient decrease in serum phosphate concentrations is a frequent side effect of FCM. AIM To characterize this adverse event and search for its predictors in a gastroenterology clinic patient cohort. METHODS Electronic...

A new fuzzified terminal guidance law is proposed which employs the versatile feature of the fuzzy logic system to shape a beneficial trajectory for target interception. In the proposed scheme, the guidance law is partitioned into three stages in accordance with the relative range between the interceptor and target. Estimated line-of-sight angle, line-of-sight angle rate, line-of-sight angular ...

This work develops a knowledge based system to autonomous navigation using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM). A new variant of FCM, named Dynamic-Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, (D-FCM) is used to model decision tasks and/or make inference in the robot or mobile navigation. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps is a tool that modeling qualitative structured knowledge way through concepts and causal relationships. The proposed ...

Image segmentation is a vital part of image processing. Segmentation has its application widespread in the field of medical images in order to diagnose curious diseases. The same medical images can be segmented manually. But the accuracy of image segmentation using the segmentation algorithms is more when compared with the manual segmentation. In the field of medical diagnosis an extensive dive...

OBJECTIVE To analyse how DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction (SPF) by flow cytometry (FCM) and an optimised fully automatic DNA image cytometer (ICM) correlate with grade in TaT1 urothelial cell carcinomas (UC) of the urinary bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two-hundred-and twenty-eight consensus cases were analysed. Single cell suspensions were stained (DAPI for FCM, Feulgen for ICM). There was en...

A fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) is a cognitive map within the relations between the elements. FCM has been widely used in many applications such as experts system and knowledge engineering. However, classical FCM is inherently short of sufficient capability of representing and aggregating uncertain information. In this paper, generalized FCM (GFCM) is proposed based on genetic algorithm and interv...
