The detection and tracking of small targets under low signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) has been a challenging task for infrared search track (IRST) systems. Track-before-detect (TBD) is widely-known algorithm which can solve this problem. However, huge computation costs storage requirements limit its application. To address these issues, dynamic programming (DP) multiple hypothesis testing (MHT)-b...

Microwave hydrothermal treatment (MHT), a novel advanced technology, was proposed for the fractionation of Paulownia wood (PW) at temperatures ranging 200–230 °C and residence times 0–50 min, corresponding to severities 2.93–4.70. This procedure allowed 80% xylan recovery as xylooligosaccharides an average 95% cellulose in pretreated PW biomass, showing selectivity treatment, that also compared...

Menopause is a natural and inevitable physiological process of the decline reproductive function due to decrease in ovarian function, which every woman has face after about 45–60 years. During this period hormonal changes female body needs support more than ever, because quality life modern directly depends on it.The question menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) safety relation risk breast cancer p...

BACKGROUND Computed Tomography (CT) is a useful diagnostic technology, particularly in accident and emergency departments. OBJECTIVES To identify a comprehensive list of indications for application of CT in patients with minor head trauma (MHT) and to determine appropriateness of its use on the basis of this list. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in three Imaging ...

Purpose: Magnetic hyperthermia treatment (MHT) is a strategy for cancer therapy using the temperature rise of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) under an alternating magnetic field (AMF). Recently, a new imaging method called magnetic particle imaging (MPI) has been introduced. MPI allows imaging of the spatial distribution of MNPs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of vis...

The need to accurately track breakups and satellite clusters, as well as to resolve uncorrelated tracks (UCTs), especially uncorrelated optical observations (UCOs), requires new, robust, and autonomous methods for space surveillance to enable the development and maintenance of the space catalog and to support the overall SSA mission. This paper presents results on the performance of a newly-dev...

Knowledge about the impact of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on the risk of ovarian cancer (OvC) is insufficient, and studies are inconsistent. Mortality from OvC ranks highest among cancer sites in female reproductive organs. We performed meta-analyses to assess the impact of specified types of MHT on the risk of OvC in cohort studies (CS), case-control studies (CCS), randomized controlled t...

In this paper we develop a new general Viterbi algorithm for multitarget tracking. A standard Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) formulation, based on Maximum A Posterior (MAP) estimation, is considered for optimally associating measurement data over time to form estimates of the multiple tracks. For estimating K tracks, a trellis diagram of the measurements is used to depict all track set hypo...

'Mild' hyperbaric therapy (MHT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are easily confused. Essentially the difference lies in the effective oxygen dose. Oxygen is an extremely useful and efficacious drug in a wide range of medical conditions. MHT does not typically provide more available oxygen to the body than is possible with oxygen administration at one atmosphere (sea level), and there is no known ...

Research has shown an association between psychological status and survival in some cancers. This study examined current distress, history of mental health problems (MHP), and history of mental health treatment (MHT) as predictors of overall survival among newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer. Methods: Eligible patients (N=302) were women, 18 and older, recently diagnosed with stage 0 – ...
