Artificial Neural Networks or widely known as Neural networks (ANNs or NNs) is a computational paradigm that comprises of mathematical, statistical, biological sciences and philosophy. These paradigms formulate a formula to form a brain like function, called artificial neuron. Artificial neuron comprises of large number of computational processing elements called units, nodes or cells. Analogou...

In this paper we demonstrate applying time series models on medical research. The Hungarian mortality rates were analysed by autoregressive integrated moving average models and seasonal time series models examined the data of acute childhood lymphoid leukaemia. The mortality data may be analysed by time series methods such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling. This meth...

Atmospheric, non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology offers great promise to address several infection control issues in health care and life sciences. NTP-based processes have the ability to inactivate harmful infectious microorganisms (pathogens) with minimal impact to surrounding material and tissue. In addition, NTP processes offer advantages over antibiotics and chemical disinfectants: lethali...

Some systems have been developped to help psychiatrist to do diagnoses. Among the tried approaches to characterize disease by systems, the study of face movements seems very informative concerning the state of the patient. We present in this work a set of methods allowing to characterize 3D head and eyes movements in the following shooting condition: mobility of the subject in sitting position,...

An in-depth systematic tongue color analysis system for medical applications is proposed. Using the tongue color gamut, tongue foreground pixels are first extracted and assigned to one of 12 colors representing this gamut. The ratio of each color for the entire image is calculated and forms a tongue color feature vector. Experimenting on a large dataset consisting of 143 Healthy and 902 Disease...

Linac x-ray and direct gamma irradiation sources were used in this study to irradiate simple polycrystalline alaninein-glass (AiG) dosimeters with low-doses, typical for medical therapy, and high-doses, typical for syringes’ sterilization processe, respectively. The generated “stable” alanine radicals were quantitatively investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in the ...

The objective of this research was to design a 2.4 GHz class AB Power Amplifier (PA), with 0.18um Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) CMOS technology by using Cadence software, for health care applications. The ultimate goal for such application is to minimize the trade-offs between performance and cost, and between performance and low power consumption design. This pap...

It is well known, that high-energy electrons can be used for tumor therapy. The so-called conventionel therapy with 100 through 250keV x· rays causes a great part of the x.rays to be scattered and absorbed in the sane tissue. In spite of the medicamental radiation prophylaxis additional radiation diseaes result by those compton scattered rays. By application of fast electrons and hard x.rays (s...

Edge detection is the basic operation in the image processing and analysis. Multiresolution Sequential Edge Linking (MSEL), which is proposed by Edward J.Delp of Purdue University, has a number of advantages over other edge detection schemes, such as lower false alarm rates while maintaining full connectivity of the edge. However, it is not reasonable in the initial value choosing and time cons...
