In this paper, a novel geometric calibration method for C-arm cone-beam scanners is presented which allows the calibration of the circle-plus-arc trajectory. The main idea is the separation of the trajectory into two circular segments (circle segment and arc segment) which are calibrated independently. This separation makes it possible to reuse a calibration phantom which has been successfully ...

  Background : Determining the validity of current median sensory nerve conduction techniques for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).   Methods: Eighty five patients with clinical diagnosis of CTS were compared with the same number of healthy people. The validity of electrodiagnostic tests were compared in a case-control manner. These electrodiagnostictechniques included long-segment, sh...

Ah.strwt-ln this paper, we study the code assignment problem in High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) Networks. L n HSDPA, the spreading factor of codes is fixed at 16, and the maximum number of bits reserved for code assignment transmitted on the control channel is limited to 64 bits. This high control overhead may lead to inefficiencies in HSDPA systems when the number of mobile nodes in ...

Abstract With the increasing scale of distribution networks and mass access distributed generation, traditional centralized fault location methods can no longer meet performance requirements speed high accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a segment method based on spiking neural P systems Bayesian estimation for with generation. First, network system topology is decoupled into single-branch...

In this note some useful properties of strongly continuous two-parameter semigroups of operators are studied, an exponential formula for two-parameter semigroups of operators on Banach spaces is obtained and some applied examples of two-parameter dynamical systems are discussed

In this paper we will investigate which fuzzy/linguistic rules are redundant in systems of such rules called linguistic descriptions. We present a formal definition of redundancy and show that rules which are seemingly redundant can be in fact indispensable. These results apply for IF-THEN rules which use evaluative linguistic expressions (e.g., small, very big, etc.) and inference method calle...
