RATIONALE Abdominal apoplexy is a rare and fatal emergency event, which is coined as a comparison to the cerebrovascular apoplexy. The exact mechanism of abdominal apoplexy was unclear, but arteriosclerosis, hypertension, abdominal aneurysm, and other predisposing angiopathy were considered to be the main reasons of abdominal apoplexy. The development of the imaging technology gave us more oppo...

Self Attention has shown the excellent performance in tracking due to its global modeling capability. However, it brings two challenges: First, receptive field less attention on local structure and inter-channel associations, which limits semantics distinguish objects backgrounds; Second, feature fusion with linear process cannot avoid interference of non-target semantic objects. To solve above...

The anatomical variations of the abdominal arteries are important due to its clinical significance. Various types of vascular anomalies are frequently found in human abdominal viscera, during cadaveric dissection and diagnostic radiological imaging. The present report describes a variation in the celiac trunk as found during routine dissection in a 59-year-old male cadaver. The celiac trunk (CT...

This study examines the use of machine learning methods to read printed sheet music and classify note duration and pitch. Applying Gaussian Discriminant Analysis (GDA) on features extracted from sheet music, classification of notes duration and pitch are learned on a training set and applied to a testing set. This approach results in relatively successful classification of notes, but does not p...

PURPOSE This study demonstrated invasive and reproducible hepatic artery catheterization in rats. A rigorously documented guide and pictorial essay describes the performance of an invasive hepatic artery catheterization technique suitable for the study of liver-targeted interventional procedures in rodent models of liver cancer. The goal was to produce a well-illustrated guide to hepatic artery...

This paper introduces a new and very simple search methodology called Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing (LAHC). It is a one-point iterative search algorithm, which accepts non-improving moves when a candidate cost function is better (or equal) than it was a number of iterations before. This value appears as a single algorithmic input parameter which determines the total processing time of the searc...

Synthetic biology is a new field in which engineers, biologists, and chemists are working together to transform genetic engineering into an advanced engineering discipline, one in which the design and construction of novel genetic circuits are made possible through the application of engineering principles. This dissertation explores two engineering strategies to address the challenges of worki...
