Automatic 3D neuron reconstruction is critical for analysing the morphology and functionality of neurons in brain circuit activities. However, performance existing tracing algorithms hinged by low image quality. Recently, a series deep learning based segmentation methods have been proposed to improve quality raw optical stacks removing noises restoring neuronal structures from low-contrast back...

This work proposes innovative permutation-based procedures controlling the Familywise Error rate (FWE). It is proofed that weighted procedures control the FWE if weights are a function of the sufficient statistic. Particularly, we focus on the use of the additional information given by the total variance of each variables. The first proposal considers the use of weights applied to the combining...

We propose the B c → B * u γ decay as the most suitable probe for the flavour changing neutral transition c → uγ. We estimate the short and long distance contributions to this decay within the standard model and we find them to be comparable; this is in contrast to radia-tive decays of D mesons, that are completely dominated by the long distance contributions. Since the c → uγ transition is ver...

Frane (2015) pointed out the difference between per-family and familywise Type I error control and how different multiple comparison procedures control one method but not necessarily the other. He then went on to demonstrate in the context of a two group multivariate design containing different numbers of dependent variables and correlations between variables how the per-family rate inflates be...

iranian civilization is one of the oldest and most influential civilizations of history, and iran as the origin of persian civilization, has been ruled by numerous states throughout history. some of them, while enjoying considerable glory and high level of economic and political power, have sometimes been declined and finally overthrown. having these points in mind, the main questions are prese...

This paper addresses the following general scenario: A scientist wishes to perform a battery of experiments, each generating a sequential stream of data, to investigate some phenomenon. The scientist would like to control the overall error rate in order to draw statistically-valid conclusions from each experiment, while being as efficient as possible. The between-stream data may differ in distr...
