It is easy for a multi-layered perception (MLP) to form open plane classification borders, and for a radial basis function network (RBFN) to form closed circular or elliptic classification borders. In contrast, it is difficult for a MLP to form closed circular or elliptic classification borders, and for RBFN to form open plane classification borders. Hence, MLP and RBFN have their own advantage...

In this paper, we propose an enhanced adaptive muting method using a sigmoid function, which is based on a parameter tracking technique for the packet loss concealment algorithm of ITUT G.722 speech codec. The packet loss concealment algorithm performs an adaptive muting to prevent the generation of unnecessary noises or clicks during packet loss recovery. While a conventional muting method app...

In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive muting method using a sigmoid function for the packet loss concealment algorithm of ITU-T G.722 Recommendation. The packet loss concealment algorithm performs an adaptive muting to prevent the generation of unnecessary noise during packet loss recovery. While muting is linearly and discontinuously performed according to packet errors, our muting ap...

background : colorectal cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. annually it is the cause of more than 500000 deaths worldwide. therefore, detection and treatment of these tumors could potentially enhance recovery and improve prognosis. this study determines the frequency of colorectal tumors among patients who underwent colonoscopies in imam khomeini hosp...

AIMS In occupational settings, carcinogenic exposures are often repeated or protracted over time. The time pattern of exposure accrual may influence subsequent temporal patterns of cancer risk. The authors present several simple models that may be used to evaluate the influence of time since exposure or age at exposure on cancer incidence or mortality in an occupational cohort. METHODS A coho...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

The contrast of any image is a very important characteristic by which the image can be judged as good or poor. In this paper, we introduce a simple approach for the process of image contrast enhancement using the sigmoid function in spatial domain. To achieve this simple contrast enhancement, a novel mask based on using the input value together with the sigmoid function formula in an equation t...

Colorectal cancer and diabetes are common diseases that share many risk factors. It has been hypothesized that diabetes is a risk factor for colorectal cancer. We used two large population-based case-control studies from North Carolina to determine whether diabetes and/or insulin therapy was associated with colon cancer and/or rectal cancer (defined as cancer of the sigmoid colon, rectosigmoid,...

in this article, the prcsigrnoid avenue to pertroclivai region is introduced and the advantage of such an approach is disusscd. ten patients were operated on by this approach. two illustrative cases are also presented.
