Radiologic Artifacts: Recognition, Minimisation, and Clinical Implications by Sorin-Marian Mârza, Radu Lăcătuș, Felix Daniel Lucaci, Robert Cristian Purdoiu

“…This review examines major artifact types, such as metal, bone, motion, and beam-hardening artifacts, and discusses the effectiveness of current minimization strategies, including dual-energy CT, iterative reconstruction, and AI-driven models. Key findings suggest that while advanced techniques have improved artifact management, certain artifacts, particularly those caused by metallic implants, continue to compromise image quality. …”

Using Chebyshev’s polynomials for solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by José Antonio Ezquerro, Miguel Ángel Hernández-Verón

“… The main problem with the Newton method is the computation of the inverse of the first derivative of the operator involved at each iteration step. Thus, when we want to apply the Newton method directly to solve an integral equation, the existence of the inverse of the first derivative is guaranteed, when the kernel is sufficiently differentiable into any of its two components, through its approximation by Taylor’s polynomial. …”

Noise-robust linear prediction analysis of speech based on super-Gaussian excitation by Bin ZHOU, Xia ZOU, Xiong-wei ZHANG, Gai-hua ZHAO

“…To overcome the problem that the performance of the traditional linear prediction (LP) analysis of speech dete-riorates significantly in the presence of background noise,a novel algorithm for robust LP analysis of speech based on super-Gaussian excitation was proposed.The excitation noise of LP was modeled as a Student-t distribution,which was shown to be super-Gaussian.Then a novel probabilistic graphical model for robust LP analysis of speech was built by in-corporating the effect of additive noise explicitly.Furthermore,variational Bayesian inference was adopted to approxi-mate the intractable posterior distributions of the model parameters,based on which the LP coefficients of the noisy speech were estimated iteratively.The experimental results show that the developed algorithm performs well in terms of LP coefficients estimation of speech and is much more robust to ambient noise than several other algorithms.…”

Resource optimization for UAV relay networks based on physical-layer network coding by Junyi YANG, Bo LI, Qinyu ZHANG

“…To solve the problem of low resource utilization of the traditional two-way communication network with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as relays, a resource optimization algorithm based on physical-layer network coding was proposed.Considering the transmission power constraints of the UAV relay communication network, the maximum speed constraints of the UAV and the synchronization requirements of the physical-layer network coding, a resource allocation model for joint optimization of transmission power and UAV trajectory design was formulated to minimize the system outage probability.By decoupling the original non-convex problem into two sub-problems, an iterative algorithm was proposed to realize the joint implementation of optimal trajectory design and optimal system power distribution based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, Lagrangian duality method and subgradient method.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the system performance and reduce the possibility of communication interruption.…”
