The Oscillating Component of the Internal Jugular Vein Flow: The Overlooked Element of Cerebral Circulation by Francesco Sisini, Eleuterio Toro, Mauro Gambaccini, Paolo Zamboni

“…The jugular venous pulse (JVP) provides valuable information about cardiac haemodynamics and filling pressures and is an indirect estimate of the central venous pressure (CVP). Recently it has been proven that JVP can be obtained by measuring the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the IJV on each sonogram of an ultrasound B-mode sonogram sequence. …”

Zoea Crab Larva Counter (CLARCO) Based On Image Processing With Adaptive Gaussian Filter Algorithm And Blob Detection Technique by Furqan Zakiyabarsi, Arizal Arizal, Annisa Nurul Puteri, Achmad Zulfajri S, Muhammad Syafaat

“…The low larval survival rate is due to the unknown larval stocking density, which causes cannibalism, a feed-to-larvae ratio that is out of proportion to the number of larvae needed to maintain water quality, a water supply that is out of proportion to stocking density, and is economically unfavorable in terms of cultivation, feed management, maintaining water quality, and the buying and selling process. Accurately estimating the amount of crab larvae is anticipated to boost their survival rate and make them more economically successful. …”
