Sparse Codebook Model of Local Structures for Retrieval of Focal Liver Lesions Using Multiphase Medical Images by Jian Wang, Xian-Hua Han, Yingying Xu, Lanfen Lin, Hongjie Hu, Chongwu Jin, Yen-Wei Chen

“…This study investigates an improved codebook model for the fined-grained medical image representation with the following three advantages: (1) instead of SIFT, we exploit the local patch (structure) as the local descriptor, which can retain all detailed information and is more suitable for the fine-grained medical image applications; (2) in order to more accurately approximate any local descriptor in coding procedure, the sparse coding method, instead of K-means algorithm, is employed for codebook learning and coded vector calculation; (3) we evaluate retrieval performance of focal liver lesions (FLL) using multiphase computed tomography (CT) scans, in which the proposed codebook model is separately learned for each phase. …”

Influence of Y–Bi–Co oxide doping on electrical performance of ZnO varistors based on simulation analysis by Zhengzheng Fu, Zongxi Zhang, Songhai Fan, Tao Cui, Donghui Luo, Yue Yin, Pengfei Meng, Jingke Guo

“…The Voronoi network model explained how Bi2O3 and Co2O3 enhance Y‐doped varistor performance. Grain size was identified as the primary factor affecting the voltage gradient, while the thick grain boundary phase impedance, the direct contact area ratio, surface state density, and donor density were key factors influencing the nonlinear coefficient and leakage current. …”
