Detection of Postcoronary Stent Complication: Utility of 64-Slice Multidetector CT by Alpa Bharati, Suleman Merchant, Tilak Suvarna, Neha Parashar

“…Coronary stent fracture is a known complication of coronary arterial stent placements. Multiple long-term risks are also associated with drug eluting stents. 64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT) coronary angiography has been shown to detect poststent complications such as instent stenosis, thrombosis, stent migration and stent fractures. …”

User grouping and power allocation algorithm for UAV-aided NOMA network by Guoquan LI, Jinzhao LIN, Yongjun XU, Zhengwen HUANG, Ting LIU

“…To improve the transmission flexibility of emergency communication scenarios,a joint user grouping and power allocation algorithm was proposed for UAV-aided non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system.A sum-rate maximization resource allocation algorithm was formulated under the constraints of the maximum transmit power and the user grouping.To solve the non-convex problem,a graph-based user grouping algorithm was proposed to minimize the relative distance between the UAV and users.Based on the grouping result,the power allocation sub-problem was transformed into a convex one by using the auxiliary-variable approach.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of sum rates.…”

Adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion for language recognition by Zhong-fu YE, Ting QI, Sai-feng LI, Yan SONG

“…In order to alleviate the mismatch in model between training and testing samples caused by inter-language variations,adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion was proposed for language recognition.The local distance-based outlier factor (LDOF) criterion was defined to find the appropriate model parameters and dynamically select the training data subset similar to the testing samples from multiple class training sets.Then original back-end was adjusted to obtain a more matched recognition model.Experimental results on NIST LRE 2009 easily-confused language data set show that proposed method achieves an obvious performance improvement on both the equal error rate (ERR) and average decision cost function.…”

Damage initiation in brittle and ductile materials as revealed from a fractoluminescence study by Alexandre Chmel, Igor’ Shcherbakov

“…A set of heterogeneous and homogeneous materials differing in their brittle and ductile characteristics (granite, marble, silica ceramics, silicon carbide, organic glass) were subjected to impact damaging by a falling weight. Multiple chemical bond ruptures produced by elastic waves propagating from a damaged zone were accompanied by the photon emission generated throughout the sample (tribo- or fractoluminescence, FL). …”

Exploring QSAR for Antimalarial Activities and Drug Distribution within Blood of a Series of 4-Aminoquinoline Drugs Using Genetic-MLR by Amir Najafi, Soheil Sobhanardakani, Mehdi Marjani

“…QSAR modeling of the antimalarial activity and blood-to-plasma concentration ratio of Chloroquine and a new series of 4-aminoquinoline derivatives were developed using genetic algorithms with multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) method. We obtained two different models against Chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and Chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum with good adjustment levels. …”
