Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Quality Control

Quality Control

Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Stability of Conjugated Dienes

Stability of Conjugated Dienes

Introduction
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

Interpreting R Charts

Interpreting R Charts

R chart, or range chart, is a fundamental tool in statistical process control used to monitor the variability within a process. It complements the X-bar (x̄) chart by focusing on the range of the data, rather than individual values, providing a clear picture of the process dispersion over time.
An R chart plots the range of subsets of measurements collected from a process. Each point on the chart represents the range—defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values—of a sample...

Choosing Between z and t Distribution

Choosing Between z and t Distribution

The z and the Student t distribution estimate the population mean using the sample mean and standard deviation. However, to decide which distribution to use for a calculation, one needs to determine the sample size, the nature of the distribution, and whether the population standard deviation is known. If the population standard deviation is known and the population is normally distributed, or if the sample size is greater than 30, the z distribution is preferred. The Student t distribution is...

Summary

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) quality control can be improved with a new regional, alignment-independent measure. This method, based on the entropy of principal directions, reliably detects and corrects residual artifacts in Diffusion Weighted Images (DWI).

Background:

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is crucial in neuroimaging but susceptible to artifacts from motion and low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in Diffusion Weighted Images (DWI).
Existing quality control (QC) methods, often voxel-based or in the DWI domain, may not fully detect all artifacts.
Rigorous QC is essential for accurate DTI data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel, regional, and alignment-independent DTI-QC measure.
To enhance the detection and correction of residual artifacts in DTI data.
To complement existing DTI quality assessment procedures.

Main Methods:

Developed a new DTI-QC measure operating in the DTI domain.
Employed the entropy of the regional distribution of principal directions for artifact detection.
Validated the method's ability to detect and potentially correct residual artifacts.

Main Results:

The proposed regional DTI-QC measure reliably detects residual artifacts.
The method demonstrates potential for correcting identified artifacts.
Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the automatic QC approach.

Conclusions:

The new DTI-QC measure offers a valuable addition to existing quality assessment tools.
This alignment-independent, regional approach improves artifact detection in DTI studies.
The method shows promise for general quality assessment in neuroimaging research.
