Long-patch Base Excision Repair01:02

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

8.0K
Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

527
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

State Space Representation01:27

State Space Representation

610
The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Graphical Representation of Inequalities01:28

Graphical Representation of Inequalities

233
The graph of the equation where y equals x squared forms a curve known as a parabola. This curve acts as a boundary in the coordinate plane, dividing it into distinct regions based on the relative position of points.When the equality sign in the equation is replaced with an inequality—such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to—the graphical representation changes from a single curve into a broader shaded area that signifies the set of all...

Control Volume and System Representations01:16

Control Volume and System Representations

1.6K
Two key frameworks are employed to analyze mass, energy, and momentum transfer: the control volume approach and the system approach. These frameworks offer different perspectives, depending on whether the focus is on a specific region in space (control volume approach) or a defined mass of fluid (system approach).
The control volume approach considers a stationary region in space through which fluid flows. This region is bounded by a control surface.  For instance, in the case of water...

Introduction to z Scores01:06

Introduction to z Scores

11.3K
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one.
z scores...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic, potentially life-threatening skin condition.
  • Accurate severity scoring is crucial for effective dermatological treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a semi-supervised computer-aided system for automatic erythema severity scoring in psoriasis images.
  • To evaluate the system's performance against established feature extraction methods.

Main Methods:

  • A novel dictionary construction and sparse representation method for unsupervised feature extraction.
  • Aggregation of local features to create an image representation vector.
  • Training of multi-class machine learning classifiers for supervised erythema severity scoring.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system achieved accurate and consistent erythema scoring.
  • Dictionaries with more atoms and smaller patch sizes provided superior feature representation.
  • Random Forest classifier yielded the highest F1 score (0.71), outperforming SVM and boosting.
  • The approach demonstrated significant performance improvements over Bag of Visual Words (9%) and AlexNet (12%) based features.

Conclusions:

  • The developed semi-supervised system offers an effective tool for objective psoriasis erythema severity assessment.
  • The findings highlight the importance of dictionary properties and classifier choice in achieving high accuracy.
  • This automated approach has the potential to aid dermatologists in clinical decision-making and patient management.
