Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

423
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence of...

Multi-Step Reactions02:31

Multi-Step Reactions

8.8K
Chemical reactions often occur in a stepwise fashion involving two or more distinct reactions taking place in a sequence. A balanced equation indicates the reacting species and the product species, but it reveals no details about how the reaction occurs at the molecular level. The reaction mechanism (or reaction path) provides details regarding the precise, step-by-step process by which a reaction occurs. Each of the steps in a reaction mechanism is called an elementary reaction. These...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.8K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER01:29

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER

18.4K
The rough ER membrane synthesizes, assembles, and embeds transmembrane proteins in diverse topologies. These proteins function as transporters or channels and can remain in the ER membrane or are sent to the Golgi complex, lysosome, and cell membrane.
The multipass transmembrane proteins are the type IV integral membrane proteins with multiple topogenic sequences determining their spatial arrangement in the ER membrane. Nearly all multipass proteins lack a cleavable signal sequence and use...

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels01:09

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

6.6K
In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Sensory Modalities01:15

Sensory Modalities

3.9K
Sensation typically is the process by which the sensory receptors and sense organs detect stimuli from the internal and external environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system for processing.
General senses refer to the broad category of sensory information detected by receptors in the body and can be further grouped into somatic and visceral senses. Somatic sensations include touch, pressure, temperature, and pain and are essential for navigating our environment and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Neuroscience
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Accurate hippocampus segmentation in infant MRI is crucial for studying early brain development and neurological disorders.
  • Existing multi-atlas label fusion methods struggle with the rapid appearance changes and poor contrast in infant brains.
  • Dramatic changes in infant brain appearance and low image contrast pose challenges for current segmentation techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel multi-atlas, multi-modal label fusion method for improved hippocampus segmentation in infant MR images.
  • To address the limitations of existing methods in handling the unique challenges of infant brain imaging.
  • To enhance the accuracy of anatomical structure segmentation in pediatric neuroimaging.

Main Methods:

  • A novel hypergraph-based label propagation method was proposed, incorporating voxels from target and atlas images as vertices.
  • Hyperedges encoded high-order correlations based on feature affinity, spatial coherence, and population heuristics across multi-modal data.
  • A self-supervising mechanism allowed reliable voxels to guide the labeling of difficult-to-label voxels until unanimous labeling was achieved.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated improved labeling accuracy for hippocampus segmentation compared to state-of-the-art methods.
  • Segmentation was evaluated on T1 and T2 weighted MR images from infants aged 2 weeks to 12 months.
  • The approach showed significant advancements in handling the complexities of infant brain MR image segmentation.

Conclusions:

  • The novel hypergraph-based label fusion method offers a robust solution for accurate hippocampus segmentation in infant MR images.
  • This technique shows great potential for advancing research in early infant brain development and the diagnosis of neurological disorders.
  • The proposed method effectively overcomes the challenges posed by appearance changes and low contrast in infant brain imaging.
