Porosity in Cement Paste01:18

Porosity in Cement Paste

465
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.
The balance of water to cement in the mix is...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Constraints and Statical Determinacy

1.0K
In structural engineering, the equilibrium of a system is not only determined by its equations of equilibrium but also with the help of constraints. Constraints refer to restrictions on the motion of a system. The proper combinations of constraints can minimize the total number of constraints needed to maintain a system in mechanical equilibrium. When this happens, the system is said to be statically determinate. For such systems, the unknown reaction supports can be estimated using equilibrium...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

5.9K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Vision
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Foetal head segmentation from ultrasound is crucial for prenatal diagnostics.
  • Challenges include low resolution, unclear boundaries, and data inconsistencies in semi-supervised learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an effective semi-supervised method for foetal head segmentation.
  • To address limitations of current segmentation techniques in prenatal ultrasound.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed MCPNet, a morphological constraint-based copy-paste network.
  • Incorporated score-guided morphological refinement (SMR) for boundary consistency.
  • Utilized copy-paste mixing augmentation (CPMA) to bridge labelled and unlabelled data gaps.

Main Results:

  • Achieved Dice scores of 93.72% on HC18 and 92.31% on PSFH benchmarks.
  • Demonstrated high performance using only 20% labelled data.

Conclusions:

  • MCPNet shows superior performance in foetal head segmentation.
  • The method holds significant clinical potential for prenatal examinations.
