Chan-Vese Reformulation for Selective Image Segmentation.
Selective segmentation involves incorporating user input to partition an image into foreground and background, by discriminating between objects of a similar type. Typically, such methods involve introducing additional...
Validation of Performance Homogeneity of Chan-Vese Model on Selected Tumour Cells
This study aims to analyze the Chan-Vese model's performance using a variety of tumor images. The processes involve the tumors' segmentation, detecting the tumors, identifying the segmented tumor region, and extracting the...
The ‘ownership’ of science
C Rhodes, J Harris, S Chan, J Sulston
Aug 10, 2017
Dr Catherine Rhodes is a research fellow at the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation specialising in the international regulations relevant to control of biotechnology. Professor John Harris is director of the Institute...
Prenatal and birth predictors of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in three population-based birth cohorts in Brazil.
Physical inactivity is a global pandemic with no signs of improvement. Prolonged sitting time is an emerging risk factor that exacerbates the health consequences of physical inactivity. Both behaviours are influenced by various...

Piezoelectric Material-Polymer Composite Porous Foam for Efficient Dye Degradation via the Piezo-Catalytic Effect

Piezoelectric nanomaterials have been utilized to realize effective charge separation for degrading organic pollutants in water under the action of mechanical vibrations. However, in particulate form, the nanostructured...

Controversial Issues in Arthroscopic Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of painful hip in the young and middle-aged population. This condition frequently leads to a labral tear, damage of acetabular cartilage, and secondary arthritis of the hip....
Wireless Monitoring of Small Strains in Intelligent Robots via a Joule Heating Effect in Stretchable Graphene–Polymer Nanocomposites

Flexible strain sensors are an important component for future intelligent robotics. However, the majority of current strain sensors must be electrically connected to a corresponding monitoring system via conducting wires...

A coupled photo-piezo-catalytic effect in a BST-PDMS porous foam for enhanced dye wastewater degradation

Over the last decade, ferro-/piezo-electric materials have provided new directions to improve catalysis. However, current challenges that must be solved include secondary pollution by the piezoelectric particulates and a...

Targeted fluorescence imaging enhanced by 2D materials

Here we demonstrate that 2D MoS2 can enhance the receptor-targeting and imaging ability of a fluorophore-labelled ligand. The 2D MoS2 has an enhanced working concentration range when compared with...

Engaging in English Speaking Teaching Based on a Task-Based Approach
Ling Ding
Dec 20, 2018
In this article, the author reports, in a narrative style, details of teaching speaking in experiential learning with a Syrian woman, and the author’s perceptions of applying a role play task-based approach. It has been widely...
Enhancing joint reconstruction and segmentation with non-convex Bregman iteration

All imaging modalities such as computed tomography, emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging require a reconstruction approach to produce an image. A common image processing task for applications that utilise those...
