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...

Genomic mapping of Suppressor of Hairy-wing binding sites in Drosophila.
Boris Adryan, Gertrud Woerfel, Ian Birch-Machin, Shan Gao, Marie Quick, Lisa Meadows, Steven Russell, Robert White
Mar 27, 2020
BACKGROUND: Insulator elements are proposed to play a key role in the organization of the regulatory architecture of the genome. In Drosophila, one of the best studied is the gypsy retrotransposon insulator, which is bound by...
High water vs. ad libitum water intake for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
R El-Damanawi, M Lee, T Harris, LB Cowley, S Bond, H Pavey, RN Sandford, IB Wilkinson, FE Karet Frankl, TF Hiemstra
Dec 02, 2020
BACKGROUND: Vasopressin stimulates cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and is a key therapeutic target. Evaluation of high water intake as an alternative to pharmacological vasopressin blockade is...

Dilatant normal faulting in jointed cohesive rocks
Dilatant faults often form in rocks containing pre-existing joints, but the effects of joints on fault segment linkage and fracture connectivity are not well understood. We present an analogue modeling study using cohesive...
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....

Climatic causes of maize production loss under global warming in Northeast China
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important staple crops in Northeast China, and yield losses are mainly induced by climate anomalies, plant diseases and pests. To understand how maize yield loss is affected by...

Sep 01, 2021
We report the growth, structural and magnetic properties of the less studied Eu-oxide phase, Eu3O4, thin films grown on a Si/SiO2 substrate and Si/SiO2/graphene using molecular beam epitaxy. The X-ray diffraction scans show that...
Influence of speed of sample processing on placental energetics and signalling pathways
INTRODUCTION: The placenta is metabolically highly active due to extensive endocrine and active transport functions. Hence, placental tissues soon become ischaemic after separation from the maternal blood supply. Ischaemia...
