A Novel Segmentation and Feedback Model for Resolving Contention in Optical Burst Switching

A novel segmentation and feedback model (SFM) applied to resolve contention is proposed. Simulation and performance analyses show that the SFM effectively avoids contentions in optical burst switching (OBS). The long delay time of deflection routing and the immature technology of wavelength converters and optical buffers are not deployed in the SFM. The SFM does not only realize fast switching but also allows preemption by higher priority bursts.     

Endoscopic Observation of Tissue by Narrowband Illumination

We propose a new illumination method for a medical endoscope: narrow band imaging (NBI), in which the spectral bandwidth of the filtered light is narrowed. To confirm how the spectral specifications of the filtered light influence a reproduced image, an experiment was conducted observing the endoscopic images of the back mucosa of a human tongue. In addition, the effect of NBI on endoscopic images was investigated through preliminary clinical tests in colonoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. It has been shown that NBI can enhance the capillary pattern and the crypt pattern on the mucosa. These patterns are useful features for diagnosing an early cancer.

Vessel Arrival Process and Queueing in Marine Ports Handling Bulk Materials

We study the vessel arrival process in bulk ports handling either cargo containers or minerals. Then we introduce the SHIP/G/1 queue to be able to study the queueing behavior at the port. We present approximations for the asymptotic probabilities of delay and the number of vessels at the port. Numerical examples show the accuracy of the approximations. In appendices, we provide details of the analysis of the number of vessels at the port and the correlation properties of the vessel arrival process.     

Image segmentation towards new image representation methods

Very low bit-rate video coding has recently become one of the most important areas of image communication and a large variety of applications have already been identified. Since conventional approaches are reaching a saturation point, in terms of coding efficiency, a new generation of video coding techniques, aiming at a deeper “understanding” of the image, is being studied. In this context, image analysis, particularly the identification of objects or regions in images (segmentation), is a very important step. This paper describes a segmentation algorithm based on split and merge. Images are first simplified using mathematical morphology operators, which eliminate perceptually less relevant details. The simplified image is then split according to a quad tree structure and the resulting regions are finally merged in three steps: merge, elimination of small regions and control of the number of regions.     

Momentum transfer in an agitated vessel with off-centred impellers

Momentum transfer was investigated in an unbaffled agitated vessel of inner diameter 0.3 m equipped with different off-centred impellers. The distribution of the shear rate on the tank wall as a function of the impeller type and Reynolds number was studied in the turbulent regime of the Newtonian liquid flow. The dependences of the averaged dimensionless shear rate, friction coefficient, and dissipated energy on the Reynolds number and eccentricity ratio were approximated using four-parameter equations.

Effects of Lead on Temporal Response Properties of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Developing Rats

Neonatal rats have taken in lead, during the period from their parturition to their weaning, from the milk of dams fed with water containing 0.2% lead acetate solutions. The alterations in the temporal response properties of retinal ganglion cells in adult rats (90 days) following the lead exposure at their developing stage have been studied. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the lead exposure in neonatal rats causes decreases in the optimal temporal frequency, bandwidth at half amplitude, temporal resolution and response phase of the retinal ganglion cells in adult rats. Compared with the sustained cells, the transient cells have a much greater alteration in temporal response properties.     

基于双解码路径DD-UNet的脑肿瘤图像分割算法

针对医学图像中病灶区域尺度不一、边界模糊和周围组织强度不均匀所导致的分割精度降低问题,提出了一种基于双解码器的脑肿瘤图像分割模型。为了增强特征的表征力,提出了高阶微分残差模块并使用不同空洞率的扩张卷积用于提取特征编码,提高了网络模型的分割性能;引入上下文语义信息感知模块(multi scale dilation, MSD),从不同的目标尺度中提取更多的精细信息,提高了对结构细节信息的捕获能力,同时减少了编解码器之间的特征差异;在空间解码路径中使用选择性聚合空间注意力模块(spatial aggregation attention module, SAAM),增加了对有效空间特征的权重比例,减少了无效的特征干扰。在脑肿瘤数据集上进行了实验验证,实验结果表明,所提算法的Dice系数、平均交并比、敏感性、特异性、准确率等指标分别为：93.35%、90.71%、91.15%、99.94%、96.75%。

针对前列腺磁共振 (magnetic resonance, MR)图像边缘模糊、对比度较低,灰度值分布不均衡而导致分割精度较差的问题,提出了一种结合双路径注意力(dual path attention,DPA) 和多尺度特征聚合(multi-scale feature aggregation,MFA) 模块的改进3D UNet网络模型。首先,对数据集进行重采样和裁剪处理以适应模型输入。然后,在3D UNet网络的编码器各层引入DPA 并添加残差连接,加强特征的 编码能力。同时,在网络解码器中加入MFA模块,以充分利用空间上下文信息,增强语义信息。最后,在公开数据集PROMISE12上进行验证,所提出的模型的Dice系数为89.90%,Hausdorff 距离为9.37 mm。相比较于其他模型,所提出模型的分割结果更优,且参数量和运算量更少。
