Contour matching using the affine‐invariant support point set

IET Computer Vision, 2014
Moment has been widely used for contour matching. To use the moment to achieve contour matching under affine transformations, the affine‐invariant support point set (SPS) should be constructed first.

MODIFIED NLM MODEL FOR DESPECKLING ULTRASOUND IMAGES USING FCM CLUSTERING BASED PRE CLASSIFICATION AND RIBM [PDF]

ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2018
Speckle noise is an inherent characteristic of ultrasound which reduces the classification accuracy of computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. A modified non local means (NLM) filter for despeckling ultrasound images is proposed in this article.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Signal Generator Agnostic Moment Matching

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
We study the model-reduction problem by moment matching for linear and nonlinear systems in a data-driven setting. We show that reduced-order models can be directly computed from input–output data without requiring knowledge of the structure of the signal generator or its internal state.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

A revised moment error expression for the AIRGA algorithm

Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2018
The fully adaptive rational global Arnoldi method (AIRGA) for the modelorder reduction of second-order multi-input multi-output systems with proportional damping is revisited. The method automatically generates a reduced system approximating the transfer
