Optimising MRI small bowel techniques

Clinical Radiology, 2019
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based techniques have emerged as the preferred technique for the diagnostic evaluation of the small intestine, particularly in the adult population. The lack of ionising radiation makes MRI ideal for use in younger patients or in cases that require repeated follow-up investigations. Imaging of the small intestine may be

A structural optimisation technique

Computer-Aided Design, 1970
Abstract A purpose-built optimisation technique is developed for a class of structural design problems. The method was developed because of difficulties encountered in the application of standard nonlinear optimisation techniques. The ideas are illustrated by the economic design of a simply supported pre-stressed concrete beam.

Power System Optimisation using Ant Lion Optimisation Technique

2019 3rd International conference on Electronics, Communication and Aerospace Technology (ICECA), 2019
In many recent papers, to solve optimization problem Ant Lion Optimization(ALO) technique is used. ALO is in vogue as it is nature inspired and based on hunting mechanism of the ants. In the same manner, ALO is used in electrical engineering to solve most complex problem of load dispatch.

Optimisation techniques in vaginal cuff brachytherapy

The British Journal of Radiology, 2009
The aim of this study was to explore whether an in-house dosimetry protocol and optimisation method are able to produce a homogeneous dose distribution in the target volume, and how often optimisation is required in vaginal cuff brachytherapy. Treatment planning was carried out for 109 fractions in 33 patients who underwent high dose rate iridium-192 ...

Review and optimisation of foot radiography technique

Radiography, 2021
Radiography is an important tool in the diagnosis of trauma and diseases of the foot. Consistent image quality and anatomical appearances are essential to ensure that images are interpreted correctly and this study aims to evaluate current technique and use anthropomorphical phantoms in order to investigate the most optimal radiographic technique.A two

On Portfolio Optimisation Techniques

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
Executive Summary Here we look at alternative equity index weightings to ‘Market Capitalisation Weighting’ to see whether the expected theoretical improvement given by Portfolio Optimisation Techniques are realised in practice. We introduce a new portfolio weighting measure, called ‘Constrained Inverse Beta’, which is simple to implement and ...

Heuristic Techniques in Optimisation

2017
These approaches can be useful when the problem to be solved is large and/or complex, when a timely good solution is considered to be better than a late optimal solution.

Optimising cryosurgery technique.

Australian family physician, 2017
Cryosurgery is an effective, simple and inexpensive treatment used extensively in general practice and dermatology. It is used most commonly for actinic keratoses and warts; however, a large number of benign, premalignant and malignant skin diseases can also be treated.The objective of this article is to help readers improve their cryosurgery technique.
