SA-GAN: Structure-Aware GAN for Organ-Preserving Synthetic CT Generation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In medical image synthesis, model training could be challenging due to the inconsistencies between images of different modalities even with the same patient, typically caused by internal status/tissue changes as different modalities are usually obtained at a different time.

Self-organized criticality in deterministic systems with disorder [PDF]
Phys. Rev E 57, 6451 (1998), 1997 Using the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution as our paradigm, we investigate in which cases noise can be substituted with a deterministic signal without destroying Self-Organized Criticality (SOC). If the deterministic signal is chaotic the universality class is preserved; some non-universal features, such as the threshold, depend on the time ...

Fertility preservation in ovarian tumours [PDF]
, 2018 A considerable number of patients with a cancer diagnosis are of childbearing age and have not satisfied their desire for a family. Despite ovarian cancer (OC) usually occurring in older patients, 3%–14% are diagnosed at a fertile age with the overall 5 ...

TRADE: TRusted Anonymous Data Exchange: Threat Sharing Using Blockchain Technology [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, introducing significant challenges for organizations to protect their systems and data from threat actors. Today, threat actors are highly motivated, persistent, and well-founded and operate in a coordinated manner to commit a diversity of attacks using various sophisticated tactics ...

Self-Organizing Time Map: An Abstraction of Temporal Multivariate Patterns [PDF]
Neurocomputing 99(1) (2013), pp. 496-508, 2012 This paper adopts and adapts Kohonen's standard Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for exploratory temporal structure analysis. The Self-Organizing Time Map (SOTM) implements SOM-type learning to one-dimensional arrays for individual time units, preserves the orientation with short-term memory and arranges the arrays in an ascending order of time.

Organ preservation strategies: Review of literature and their applicability in developing nations
South Asian Journal of Cancer, 2014 There has been a change in practice in locally advanced laryngopharyngeal cancers toward non-surgical treatment modalities. Although, there have been landmark trials pertinent to organ preservation, their applicability in developing nations is a topic of

Emergent properties of collective gene expression patterns in multicellular systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Multicellular organisms comprise a diverse collection of stable tissues built from different cell types. It remains unclear how large numbers of interacting cells can precisely coordinate their gene expression during tissue self-organization. We develop a generalized model of multicellular gene expression that includes intracellular and intercellular ...

Protective effects of the lazaroid U74500A and lidoflazine on liver preservation with UW solution [PDF]
, 1993 The effect of adding a 21-aminosteroid, U74500A, and a Ca2+ antagonist, lidoflazine, alone and together to UW solution was assessed in a rat liver preservation model.
