▪ Abstract Cholesteric liquid crystals possess a helical structure and exhibit two stable states
at zero field: the planar texture and the focal conic texture. In the planar texture, they reflect …

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an effective tool used in determining disease
stage and lesion malignancy; however, radiation exposure to patients and technicians …

Background Early diagnosis and classification of infections increase the cure rate while
decreasing complications, which is significant for severe infections, especially for war surgery. …

It is shown, for an arbitrary function f(t), that if there exists a reversible function g(t) such that
g(f(t)) is band-limited, then f(t) can be uniquely determined in terms of its samples f(nT/sub s/) …

Sex hormone estrogen is one of the most active intrinsic angiogenesis regulators; its therapeutic
use has been limited due to its carcinogenic potential. Plant-derived phytoestrogens are …

Mutual-information maximization is one of the most popular algorithms for automatic image
registration. However, many implementation issues have not been evaluated in a single, …

An object-oriented framework for image registration, fusion, and visualization was developed
based on the classic model-view-controller paradigm. The framework employs many …

Cross-entropy (CE), an information-theoretic measure, quantifies the difference between two
probability density functions. This measure is applied to volume image registration. When a …

Traditional drug discovery programs are being transformed by the advent of machine learning
methods. Among these, Generative AI methods (GM) have gained attention due to their …

Rubbed polyimide films have been studied by atomic force microscopy from micrometer to
nanometer scales. On a large scale, oriented scratches and microstructures due to rubbing …
