    Medical Image Fusion Based on Anisotropic Diffusion and Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform

    Bhawna Goyal1,*, Ayush Dogra2, Rahul Khoond1, Dawa Chyophel Lepcha1, Vishal Goyal3, Steven L. Fernandes4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.1, pp. 311-327, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038398 - 08 June 2023

    Abstract The synthesis of visual information from multiple medical imaging inputs to a single fused image without any loss of detail and distortion is known as multimodal medical image fusion. It improves the quality of biomedical images by preserving detailed features to advance the clinical utility of medical imaging meant for the analysis and treatment of medical disorders. This study develops a novel approach to fuse multimodal medical images utilizing anisotropic diffusion (AD) and non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). First, the method employs anisotropic diffusion for decomposing input images to their base and detail layers to coarsely… More >

    Research and Development of a Brain-Controlled Wheelchair for Paralyzed Patients

    Mohammad Monirujjaman Khan1,*, Shamsun Nahar Safa1, Minhazul Hoque Ashik1, Mehedi Masud2, Mohammed A. AlZain3

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.30, No.1, pp. 49-64, 2021, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2021.016077 - 26 July 2021

    Abstract Smart wheelchairs play a significant role in supporting disabled people. Individuals with motor function impairments due to some disorders such as strokes or multiple sclerosis face frequent moving difficulties. Hence, they need constant support from an assistant. This paper presents a brain-controlled wheelchair model to assist disabled and paralyzed patients. The wheelchair is controlled by interpreting Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, also known as brain waves. In the EEG technique, an electrode cap is positioned on the user’s scalp to receive EEG signals, which are detected and transformed by the Arduino microcontroller into motion commands, which drive More >

    Impact of Electricity Shortages on Productivity: Evidence from Manufacturing Industries

    Xinhong Xue1, Zhongcheng Wang2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.118, No.4, pp. 995-1008, 2021, DOI:10.32604/EE.2021.014613 - 31 May 2021

    Abstract Electricity shortages present a significant constraint on manufacturers, who rely on electricity as an important input into production. In China, electricity supply has been growing rapidly. However, the rapid industrialization sometimes makes the power supply still unable to meet the demand. Using a survey of 1673 Chinese manufacturing firms, this paper explores how firms response to electricity shortages and its impact on productivity. We find that self-generation of electricity and investment in Research and Development (R&D) have significant positive relationships with electricity shortages. Further investigations reveal that self-generation is the most common way to deal… More >

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LOOP HEAT PIPE – A REVIEW

    Hao Guoa , Xianbing Jia,b,1 , Jinliang Xua,b

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.14, pp. 1-16, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.14.14

    Abstract With fast development of electronic devices, novel strategies of thermal management have been received great attention to dissipate high heat fluxes. As an efficient heat transfer device, loop heat pipe (LHP) provides ideal solution for such purpose. Even though LHP was invented nearly half-century ago, challenges still exist on its design, fabrication and operation. The objective of this paper is to present a thorough review on LHPs, paying more attention on the working principle, advantage and configuration. The review is performed in three aspects. First, the macroscopic operation characteristics such as start-up, temperature fluctuations and More >
