Edge detection via anisotropic average directional ratio (AADR) for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images produces unwanted and fragmentized edge pixels due to the speckle noise and sporadic highlight pixels from isolated strong scatterers in real scenes.In this paper, a novel robust edge detector is developed for SAR images.Anisotropic morphologic
Awake craniotomy is a gold standard of care for resection of brain tumors located within or close to the eloquent areas.Both asleep-awake-asleep technique and monitored anesthesia care have been used effectively for awake MINERAL craniotomy and the choice of optimal anesthetic approach is primarily based on the preferences of the anesthesiologist a
Abstract Background Plants produce secondary metabolites that often possess widespread bioactivity, Dresser and are then known as phytochemicals.We previously determined that several phytochemical-rich food-derived preparations were active against pathogenic foodborne bacteria.Trichomonads produce disease (trichomoniasis) in humans and in certain a
Recent studies have revealed that microbes play an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in various animal species, but only limited data is available about the microbiome in cats with GI disease.The aim of this study was to evaluate the fecal microbiome in cats with diarrhea.Fecal samples were obtained from healthy c
Motor Imagery EEG (MI-EEG) classification plays an important role in different Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems.Recently, deep learning has been widely used in the MI-EEG classification tasks, however this technology requires a large number of labeled training samples which are difficult to obtain, and insufficient labeled training samples wi
