“…Although a number of studies have described the use of advanced technologies in diagnosis and treatment [12] to [14], only a few studies have focused on improving the specificity of AFB [15] to [17]. In one study of the spectra of autofluorescent light, the authors added endoscopic optical spectroscopy to AFB to improve its specificity [17].…”

This paper presents a novel approach to the classification of bronchial tissue as either malignant or precancerous based on autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) images. The study consisted of 44 images, of which 22 were confirmed as malignant and 22 as nonmalignant precancerous cases. Our approach starts with the detection of a region of interest (ROI). This is followed by an analysis of semi-normal intensity distributions in gray-scale images of red and green components of the previously identified ROI. Based on the results of this analysis, features are computed, which are then used to build an image-classification model. This model classifies the tissue images into malignant/ nonmalignant classes. We utilized several classification algorithms, i.e., naive Bayes, K-nearest-neighbor (K-NN), and support vector machine (SVM) with dot kernel. The criteria used when testing their performance were accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve. Wilcoxon's signed-rank test was used to confirm the accuracy of the classification method. The proposed method was compared to a similar approach reported by Buountris et al., who analyzed the texture features in a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Using the bestperforming classification algorithm (SVM with dot kernel), the accuracy of the proposed approach (95.8 %) was better than that reported by Bountris et al. (92.1 %).

“…In many applications, there are usually a variety of monitoring objects in the surveillant area. For example, the sensor nodes need to monitor water temperature and salinity in water environmental monitoring, or the sensor nodes need to surveil a variety of chemical diffusions to provide early warnings about factory pollution [3,9,10,12,30].…”

In diverse application fields, the increasing requisitions of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have more and more research dedicated to the question of sensor nodes’ deployment in recent years. For deployment of sensor nodes, some key points that should be taken into consideration are the coverage area to be monitored, energy consumed of nodes, connectivity, amount of deployed sensors and lifetime of the WSNs. This paper analyzes the wireless sensor network nodes deployment optimization problem. Wireless sensor nodes deployment determines the nodes’ capability and lifetime. For node deployment in heterogeneous sensor networks based on different probability sensing models of heterogeneous nodes, the author refers to the organic small molecule model and proposes a molecule sensing model of heterogeneous nodes in this paper. DSmT is an extension of the classical theory of evidence, which can combine with any type of trust function of an independent source, mainly concentrating on combined uncertainty, high conflict, and inaccurate source of evidence. Referring to the data fusion model, the changes in the network coverage ratio after using the new sensing model and data fusion algorithm are studied. According to the research results, the nodes deployment scheme of heterogeneous sensor networks based on the organic small molecule model is proposed in this paper. The simulation model is established by MATLAB software. The simulation results show that the effectiveness of the algorithm, the network coverage, and detection efficiency of nodes are improved, the lifetime of the network is prolonged, energy consumption and the number of deployment nodes are reduced, and the scope of perceiving is expanded. As a result, the coverage hole recovery algorithm can improve the detection performance of the network in the initial deployment phase and coverage hole recovery phase.

“…Thus, CAD is today being intensively used in the biomedical industry -from the software for generation of virtual anatomical models, to the design of custom-made medical implants, to tissue and bone engineering [3,4]. Bearing in mind the complexity of human anatomy, this has been made possible primarily due to developments in the field of Reverse Engineering (RE) and systems for 3D-digitalization [5][6][7][8].…”

Personalized bone grafts are one of the best examples of the latest achievements in the biomedical engineering. In the area of maxillofacial bone tissue reconstruction or jaw bone augmentation, their application has for some time been on the rise, and its ever increasing significance is driven by the growing technical support. One of the key segments is the bone graft modelling customized to suit patient's specific needs, since it greatly determines not only the future anatomic functionality but also the acceptance probability of the graft by the bone tissue. With the graft geometry importance in mind, presented in this paper is an approach to personalized bone graft modelling. The approach is based on application of modern computer-aided systems and methods, and enables efficient geometric design while minimizing the risk of errors during modelling and placement stages. Verification is based on a case study of a personalized bone graft designed for a patient requiring mandible augmentation.
