Dimensionality reduction, i.e, attribute reduction is to delete some uncesserary attributes at rough sets. At present, many attribute reduction methods have provided to delete some superfluous and irrelevant attributes from large-scale complete data sets. The main drawback of most attribute reduction algorithms is that they can not remove some examples in the process of dimensionality reduction, which degrades a computational efficiency of attribute reduction. To overcome this drawback, an improved attribute reduction algorithm for complete data sets is proposed. In addition, the classification performance of attribute reduction is optimized. At first, the compact decision system is presented to delete some repeated objects. Then the significance measure of attributes is provided for candidate attributes. In addition, the novel approach of attribute reduction under the proposed significance measure of attributes was developed. In order to verify the efficiency of our given algorithm, the experiments on UCI datasets are performed by comparing with other attribute reduction algorithms. The results on the experiments tell us that our given algorithm obtains promising improvement for selecting an attribute reduct.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131290715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To implement different scatterer distributions representing a variable density of random scatterers with or without coherent component, A set of 3D scatterer models are built based on a three-dimensional Hilbert curve following Gamma distributions with different values of shape and scale parameters. The RF data are simulated by using the Field II software. Then the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for statistical histograms of the energy of the RF data is performed to obtain the values of log-likelihood and model parameters. In order to evaluate the fitting performance and parameter meaning of the HK distribution, the mean and standard deviation of these estimated values are compared with those based on the optimal fitting model chosen from commonly used single-distributions (OSD), the K, Rayleigh and Rician distributions. The results show the parameters of Homodyned K-distribution obtained by the MLE could independently represent the clustered, random or uniform characteristics for scatterer distribution. However, the fitting accuracy could only catch up with that based on the OSD joint model under the condition that the tissue contains the scatterers from medium to high effective-density, as well as deterministic or non-deterministic components. The OSD model is still a better choice in the case of the fitting performance emphasized in practice, especially the tissue with a wider range of scatterer densities and deterministic components.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132988076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features of the local binary pattern (LBP) for instance, usually lack global spatial information while global descriptors would provide very little local information. This paper proposes two different descriptors to circumvent these shortcomings by providing more information to describe different textural structures of the Emphysema computed tomography (CT) images. The proposed LBP+Multi-fractal Images (LMI) and the rotational invariant LBP+Multi-fractal Images (RLMI) can provide more accurate classification results by using a hybrid concatenation of the local and global features. The experimental approaches are validated for different scales of Emphysema images during the classification process in order to determine the appropriate image size that could yield the maximum classification accuracy. The experimental results show that the descriptors extracted from the combined features considerably improve the performance of the classifiers. The results also indicate that the LMI descriptor outperforms the earlier approaches and demonstrate the discriminating power and robustness of the combined features for accurate classification of Emphysema CT images.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116096644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since drowsiness is strongly related to human brain, by assessing drowsiness using biological signal especially brain signal become the most promising approach to evaluate drowsiness. We proposed a study to investigate the relationship between drowsiness and physiological condition by employing electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and Japanese version of Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS-J) in driving simulator environment. The result showed alpha band power of EEG signal from occipital lobe in drowsy condition (KSS-J ≥ 7) increased significantly compared with that in alert condition (KSS-J <; 7) with P <; 0.001.

The effects of the two periodic forces on the cooperative transport behaviours of Brownian motors are investigated, including the frequencies and intensities. The results show that when the frequencies of periodic forces are all too large or too small, the directed transport of the motors system can't appear, and appropriate frequencies can promote the transport. Otherwise, with increasing the intensities of periodic forces, the directed transport is more and more obvious. In addition, the effect of a constant force is discussed. It is found that the constant force on the non ratchet potential can't offer effective energy for the directed transport of system, but the constant force on the ratchet potential can offer.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127338999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
