Factors affecting the performance of the fuzzy controller are analyzed, and parameters that need to be adjusted to optimize the controller are determined as well. Finally, in this paper, an experiment is conducted to compare the performance of a PID controller and the adaptive fuzzy PID controller, which testifies that after using the adaptive fuzzy PID control method, the heating and cooling rate, the overshoot and the accuracy have all been improved significantly, and this adaptive fuzzy control method can satisfy the demand of PCR temperature control.","PeriodicalId":163211,"journal":{"name":"2013 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131307884","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 primer extension cycles and ligation reaction would give three sets of fluorescent signals. By combining the three set of fluorescent signals, each mutations could be discriminated with great accuracy. The results demonstrated that all the mutation sites were discriminated with great accuracy. This method had the potential in simultaneous discriminating various SNPs in a microarray as long as a set of combinations of labeled/unlabeled nucleotides were designed appropriately.

The correlation value between frames is proportional to area change of the small bowel and the temporal area change can be used as a measure of the small bowel contraction movement. In the conventional two-dimensional zero-mean normalized correlation (2D-ZNCC) method, only frame A and frame B are used for calculation of correlation between frame A and frame B. Since a complex shape change of the intestine is irregular, it was difficult to detect contraction movement. In order to solve this problem, we propose to use 3D ZNCC, in which sequence frames are used for correlation calculations instead of single frame. Since not only spatial changes, but also temporal changes are included, we can detect the contraction movement correctly. Experimental results show that our method is better than conventional method.","PeriodicalId":163211,"journal":{"name":"2013 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":"449 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133564571","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}

Cell reprogramming is remarkable for its potential to impact research and therapies because induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are similar to embryo stem (ES) cells in many aspects so that they are suitable substitute for ES cells. Since distinct gene expression pattern is one of the most important features of specific cell state, we analyze the relationship between gene expression and the cell state. In this paper, we chose human ES cells, iPS cells, and fibroblasts to compare. Our results show that iPS cells have an ES cell-like expression pattern and suggest that those genes which have distinct expression intensities in different cell states perform significant function in cell fate regulation. What's more, genome-wide occupancy maps have revealed the correlation between the ectopic expression factors and the gene expression intensities.","PeriodicalId":163211,"journal":{"name":"2013 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114299344","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 solve this problem, a novel phase-based active contour (PBAC) model is proposed. First, we utilize the local phase information and apply the phase asymmetry approach to form a new edge indicator, which dramatically increases the robustness to intensity inhomogeneous. Then, a novel phase-based edge indicator is incorporated into a various level set formulation with the local region-based segmentation energy. Experiments are performed on both synthetic and real BUS images.
