Improving landscapes by adding additional resources to landscapes is an important initiative to restore habitats. Such improvements will be particularly important to promote species recovery in fragmented landscapes and to understand as well as facilitate range-shifting for species (also called an invasion). We use a recent method to approximate the time taken by species to invade landscapes and reach the new areas of suitable environment, which based on network flow theory. Based on this, we propose and test a new method that can help to compute the best locations in landscapes in order to restore habitat which leads to minimising the expected time taken by species to invade and reach targets. The new optimisation method has been compared with other two baseline methods. The evaluation conducted using real heterogeneous landscapes shows that the proposed method outperforms the competitive baseline methods in terms of proposing landscape modifications that minimise the expected time of the invasion process.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380126","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}

Therefore, the objective of this paper is to assess the contact pressure changes during series of dynamic postures such as slow walking, normal walking, fast walking, descending stairs and ascending stairs. A standard anatomical model is built from CT images and twenty kinematical models are constructed using a motion capture system. A two-step adjusted-iterative closest point method is proposed to register the anatomical model with the motion capture recorded kinematical model. After the registration, acetabular cartilage contact pressure is analyzed by a finite element method. According to simulation results among twenty subjects, the contact pressure distribution of walking and stairs movements are mostly uniform during a cycle of movement. The peak of contact pressure appears at the transition location from superior to posterior. The peak of contact pressure happens almost at the time of heel-strike. The contact area is changing from anterior to superior-posterior and ending at anterior for all the activities. These results demonstrate the trends for normal hip contact pressure in cartilage during daily activities. These results also provide guidance for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis. The location at transition from superior to posterior should be paid more attention in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis. And the osteoarthritis patient should try to avoid the movement of ascending and descending stairs.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126143999","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}

Hence, 4D Flow MRI has emerged as an important medical diagnostic tool for evaluation of blood flow alteration in the heart chambers and great vessels. A critical requirement for accurate quantification and visualization of blood flow within the different heart chambers (e.g. the left ventricle (LV)) is the accurate anatomical context of cardiac chambers, which is missing in the 4D Flow MRI data. To tackle this problem, recent studies have proposed fusing the 4D Flow data with a complementary anatomical MRI scan (short axis 3D (multiple 2D slices) cine SSFP) through registration. However, since image registration is a non-linear optimization problem, the registration is slow and may not be accurate (e.g. the left ventricle can be incorrectly aligned to the right ventricle). To improve the registration performance and accuracy, localization techniques can be used. In this paper, we propose two sketch-based methods for effective localization of 4D Flow MRI to 3D cine MRI registration. We evaluate these methods and compare them with other localization methods.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115316152","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}

However, it is well-known that CNNs require huge amounts of tagged images and resources to train and work well, and some prior works on cancer grading also achieved top accuracy by analyzing how cancer affects structures, such as cells, in terms of variability of characteristics. The aim of this work is to compare CNN-based classification of medical images with automated analysis of multiple structures. This is done experimentally, by implementing the alternatives and comparing classification accuracy on a public cancer grading dataset. The results show that a well-designed automated analysis of structures improved accuracy by 4% when compared with the best CNN result, showing that it is worth to study further and establish procedures based on that analysis.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121908433","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 main concept of using magnetic levitation for drug delivery is to deliver the drug to a specific point via magnetic actuation and imaging technique, magnetic material encoated by drug can rupture the artery by getting strongly attracted towards externally applied magnetic field. By taking magnetically levitated drug to the targeted area, it will minimize the risk of rupturing of the artery. Dispersion of drug will be minimized as drug-coated core will be under influence of applied electromagnetic field, drug can be released by altering electromagnetic fields. In this study, one-dimensional (1D) force system is used. Two forces counter each other i.e. electromagnetic force and gravitational force. Addition of Ki to Kp and Kd speeds up the motion when reaching to the targeted set point, blob stays in levitated condition around the set point thus stability is increased by the addition of Ki but oscillation are still present that hinders the stability of the system. Exponential function is introduced to decrease the power of Kp, in result, it supplies the power when the error is large, power gets zero when error is reduced to zero. In this stable system, Kp and Kd gain are applied to minimize the oscillations and keep the blob levitated at targeted set point.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"13 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132398502","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}
