With this prediction model, changes of SEP in correlation with non-surgical factors were estimated. Not only the prediction accuracy of SEP has been improved, but also provides the reliability of the classification.

We present a novel control scheme for automated cryo-EM data collection that monitors the quality of the data in real time and greatly improves the final efficiency of the acquisition. We propose the use of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) model to take decisions during the automated and sequential selection of hole areas in prefabricated EM grids. A new method based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models was successfully trained to classify previously detected single particles from acquired images. In the methodology FIS and ANFIS are used to model expert behavior. The method is validated in real-time cryo-EM data acquisition for single-particle approach of bacterial ribosomes.","PeriodicalId":348918,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115021746","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}

A good balance evaluation method is therefore quite important and center of pressure (CoP) trajectories measured by a laboratory based force platform (FP) is considered as a gold standard for balance assessment despite its expensive and complicated setup process. This paper investigates the reliability and sensitivity on the CoP measures in healthy young adults using Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) which is a cheaper solution to this problem. Two main parameters used in this study are the mean CoP path velocity (the summation of all the distance between adjacent CoP points, divided by the used time) and the mean absolute CoP sway distance (the mean distance between the CoP point and the mean value of (x, y) (virtual center)), from CoP trajectories (x, y) information. An experiment for acquiring CoP data through WBB was designed and 16 participants were recruited to perform the balance test during quiet standing in two and single leg, under eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. Paired t-test was performed and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated in the statistics analysis. The experiment results showed good reliability and sensitivity of WBB in this test.","PeriodicalId":348918,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132860929","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}

Traditional algorithms regard the target position as a non-random parameter and employ estimators like least squares (LS) or maximum likelihood (ML) to estimate the target location. In this paper, we propose a new framework for target localization using AOA measurements. The idea of this framework is to treat the unknown position as a random vector and then use the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) criterion to obtain an estimator that sequentially fuses the AOA measurements from multiple sensors. The key difficulty of this criterion is how to determine the prior first two moments of the unknown location. This is tackled by pseudo-linear least squares (PLS), which is verified to be perfectly credible through three credibility measures. Extensive numerical examples show that the PLS initialized sequential estimator outperforms the existing PLS and its root-mean-square error (RMSE) is close to the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) in most cases.","PeriodicalId":348918,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114216698","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 majority of existing works however consider a 2D plane and the results can not be applied to the 3D cases directly due to the addition of a new dimension. In this paper, we investigate the deployment efficiency problem in a random 3D WSN in term of over-provisioning rate and node demanding rate for application-specific partial α sensing coverage. We approach the problem through an integrated framework using mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, and simulation validation. We show that there exists a critical sensing coverage (α = 0.9) below which the over provisioning rate increases gradually and above which the over-provisioning rate increases very rapidly. For example, 130% more sensors will be required to achieve 5% increase in the sensing coverage when the base coverage reaches 0.9. Further, the node demanding rate increases sharply even for a small extent of sensing coverage improvement when the base coverage is beyond 0.9. Simulation results match with the numerical results and validate the modeling, analysis, and conclusions. This work identifies the benefits of employing application-tolerable partial sensing coverage and provides insights into the deployment and implementation of 3D sensor networks for practical reference.","PeriodicalId":348918,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114419775","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}
