These low dose projection images should become processed using mathematical methods, to reconstruct tomographic images, resulting in a 3D representation of the imaged breast. In tomosynthesis imaging, out-of-focus slice blur problem arises due to incomplete sampling problem. Several approaches have been suggested to deal with this problem. The purpose of this work is to implement Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) and Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (MART) which are kind of that approach. Former studies addressed largely 2D tomosynthesis image reconstruction problem. In this study, a 3D phantom model was used. All of the algorithms and experiments are programmed with C++. The differences between two reconstruction algorithms are also investigated by means of comparing root mean square error (RMSE) and mean structural similarity (MSSIM).","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124854920","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}

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a form of multicarrier modulation, has been widely applied in wireless communication systems for major advantages. In order to obtain channel state information, and overcome multipath fading channel estimation must be performed in these systems. The channel estimation quality significantly depends on the pilot pattern. In this study, the relationship between the optimum pilot symbol interval that yields the minimum channel estimation mean squared error and coherence bandwidth, coherence time at 0,9 correlation is investigated in OFDM systems for different time and frequency selective channels. Different curve fitting methods are applied to data and performances are compared in terms of normalized root mean squared errors (NRMSE). Considering both simplicity and NRMSE; the optimum pilot symbol interval is calculated by cubic polynomial in frequency direction, and by quadratic polynomial in time direction.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121053883","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}

Mainlobe power constrained sidelobe suppression is formulated as a convex RSDP (Relaxed Semidefinite Program). Solution to resultant RSDP is obtained by ADMM (Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers) technique, which can handle designs for arrays with number of elements is significantly larger than that can be handled by other convex solvers such as CVX. In addition, although the available convex solvers can not provide a rank-1 solution matrix, a rank-1 solution matrix is obtained by modifying the ADMM iterations. In the conducted experiments, it is observed that proposed ADMM based method can achieve more than 10dB improvement in sidelobe levels compared to alternative techniques.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125034670","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}

Recent evidence has shown that miRNA mutations or mis-expression correlate with various human cancers and indicates that miRNAs can function as tumour suppressors and oncogenes. MicroRNAs have been shown to repress the expression of important cancer-related genes and might prove useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In this study, hierarchical microRNA clusters are obtained through microarray expression data in order to analyze the microRNA prostate cancer relationships. Clustering results are evaluated by their biological relevance. It is seen that such approach can be useful in detectitn relationships between microRNAs and diseases.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115035084","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}
