The authors describe two approaches of segmentation. The first approach is based on support vector machine classification and the second on manual segmentation. Segmentation was performed on four types of images that have been derived from calculation of ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) map (Trace, Fraction Anisotropy, Volume Ratio, and Mean of All B0s). Segmented data was analyzed statistically to compare two researched approaches of segmentation. Additionally, the article investigates the most valuable type of processed images for detection and classification of pathologic tissue — tumor.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"327 1","pages":"1857-1861"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76141188","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}

Nowadays, metaheuristics are extensively used to solve optimization problems in all fields due to their simplicity and competitive performance. Competition Over Resource (COR) is a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by a natural phenomenon that is based on the competitive behavior of animal groups. In this paper, the COR algorithm is presented and then applied to optimize a magnetic actuator benchmark. The results obtained in the paper indicate that the COR algorithm is very competitive and therefore offers a reliable alternative method for the optimal design of magnetic actuators.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"150 1","pages":"584-588"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77436198","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}

Metasurface antenna can also achieve good performance of target detection based on beam-scanning. This is proved by the simulation in the situation of single point target where the distance, azimuth and elevation are detected by impulse compression operation.

Coconut shell is resulting waste of coconut milk industry that has high carbon content. This study aims to determine the maximum absorption of coconut shell activated carbon as well as the activation effect on coconut shell carbon. The carbon was prepared using carbonization and activated using KOH and HCl. These process aims to open the pores of carbon, so the absorbance of the active carbon is increased. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Vector Network Analysis (VNA) are operated in active carbon characterization. The electromagnetic properties of these RAMs were analyzed using the waveguide technique in the frequency range of 4 to 8GHz (C-Band). The VNA result showed maximum absorption of −19.5dB at thickness of 6mm with 1M HCl activator. The SEM images show the activated carbon has more pore than non-activated carbon. The single-layer RAMs exhibited behavior of satisfy absorbers in the frequency range studied. The result shows the reflectivity response of the carbon is satisfied as RAM in the investigating frequency.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"8 1","pages":"1536-1539"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81888770","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 analytical expression of the mutual coherence function of the HGCSM pulse propagating in a second-order dispersive media has been derived. The statistical properties, such as the intensity distribution and the temporal degree of coherence the spectral degree of coherence of a HGCSM pulse in dispersive media are illustrated numerically. It is demonstrated that the velocity of beam splitting can be manipulated by controlling the incident pulse duration, the initial temporal coherence length, the beam order m and the dispersion of the medium. It is also shown that the oscillations in the temporal degree of coherence profiles gradually intensify with increasing pulse duration of the incident pulse and beam order. With increasing second-order dispersion coefficient β2 and temporal coherence length of the incident pulse, the profiles of the temporal degree of coherence move towards the large value.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"397-407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84262106","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}

Instead, they would be able to charge them wirelessly. Moreover, the need of cost-effective end-to-end long-range WPT in a single package is emerging. Here, we propose design considerations for a cost-effective and power ã 70% efficient end-to-end system for a long-range WPT system via magnetic resonance (MR).
