Several equations are derived to observe the number of back-off periods required by high, medium, and low traffic BAN Nodes (BNs). Numerical results show that CSMA/CA mechanism is not suitable for medium and low traffic BNs, and high traffic BNs encounter heavy collision problems. This suggests the use of a TDMA-based solution that can solve a range of problems including traffic heterogeneity and correlation problems.","PeriodicalId":6389,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89740415","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}

This study try to explore the dynamic bladder storing process and understand the change of bladder shape and intra-vesical volume under the specific conditions of water-drinking using reconstructed three-dimension (3D) bladder models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 3T GE MRI system was used to acquire bladder images while storing in the transverse section. Segmentation of the bladder MRI Image, 3D model reconstruction, and volume measurement in different scan phases were performed with Mimics software. The results showed that the bladder varied from small bowl-like shape to irregular ellipsoid during urinary store. The increase in bladder volume was nonlinear under the specific conditions of water-drinking. The diameter change of the bladder in different directions was inconsistent during urinary store.","PeriodicalId":6389,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89517665","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 novel designed algorithm based on wavelet transform (WT) is developed. For some pulse waveforms, characteristic points exactly correspond to the zero-crossing of a wavelet with one vanishing moment, while the others incompletely correspond to. And characteristic points also correspond to the local extrema of a wavelet with two vanishing moment. So an algorithm combining a wavelet with one vanishing moment and another one with two vanishing moment is used to improve the detection rate of characteristic points. The results show that automatic identification of characteristics points has a high rate of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6389,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87589241","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}

It is often the case that thousands of features in a genome-wide data set are tested against null hypotheses, where only a small number of features are expected to be significant. The empirical Bayesian method (EB) is one of the most powerful methods to address such an issue, which has attracted much attention in literature. Here we propose an altered EB method, which is more robust and gives a more reasonable statistical interpretation. Our method is applied on both simulated and real data, and it outperforms the EB method.","PeriodicalId":6389,"journal":{"name":"2009 2nd International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87806619","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}

Second, one sample t-test and the factor analysis are used to estimate the tumor and normal isoforms for each suspect carcinogenic gene, respectively.
