The improved Graham method is adopted to estimate the life loss of dam failure. The Gongming reservoir in Shenzhen city is taken as a case study. The calculated life loss is between 7970 to 10504 in the situation of no warning and very fuzzy public comprehension degree which is extremely serious; between 2031 to 3395 in the situation of no warning and very clear public comprehension degree; between 1335 to 2217 in the situation of full warning and very fuzzy public comprehension degree; and between 5 to 13 in the situation of full warning and very clear public comprehension degree. The results indicates that warning and public comprehension degree have a great impact on life loss. Research results can offer decision basis for accident warning and disaster prevention and reduction.","PeriodicalId":6430,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"71 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75980856","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 space mapping deformation method has been successfully applied on some preparation, which can guarantee the surface matching smoothness and keep the main anatomical features of teeth.","PeriodicalId":6430,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73517788","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}

And the result is compared with that of the classical least square regression. The result shows that, under different quantiles, the linear trend of the annual maximum sea level related with time and Southern Oscillation Index is different, and pantile regression can provide much more information than the classical least square regression.

Ten patients suspected of coronary artery disease undergoing 64-slice computed tomography scans were included in the study. Four main coronary artery branches including right coronary artery, left main stem, left anterior descending and left circumflex were assessed using virtual intravascular endoscopy with emphasis on the intraluminal appearance of coronary plaques (calcified and noncalcified plaques). Position of the plaques and degree of vessel stenosis was compared with 2D axial images in each patient. Coronary artery disease with >50% stenosis was found in 6 patients involving 7 left anterior descending and 3 right coronary artery branches. Left anterior descending branch was commonly affected with extensive calcification, while more than half of the right coronary arteries were involved with noncalcified plaques. Our results showed that virtual intravascular endoscopy provides unique information of the coronary plaques by demonstrating the intraluminal configuration of coronary plaques, position of the plaques in relation to the artery branches. Both calcified and noncalcified plaques can be identified on virtual endoscopy images. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of virtual intravascular endoscopy in the quantification of plaque volume, stratification of patients suffering from coronary artery disease and patients management.","PeriodicalId":6430,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73242261","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}
