Electrochemical synthesis of carbazoles by dehydrogenative coupling reaction

2020

Abstract A constant current protocol, employing undivided cells, a remarkably low supporting electrolyte concentration, inexpensive electrode materials, and a straightforward precursor synthesis enabling a novel access to N‐protected carbazoles by anodic N,C bond formation using directly generated amidyl radicals is reported. Scalability of the reaction is demonstrated and an easy deblocking of the benzoyl protecting group is presented.

Blood vessel segmentation and width estimation in ultra-wide field scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

2014

Features of the retinal vasculature, such as vessel widths, are considered biomarkers for systemic disease. The aim of this work is to present a supervised approach to vessel segmentation in ultra-wide field of view scanning laser ophthalmoscope (UWFoV SLO) images and to evaluate its performance in terms of segmentation and vessel width estimation accuracy. The results of the proposed method are compared with ground truth measurements from human observers and with existing state-of-the-art techniques developed for fundus camera images that we optimized for UWFoV SLO images. Our algorithm is based on multi-scale matched filters, a neural network classifier and hysteresis thresholding. After …

Aktuelle Aufgaben der Informationsverarbeitung in der Frauenheilkunde

2000

Rapid development and innovative research in medical computer science influences physicians work. Not only new hardware but also network implementation changed the way of decision making techniques in medicine. The main reason for acceptance and distribution of the internet is the possibility to present information in a reasonable and contemporary way. A self-labeling of medical information by web authors and systematic critical appraisal of health-related internet information by third parties may help to filter harmful health information and to positively identify and select high quality information. The German Work Group for Information Technologies in Gynecology and Obstetrics (AIG) info…

Optimal design of viscoelastic tuned mass dampers for structures exposed to coloured excitations

2022

Dynamic interaction between primary and secondary structures can alter the response of buildings, bridges and other civil engineering structures to external stressors such as earthquakes and windstorms. TMDs (tuned mass dampers) are a well-known example of passive control devices that exploit this concept. A TMD consists of a secondary mass attached to the primary structure through a linear or nonlinear link. Various formulations exist to optimize the performance of TMDs, depending on the chosen criterion. Typically, the TMD is optimized considering the steady-state amplitude of motion of the primary structure, e.g., when subjected to monochromatic harmonic excitation (H∞ criterion) or whit…

Implementation of a new adaptive algorithm using fuzzy cost function and robust to impulsive noise

2012

Adaptive filters are used in a wide range of applications such as noise cancellation, system identification, and prediction. One of the main problems for theses filters is the impulsive noise as it generates algorithm unstability. This work shows the development, simulation and hardware implementation of a new algorithm robust to impulsive noise. Hardware implementation becomes essential in many cases where a real time execution, reduced size, or low power system is needed. An efficient hardware architecture is proposed and different optimizations for size and speed are developed: no need for control state machine, reduced computation requirements due to simplifications, etc. Furthermore, t…

Hidden oscillations in nonlinear control systems

2011

Abstract The method of harmonic linearization, numerical methods, and the applied bifurcation theory together discover new opportunities for analysis of hidden oscillations of control systems. In the present paper new analytical-numerical algorithm for hidden oscillation localization is discussed. Counterexamples construction to Aizerman's conjecture and Kalman's conjecture on absolute stability of control systems are considered.

3d mesh denoising using normal based myriad filter

2011

We propose a new filtering scheme for denoising of 3D objects which are represented by a triangular mesh. This scheme consists on applying myriad filter to face normals and then updating the vertices positions in order to preserve the original shape of the object. The choice of the Myriad is justified by the assumption of Cauchy distributed angles between surface normals. This filter improves the performance of a normal-based method which is adapted to the underlying mesh structure. To evaluate these methods of filtering, we use three error metrics. The first is based on the vertices, the second is based on the normals and the third is based on Hausdorff distance. Experimental results demon…

Multiwavelet Frames Originated From Hermite Splines

2015

The chapter presents a method for the construction of multiwavelet frame transform for manipulation of discrete-time signals. The frames are generated by three-channel perfect reconstruction oversampled multifilter banks. The design of the multifilter bank starts from a pair of interpolating multifilters, which originate from the cubic Hermite splines. The remaining multifilters are designed by factoring polyphase matrices. Input to the oversampled analysis multifilter bank is a vector-signal, which is derived from an initial scalar signal by one out of three pre-processing algorithms. The post-processing algorithms convert the vector output from the synthesis multifilter banks into a scala…
