Effect of radiosynoviorthesis on the progression of arthropathy and haemarthrosis reduction in haemophilic patients.
2017
IntroductionRepeated haemarthrosis is widely accepted as the triggering cause of synovitis and haemophilic arthropathy. A first-line treatment of chronic synovitis is radiosynoviorthesis (RS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the RS effects on the progression of arthropathy and on a reduction in bleeding in patients with haemophilia. MethodsAn observational-retrospective study was performed. Bleeding episodes in the 12months following and in the 12months preceding RS was compared. The arthropathy was clinically and radiologically analysed by age range, joint and subject, comparing those undergoing RS (Radiosynoviorthesis Group, RSG) against those not undergoing this treatment (Non-Radi…
Dosimetria tramite Risonanza Elettronica di Spin (ESR) in Electron Intra-Operative RadioTherapy (IORT): misure di Output Factor e simulazioni Monte C…
2016
La Radioterapia IntraOperatoria (IORT) È una modalità di trattamento in cui una singola dose di radiazioni è impartita direttamente al letto tumorale o al tumore durante l'intervento chirurgico, evitando di colpire i tessuti sani circostanti. Nel caso di irraggiamento alla mammella, una singola frazione di 21 Gy impartita al volume neoplastico durante la procedura chirurgica è equivalente ad una dose totale di 60 Gy che solitamente viene somministrata con la radioterapia frazionata. Questo lavoro riporta il confronto tra la risposta ESR di dosimetri di alanina e di camere a ionizzazione Markus per le misurazioni degli Output Factor (OF) di fasci di elettroni prodotti da un acceleratore line…
A concise review on pseudo-bosons, pseudo-fermions and their relatives
2017
We review some basic definitions and few facts recently established for $\D$-pseudo bosons and for pseudo-fermions. We also discuss an extended version of these latter, based on biorthogonal bases, which lives in a finite dimensional Hilbert space. Some examples are described in details.
Applications of Harten’s Framework for Multiresolution: From Conservation Laws to Image Compression
2002
We briefly review Harten’s framework for multiresolution decompositions and describe two situations in which two different instances of the general framework have been used with success.
Optimal extension of multispectral image demosaicking algorithms for setting up a one-shot camera video acquisition system
2022
Multispectral images are acquired using multispectral cameras equipped with CCD or CMOS sensors which sample the visible or near infrared spectrum according to specific spectral bands. A mosaic of multispectral MSFA filters is superimposed on the surface of the sensors to acquire a raw image called an MSFA image. In the MSFA image, only one spectral band is available per pixel, the demosaicking process is necessary to estimate the multispectral image at full spatio-spectral resolution. Motivated by the success of single-sensor cameras capturing the image in a single exposure that use CFA filters, we performed a comparative study of a few recent color image demosaicking algorithms and experi…
Biorthogonal Wavelet Transforms
2015
Wavelets in the polynomial and discrete spline spaces were introduced in Chaps. 8 and 10, respectively. In both cases, the wavelets’ design and implementation of the transforms were associated with perfect reconstruction (PR) filter banks. In this chapter, those associations are discussed in more detail. Biorthogonal wavelet bases generated by PR filter banks are investigated and a few examples of compactly supported biorthogonal wavelets are presented. Conditions for filters to restore and annihilate sampled polynomials are established (discrete vanishing moment property). In a sense, the material of this chapter is introductory to Chap. 12, where splines are used as a source for (non-spli…
An improved MSD-based method for PD pattern recognition
2007
In this paper a new method for multi source partial discharge (PD) pattern recognition by discrete wavelet transform, is presented. The proposed method is based on the application of multi-resolution signal decomposition (MSD) technique applied to a 3D PD pattern image. The multi-resolution technique has shown that some detail images (horizontal, vertical and diagonal) at different decomposition levels have frequencial characteristics typical of a single discharge phenomenon. By applying this method to a double-source PD pattern it is observed that one source prevails on the other. Taking advantage from the linearity of the biorthogonal wavelet functions by using a removal and reconstructio…
Generalized Riesz systems and quasi bases in Hilbert space
2019
The purpose of this article is twofold. First of all, the notion of $(D, E)$-quasi basis is introduced for a pair $(D, E)$ of dense subspaces of Hilbert spaces. This consists of two biorthogonal sequences $\{ \varphi_n \}$ and $\{ \psi_n \}$ such that $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \ip{x}{\varphi_n}\ip{\psi_n}{y}=\ip{x}{y}$ for all $x \in D$ and $y \in E$. Secondly, it is shown that if biorthogonal sequences $\{ \varphi_n \}$ and $\{ \psi_n \}$ form a $(D ,E)$-quasi basis, then they are generalized Riesz systems. The latter play an interesting role for the construction of non-self-adjoint Hamiltonians and other physically relevant operators.
Biorthogonal Multiwavelets Originated from Hermite Splines
2015
This chapter presents multiwavelet transforms that manipulate discrete-time signals. The transforms are implemented in two phases: 1. Pre (post)-processing, which transforms a scalar signal into a vector signal (and back). 2. Wavelet transforms of the vector signal. Both phases are performed in a lifting way. The cubic interpolating Hermite splines are used as a predicting aggregate in the vector wavelet transform. Pre(post)-processing algorithms which do not degrade the approximation accuracy of the vector wavelet transforms are presented. A scheme of vector wavelet transforms and three pre(post)-processing algorithms are described. As a result, we get fast biorthogonal algorithms to trans…
Biorthogonal vectors, sesquilinear forms, and some physical operators
2018
Continuing the analysis undertaken in previous articles, we discuss some features of non-self-adjoint operators and sesquilinear forms which are defined starting from two biorthogonal families of vectors, like the so-called generalized Riesz systems, enjoying certain properties. In particular we discuss what happens when they forms two $\D$-quasi bases.
