AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF SMALL SPHERICAL LESIONS USING MULTISCALE APPROACH IN 3D MEDICAL IMAGES
2013
International audience; Automated detection of small, low level shapes such as circular/spherical objects in images is a challenging computer vision problem. For many applications, especially microbleed detection in Alzheimer's disease, an automatic pre-screening scheme is required to identify potential seeds with high sensitivity and reasonable specificity. A new method is proposed to detect spherical objects in 3D medical images within the multi-scale Laplacian of Gaussian framework. The major contributions are (1) breaking down 3D sphere detection into 1D line profile detection along each coordinate dimension, (2) identifying center of structures by normalizing the line response profile …
This, and This, and That
2021
More dependent clauses are discussed, and more surprising results emerge. The most important of these are that distinct clauses belonging to the same period can sometimes have an overlap, and that there are clauses that, though being neither interrogative nor imperative, are such that wondering about their truth value does not make sense.
VZYVANNJA TOPONIMU HORNICA U TEKSTACH RUSYNIV BACKY I SREMU V XX ST.
2021
In this research we will talk about the term Hornїca in the language of the Rusyns who live in modern Serbia and Croatia. The origin of the toponym is due to historical and geographical factors. During the twentieth century, the community used this toponym in texts of various genres to describe the territory of its origin in the Carpathian region. This toponym is used with other geographical names - in particular Zakarpattja, or outdated or archaic forms of Carpathian Ukraine and Subcarpathian Rus`. The toponym belongs to the categories of macrotoponyms and exonyms. The article analyses how and when the term appeared in the editions of Rusyns of Bačka and Syrmia, what were the dynamics of i…
Hexachlororhenate(IV) salts of ruthenium(III) cations: X-ray structure and magnetic properties
2012
Abstract Two novel rhenium(IV)–ruthenium(III) compounds of formulae [RuCl(NH3)5]2[ReCl6]Cl2 (1) and [RuCl2(en)2]2[ReCl6]·2CH3CN (2) (en = 1,2-ethylenediamine) have been prepared and characterized. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with C2/m as space group, whereas 2 crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P(−1). The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are made up of discrete [ReCl6]2− anions and [RuCl(NH3)5]2+ (1) or [RuCl2(en)2]+ (2) cations held together by N–H···Cl hydrogen bonds, van der Waals and electrostatic forces. The magnetic properties were investigated from susceptibility measurements per…
Hydrogen influence on the structure and properties of amorphous hydrogenated carbon films deposited by direct ion beam
2008
Abstract The present work provides results for amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) films grown by direct ion beam deposition method. Acetylene and its mixtures with hydrogen were used. The films were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, elastic recoil detection, Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, infrared spectroscopy, and microhardness measurements. These techniques indicated that an admixture of hydrogen yields a lower deposition rate, a higher content of total and bounded hydrogen in the a-C:H films, and a lower film density. The optical and mechanical properties depend on both, hydrogen concentrations in the gas phase and in the films, and show a strong diamond-like…
Stabilized Ru[(H2O)(6)](3+) in Confined Spaces (MOFs and Zeolites) Catalyzes the lmination of Primary Alcohols under Atmospheric Conditions with Wide…
2018
[EN] Imines are ubiquitous intermediates in organic synthesis, and the metal-mediated imination of alcohols is one of the most direct and simple methods for their synthesis. However, reported protocols lack compatibility with many other functional groups since basic supports/media, pure oxygen atmospheres, and/or released hydrogen gas are required during reaction. Here we show that, in contrast to previous metal-catalyzed methods, hexa-aqueous Ru(III) catalyzes the imination of primary alcohols with very wide functional group tolerance, at slightly acid pH and under low oxygen atmospheres. The inorganic metal complex can be supported and stabilized, integrally, within either faujasite-type …

Optical active centres in ZnO samples
2006
Abstract In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the interest in the use of ZnO (Eg ∼ 3.37 eV) as a material for a wide range of opto-emitter applications spanning visible and short wavelengths. Bulk, thin films and nanomaterials obtained using different synthesis methods have been investigated for optoelectronic and biotechnological device applications. Nominally undoped bulk samples typically present a myriad-structured near-band-edge recombination, mainly due to free/bound excitons and donor–acceptor pair transitions. Furthermore, deep level emission due to intrinsic defects and extrinsic impurities, such as transition metal ions, are commonly observed in different grades of bulk…
The Pyridyl Functional Groups Guide the Formation of Pd Nanoparticles Inside A Porous Poly(4-Vinyl-Pyridine)
2015
The reactivity of palladium acetate inside a poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-divinylbenzene) polymer is strongly influenced by the establishment of interaction between the Pd precursor and the pyridyl functional group in the polymer. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and simultaneous X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques have been applied to monitor the reactivity of palladium acetate in the presence of H-2 and CO as a function of temperature. H-2 reduces palladium acetate to Pd nanoparticles and acetic acid. The pyridyl groups in the polymer play a vital role both in stabilizing the formed acetic acid, thu…

[EN] Mesoporous silica microparticles capped with TTF moieties and containing a ruthenium dye in the pores were used for the turn-on optical detection of the nitroaromatic explosives Tetryl and TNT via a selective pore uncapping and release of the entrapped dye.
