Signature verification using conic section function neural network
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2005)
This paper presents a new approach for off-line signature verification based on a hybrid neural network (Conic Section Function Neural Network-CSFNN). Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have recently become a very important ...
Support vector regression for surveillance purposes
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2006)
This paper addresses the problem of applying powerful statistical pattern classification algorithm based on kernel functions to target tracking on surveillance systems. Rather than directly adapting a recognizer we develop ...
Comparison of three different combination therapies in the treatment of human brucellosis
(ROYAL SOC MEDICINE PRESS LTD, 2005)
The efficacy and tolerability of three different combination treatment regimens in human brucellosis were compared in 118 uncomplicated patients enrolled in a prospective study between May 1997 and December 2002. Brucellosis ...
Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) with the drainage of the uncinate process into the minor papilla: demonstration by MRI
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2005)
We report a case of a 30-year-old patient with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) that has not been described before. The patient had a clinical history of recurrent attacks of pancreatitis cholangitis and ...
A Radiofrequency modified maze and valve procedure through a port-access approach
(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2003)
Background: The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the irrigated radiofrequency modified maze procedure through a port-access approach during mitral valve surgery. Methods: Forty-three ...
Spontaneous ureteral rupture: Is immediate surgical intervention always necessary? Presentation of four cases and review of the literature
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc Publ, 2002)
Purpose: We report our experience with spontaneous ureteral rupture (SUR) managed conservatively. Case Reports: Data on three men and one woman 53 to 89 years old (mean age 73) with SUR were retrospectively evaluated. The ...
Reconstruction of the superior labial sulcus in secondary bilateral cleft lip deformities: An inverted U-shaped flap
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001)
A shallow buccal sulcus deformity following bilateral cleft lip repair is not rare. A variety of techniques are described for the secondary reconstruction of a deficient sulcus. Most of these are associated with a variable ...
The stability constants of the rare earth complexes with trimetaphosphoric acid
(Soc Chimica Italiana, 2001)
The stability constants of the complexes formed between the rare earth metal ions and the anion of trimetaphosphoric acid have been determined at a temperature of 20 degreesC and an ionic strength of mu =0.1 by the ...
Removal of UroLume endoprosthesis using holmium : YAG laser
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc Publ, 2001)
A potential complication of UroLume endoprosthesis is migration which may necessitate removal of the stent. Stent removal may be associated with complications such as urethral injury bleeding and external sphincter trauma. ...
Intraoperative saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze procedure for atrial fibrillation
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2002)
Background. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified Maze operation for treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation and to compare the results of the left and ...
