Studies of the Electrical Resistivity Tomography Monitoring of the Issyk-Ata Fault Zone (Northern Tien Shan) by Rybin Anatoly, Bataleva Elena, Zabinyakova Olga, Nepeina Kseniia

“…Using the analysis of difference pseudo-sections of apparent resistivity, constructed based on the results of ERT monitoring, the most informative pseudo-depth interval from the point of view of geoelectric activity was determined for all three monitoring profiles. Accordingly, for a pseudo-depth of 24 m on each monitoring profile, an assessment was made of the geodynamic activity of these sections of the Issyk-Ata fault based on an analysis of the magnitude of two parameters: the amplitude of apparent resistivity variations and the correlation coefficient of electrical resistivity variations with lunar-solar solid tides. …”

Noise reduction in brain magnetic resonance imaging using adaptive wavelet thresholding based on linear prediction factor by Ananias Pereira Neto, Ananias Pereira Neto, Fabrício J. B. Barros

“…This factor leverages temporal information and features from both the original and noisy images to determine a weighted threshold. This dynamic thresholding approach aims to selectively reduce or eliminate noise coefficients while preserving essential image features.ResultsThe proposed method was rigorously evaluated against existing state-of-the-art noise reduction techniques. …”
