Abdominal pregnancy: two cases of critical obstetric conditions with different perinatal outcomes. Case report by Tatiana E. Belokrinitskaya, Nataly I. Frolova, Anna A. Kustova, Ekaterina Y. Nikolaeva, Anastasiya O. Zolotukhina, Tatiana M. Barkan, Natalia N. Byshina

“…Despite using advanced imaging techniques in prenatal diagnosis, diagnosing and treating AP remain challenging. Progressive advanced AP may remain undiagnosed for a long time due to the absence of specific clinical symptoms, errors in the interpretation of echographic patterns by radiologists, and a lack of alertness due to the rarity of this type of EP. …”

Using Wavelets to Identify Linear Dynamic Models by Youns M. Th. Al.Obeady, Heyam A.A.Hayawi, Mohamed Elkhouli

“…The forecasting process of water cleaning in the city of Mosul was studied using the input and output variables represented by some tests performed on raw water before the filtration process, to be treated through multiple filtration stages. To determine the safety of water for human consumption, the filtration process was studied by forecasting using Dynamic models, including the self-regression model with additional inputs, the moving averages model, self-regression with additional inputs, as well as the output error model and the box Jenkins model. the best model obtained from the data was diagnosed using statistical criteria, and then a comparison was made to predict through forecasting criteria and applied to water data.…”

Vibe++ background segmentation method combining MeanShift clustering analysis and convolutional neural network by Zihao LIU, Xiaojun JIA, Sulan ZHANG, Zhiling XU, Jun ZHANG

“…To solve problems of noise points and high segmentation error for image shadow brought by traditional Vibe+ algorithm, a novel background segmentation method (Vibe++) based on the improved Vibe+ was proposed.Firstly, binarization image was acquired by using traditional Vibe+ algorithm from surveillance video.The connected regions were marked based on the region-growing domain marker method.The area threshold was obtained with difference characteristics of boundary area, the connected regions below threshold were treated as disturbing points.Secondly, five different kernel functions were introduced to improve the traditional MeanShift clustering algorithm.After improving, this algorithm was fused effectively with partitioned convolutional neural network.Finally, program of classification of trailing area, non-trailing area and trailing edge area in the resulting image was performed.Position coordinates of the trailing area were calculated and confirmed, and the trailing area was quickly deleted to obtain the final segmentation result.This segmentation accuracy was greatly improved by using the proposed method.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve segmentation accuracy of more than 98% and has good application effect and high practical value.…”
