As the simulation results suggest, the proposed method successfully achieves head-on interception of high-speed maneuvering targets in 3D space and largely reduces the requirement for target estimation with strong uncertainty, and it is more applicable than the optimal control method.

A Novel Computing Scheme Based On Pattern Matching For Identification Of Nephron Loss And Chronic Kidney Disease Stage, Rehan Ahmad, Basant Mohanty

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nephrons are the basic filtering units of the kidneys. Progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) destroys nephrons permanently. Although there are many computing schemes suggested in recent years to identify CKD stages, no computing method has been suggested for identifying the nephron loss within kidney regions during CKD progression. In this paper, a novel pattern matching-based computation scheme is proposed to detect nephron loss in the kidney regions during CKD progression. We consider image registration (IR) with different transforms and a structural similarity index algorithm (SSIM) to match patterns of ultrasound images of kidney regions to identify the nephron loss. …
