Quantitative identification of the transitions between anaesthetic states is very essential for optimizing patient safety and quality care during surgery but poses a very challenging task. The state-of-the-art monitors are still not capable of providing their manifest variables, so the practitioners must diagnose them based on their own experience. The present paper proposes a novel real-time method to identify these transitions.

This paper proposes a novel approach to tensor completion, which recovers missing entries of data represented by tensors. The approach is based on the tensor train (TT) rank, which is able to capture hidden information from tensors thanks to its definition from a well-balanced matricization scheme. Accordingly, new optimization formulations for tensor completion are proposed as well as two new algorithms for their solution.

These parameters are thought to be the origin of contrast in terahertz (THz) images of skin cancer. The existing extraction methods could generate Debye models, which track their measurements accurately at frequencies higher than 1 THz but poorly at lower frequencies, where the majority of permittivity contrast between healthy and diseased skin tissues is actually observed.
