Background: Benign gallbladder diseases have become a high-prevalence condition not only in China but also worldwide. The main types of benign gallbladder diseases include gallbladder polyps, acute and chronic cholecystitis, and gallstones, with gallstones being the most common, accounting for over 70% of cases. Although the mortality rate of benign gallbladder diseases is low, they carry obvious potential risks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the importance of aggregate gradation in improving the properties of cemented rockfill for better green mining and engineering safety.
  • Various tests, including ultrasonic tests and uniaxial compression experiments, were used to analyze how the Talbot gradation affects the material's structure and strength.
  • Findings indicate a strong positive correlation between the Talbot index and properties like compressive strength and dilatancy onset stress, suggesting that optimal aggregate gradation (around 0.45-0.47) enhances the performance of cemented rockfill materials.

In this paper, we are concerned with denoising in experimentally obtained electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) speckle fringe patterns with poor quality. We extend the application of two existing oriented partial differential equation (PDE) filters, including the second-order single oriented PDE filter and the double oriented PDE filter, to two experimentally obtained ESPI speckle fringe patterns with very poor quality, and compare them with other efficient filtering methods, including the adaptive weighted filter, the improved nonlinear complex diffusion PDE, and the windowed Fourier transform method. All of the five filters have been illustrated to be efficient denoising methods through previous comparative analyses in published papers.

In optical metrology, state of the art algorithms for background and noise removal of fringe patterns are based on space-frequency analysis. In this Letter, an approach based on variational image decomposition is proposed to remove background and noise from a fringe pattern simultaneously. In the proposed method, a fringe image is directly decomposed into three components: a first one containing background, a second one fringes, and a third one noise, which are described in different function spaces and are solved by minimization of the functional.

In the research of computer vision and machine perception, 3D objects are usually represented by 2-manifold triangular meshes M. In this paper, we present practical and efficient algorithms to construct iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams of point sites on M, based on an exact geodesic metric. Compared to euclidean metric spaces, the Voronoi diagrams on M exhibit many special properties that fail all of the existing euclidean Voronoi algorithms.

The title compound, [Co(H(2)O)(6)](C(16)H(12)O(6))·H(2)O, is composed of one 4,4'-(1,2-dihy-droxy-ethane-1,2-di-yl)dibenzoate anion lying on an inversion center, one [Co(H(2)O)(6)](2+) dicationic complex and a solvent water mol-ecule located on mirror planes. In the crystal, a chain is constructed via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the carboxyl-ate and hydroxyl groups of the organic anion; the chains are further connected into a three-dimensional framework by additional O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the [Co(H(2)O)(6)](2+) cations, solvent water mol-ecules and the anions.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringe patterns usually have poor contrast so it is important to enhance fringe contrast for the extraction of phase from a single fringe pattern. We present new enhancement methods based on differential equations (called DE enhancement methods) to electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringes. The DE enhancement methods transform the image processing to solve differential equations.
