In a long-term prospective study multisegmentation for transverse widening of the maxilla was followed up to calculate tendency to relapse and clinical outcome. Thirty-six patients were followed up for 30 months and 13 for 60 months postoperatively. There were no complications after the maxillary operations. Transverse widening varied from 2 mm to 1.5 cm in the posterior part of the maxilla, and was posterior to the canine teeth by a multisegmentation technique in the palatal bone. Although there was a tendency to relapse, which varied from 0.3-0.8 mm in the series, the clinical results are highly satisfactory.

Autonomous vehicles, often known as self-driving cars, have emerged as a disruptive technology with the promise of safer, more efficient, and convenient transportation. The existing works provide achievable results but lack effective solutions, as accumulation on roads can obscure lane markings and traffic signs, making it difficult for the self-driving car to navigate safely. Heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust storms can severely limit the car's sensors' ability to detect obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles, which pose potential safety risks.

SNNs are gaining popularity in AI research as a low-power alternative in deep learning due to their sparse properties and biological interpretability. Using SNNs for dense prediction tasks is becoming an important research area. In this paper, we firstly proposed a novel modification on the conventional Spiking U-Net architecture by adjusting the firing positions of neurons.

The current study aimed to predict lymphovascular invasion (LVI) using multiple machine learning algorithms and multi-segmentation positron emission tomography (PET) radiomics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, offering new avenues for personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. One hundred and twenty-six patients with NSCLC were enrolled in this study. Various automated and semi-automated PET image segmentation methods were applied, including Local Active Contour (LAC), Fuzzy-C-mean (FCM), K-means (KM), Watershed, Region Growing (RG), and Iterative thresholding (IT) with different percentages of the threshold.

Background And Objectives: The study of the retinal vasculature represents a fundamental stage in the screening and diagnosis of many high-incidence diseases, both systemic and ophthalmic. A complete retinal vascular analysis requires the segmentation of the vascular tree along with the classification of the blood vessels into arteries and veins. Early automatic methods approach these complementary segmentation and classification tasks in two sequential stages.

The precise application of tightening torque is one of the important measures to ensure accurate bolt connection and improvement in product assembly quality. Currently, due to the limited assembly space and efficiency, a wrench without the function of torque measurement is still an extensively used assembly tool. Therefore, wrench torque monitoring is one of the urgent problems that needs to be solved.
