It is important to detect abnormal brains accurately and early. The wavelet-energy (WE) was a successful feature descriptor that achieved excellent performance in various applications; hence, we proposed a WE based new approach for automated abnormal detection, and reported its preliminary results in this study. The kernel support vector machine (KSVM) was used as the classifier, and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) was introduced to optimize the weights of the SVM. The results based on a 5 × 5-fold cross validation showed the performance of the proposed WE + QPSO-KSVM was superior to ``DWT + PCA + BP-NN'', ``DWT + PCA + RBF-NN'', ``DWT + PCA + PSO-KSVM'', ``WE + BPNN'', ``WE +$ KSVM'', and ``DWT $+$ PCA $+$ GA-KSVM'' w.r.t. sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The work provides a novel means to detect abnormal brains with excellent performance.

Brain tumors are among the most fatal and devastating diseases, and they often result in a significant reduction in life expectancy. The devising of treatment plans that can extend the lives of affected individuals hinges on an accurate diagnosis of these tumors. Identifying and analyzing large volumes of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data manually proves to be both challenging and time-consuming.

Multimodal medical image fusion methods, which combine complementary information from many multi-modality medical images, are among the most important and practical approaches in numerous clinical applications. Various conventional image fusion techniques have been developed for multimodality image fusion. Complex procedures for weight map computing, fixed fusion strategy and lack of contextual understanding remain difficult in conventional and machine learning approaches, usually resulting in artefacts that degrade the image quality.

This study aimed to explore more efficient ways of administering caffeine to the body by investigating the impact of caffeine on the modulation of the nervous system's activity through the analysis of electrocardiographic signals (ECG). An ECG non-linear multi-band analysis using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was employed to extract various features from healthy individuals exposed to different caffeine consumption methods: expresso coffee (EC), decaffeinated coffee (ED), Caffeine Oral Films (OF_caffeine), and placebo OF (OF_placebo). Non-linear feature distributions representing every ECG minute time series have been selected by PCA with different variance percentages to serve as inputs for 23 machine learning models in a leave-one-out cross-validation process for analyzing the behavior differences between ED/EC and OF_placebo/OF_caffeine groups, respectively, over time.

In this study, the spectrophotometric method integrated with continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and coupled discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and drospirenone (DP) in combined oral contraceptives (COCs). The CWT approach was performed in the linearity range of 0.6-6 µg/mL for EE and 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Variations in hydraulic conductivity among Picea species are linked to specific anatomical traits of their xylem, which influence their growth strategies within a resource economy continuum.
  • A study on 17 Picea species in a common garden revealed significant differences in growth and anatomical characteristics, with xylem conductivity positively correlated with tracheid size and negatively correlated with traits like wall thickness.
  • Environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation strongly impacted these anatomical traits, indicating that vascular structure may adapt to local climatic conditions rather than show clear evolutionary patterns.
