Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is known as a non-invasive and high resolution imaging modality in ophthalmology. Effecting noise on the OCT images as well as other reasons cause a random behavior in these images. In this study, we introduce a new statistical model for retinal layers in healthy OCT images. This model, namely asymmetric Normal Laplace (NL), fits well the advent of asymmetry and heavy-tailed in intensity distribution of each layer. Due to the layered structure of retina, a mixture model is addressed. It is proposed to evaluate the fitness criteria called Kull-back Leibler Divergence (KLD) and chi-square test along visual results. The results express the well performance of proposed model in fitness of data except for 6 and 7 layers. Using a complicated model, e.g. a mixture model with two component, seems to be appropriate for these layers. The mentioned process for train images can then be devised for a test image by employing the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the values of parameters in mixture model.

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique to interrogate protein structure and dynamics. With the ability to study almost any protein without a size limit, including intrinsically disordered ones, HDX-MS has shown fast growing importance as a complement to structural elucidation techniques. Current experiments compare two or more related conditions (sequences, interaction partners, excipients, conformational states, etc.

We investigate a continuous electrochemical pH-swing method to capture CO from a gas phase. The electrochemical cell consists of a single cation-exchange membrane (CEM) and a recirculation of a mixture of salt and phenazine-based redox-active molecules. In the absorption compartment, this solution is saturated by CO from a mixed gas phase at high pH.

Mixture Markov Model (MMM) is a widely used tool to cluster sequences of events coming from a finite state-space. However, the MMM likelihood being multi-modal, the challenge remains in its maximization. Although Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm remains one of the most popular ways to estimate the MMM parameters, however, convergence of EM algorithm is not always guaranteed.
