Medical imaging is a widespread method of envisioning the inside of the human anatomy without causing harm. In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), poor contrast images may not support adequate information for visual reading of affected areas. As a result, image enhancement technique is essential to enhance image views and keep the image processing approach computationally low. Because of the anatomical complexity of the brain, low contrast is a challenging aspect to deal with in MRI imaging. The issue of conserving structural features while maintaining brightness is also a significant consideration. The histogram equalization (HE) based technique is frequently applied to enhance contrast in brain MRI images. A unique enhancing approach is presented to increase the brightness and contrast of the MRI picture. Spatial mutual information-based algorithm analyses a clinically gathered dataset of MRI images, producing good results. The proposed approach tested both healthy and unhealthy brain MRI pictures. Contrast and brightness improvement are the two divisions of the suggested technique. Adaptive gamma correction using weighted distribution method is applied on the value channel (V) in HSV color model. It provides the brightness gain matrix, which enhances the image brightness. Spatial mutual information methods act on the luminosity space (L) of the CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space for contrast enhancement. Finally, an efficacious brightness and contrast modification strategy for MRI images is provided, with its performance compared to several state-of-the-art approaches using a well-known performance measure.

Alba domain-containing proteins are ubiquitously found in archaea and eukaryotes. By binding to either DNA, RNA, or DNA:RNA hybrids, these proteins function in genome stabilization, chromatin organization, gene regulation, and/or translational modulation. In the malaria parasite , six Alba domain proteins PfAlba1-6 have been described, of which PfAlba1 has emerged as a "master regulator" of translation during parasite intra-erythrocytic development (IED).

Sulfur-containing small molecules, mainly including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (HS), are crucial biomarkers, and their levels in different body locations (living cells, tissues, blood, urine, saliva, ) are inconsistent and constantly changing. Therefore, it is highly meaningful and challenging to synchronously and accurately detect them in complex multi-component samples without mutual interference. In this work, we propose a steric hindrance-regulated probe, NBD-2FDCI, with single excitation dual emissions to achieve self-adaptive detection of four analytes.

Both the single-image exposure correction (SEC) methods and multi-image exposure fusion (MEF) methods aim to obtain a well-exposed image, but from different number of input image(s). Despite their promising performance on the specific SEC or MEF task, few of these methods explores the inherent correlation behind the same goal of the SEC or MEF tasks. In this paper, we propose to unify the SEC and MEF tasks into a unified task of "Arbitrary-Frame Exposure Correction" (AF-EC) with arbitrary number of input frames.

With the aging population rising, the decline in spatial cognitive ability has become a critical issue affecting the quality of life among the elderly. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis presents substantial potential in spatial cognitive assessments. However, conventional methods struggle to effectively classify spatial cognitive states, particularly in tasks requiring multi-class discrimination of pre- and post-training cognitive states.
