Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Patient Management, 1st edition
Authors: Raouf N. Naguib
Venue:  (2000)

:The potential value of artificial neural networks (ANN) as a predictor of malignancy has begun to received increased recognition. Research and case studies can be found scattered throughout a multitude of journals. Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Patient Management brings together the work of top researchers - primarily clinicians - who present the results of their state-of-the-art work with ANNs as applied to nearly all major areas of cancer for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of the disease.The book introduces the theory of neural networks and the method of their application in oncology. It is not an exercise in ANN research, but the presentation of a new technique for diagnosing and determining the treatment of cancers. The authors have included almost all cancers for which there exists ANN applications. When the data available is ill-defined and the development of an algorithmic solution difficult, neural networks provide a non-linear approach which helps sift through the maze of information and arrive at a reasonable solution.Highly interdisciplinary in nature, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the most important materials relating to the applications of ANNs in the cancer field. With contributions from prominent research centers worldwide, it serves as an introduction to how neural networks can be used for accurate prediction or diagnosis and shows why neural networks are more accurate. Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Patient Management gives you an understanding of this new tool, its applications, and when it should be used.

Implementation of distributed iterative algorithm for optimal control problems on several parallel architectures
Authors: Mohamed Jarraya, Didier El Baz
Venue: Journal of Systems and Software (2002)

We consider an optimal control problem without constraint. The solution of this problem leads to a large scale block linear system. We present a two-stage method which is well suited to an asynchronous implementation with flexible communication whereby every processor can have access at any time and without any fixed rule to the current value of the components of the iteration vector updated by any other processor. The implementation is carried out on three types of architecture: a super computer with distributed memory CRAY T3E, a shared memory symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) and a high speed network of SMP.

ESOLID---A System for Exact Boundary Evaluation
Authors: John Keyser, Tim Culver, Mark Foskey, Shankar Krishnan, Dinesh Manocha
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

We present a system, ESOLID, that performs exact boundary evaluation of low degree curved solids in reasonable amounts of time. ESOLID performs accurate Boolean operations using exact representations and exact computations throughout. The demands of exact computation require a different set of algorithms and efficiency improvements than those found in a traditional inexact floating point based modeler. We describe the system architecture, representations, and issues in implementing the algorithms. We also describe a number of techniques that increase the efficiency of the system based on lazy evaluation, use of floating point filters, arbitrary floating point arithmetic with error bounds, and lower dimensional formulation of subproblems. ESOLID has been used for boundary evaluation of many complex solids. These include both synthetic datasets and parts of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle designed using the BRL-CAD solid modeling system. It is shown that ESOLID can correctly evaluate the boundary of solids that are very hard to compute using a fixed-precision floating point modeler. In terms of performance, it is about an order of magnitude slower as compared to a floating point boundary evaluation system on most cases.

Pulsed-magnetron-sputtered low-temperature indium tin oxide films for flat-panel display applications
Authors: William J. Lee, Yean-Kuen Fang, Jyh-Jier Ho, Chin-Ying Chen, Rung-Ywan Tsai, Daoyang Huang, Fang C. Ho, H. W. Chou, C. C. Chen
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

In this paper, indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by unipolar and bipolar direct current (DC)-pulsed magnetron sputtering in a mixture of argon and oxygen onto unheated glass substrates. The target of ITO with 10 wt.% tin is used. The influences of polar modes (unipolar and bipolar); output frequencies (0 to 33 kHz); and times and off times on the optical, electrical, and structural properties of ITO films are investigated. The correlations between the deposition parameters and the film properties are discussed. It is found that the resistivity with 10-3 Ω-cm and transmittance with ≥90% of amorphous ITO films can be prepared by the reactive bipolar DC-pulsed sputtering with t-on between 45 µs and 85 µs (i.e., t-on/t+on is 9-17), and t+on, t-off and t+off are constant at 5 µs, 10 µs, and 5 µs, respectively. An optimal condition, based on the polar mode and frequency of reactive-pulsed sputtering, for obtaining the high transmittance and low resistivity of ITO films is suggested.

A Structural Diagnosis of Some IC Orderings
Authors: Robert Bridson, Wei-Pai Tang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We present a novel analysis of the potential effectiveness of a matrix ordering for the incomplete Cholesky factorization (IC) in terms of just the sparsity structure. By looking at the structure of the approximate inverse implicitly created by IC we can help to explain the success of reverse Cuthill--McKee orderings, the problems IC(0) has under red-black orderings that disappear when extra fill is included, and where fill must be added to make fill-reducing orderings such as minimum degree effective.
On solving structural acoustics problems in time-domain
Authors: Andrzej J. Safjan
Venue: Zeitschrift f&uuml;r Angewandte Mathematik und Physik (ZAMP) (2002)

The structural acoustics problem is formulated as a hyperbolic system of conservation laws which leads to an abstract Cauchy problem in common Hilbert space settings. The Cauchy problem is approximated by using high-order, multi-stage Taylor-Galerkin methods which provide high-order temporal accuracy and unconditional stability on arbitrary (unstructured) finite element grids. The formulation is extended to problems posed on unbounded domains by introduction of iterative radiation boundary conditions. The proposed approaches are shown to produce very good results for the test cases considered.
