Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system (CNS) insulate axons and thereby Canteens allow saltatory nerve conduction, which is a prerequisite for complex brain function.Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common inflammatory autoimmune disease of the CNS, leads to the destruction of myelin sheaths and the myelin-producing oligodendrocytes, thus le
Extrinsic Information Modification in the Turbo Decoder by Exploiting Source Redundancies for HEVC Video Transmitted Over a Mobile Channel
An iterative turbo decoder-based cross layer error recovery scheme for compressed video is presented in this paper.The soft information exchanged between two convolutional decoders is reinforced both by channel coded parity and video compression syntactical information.An algorithm to identify the video frame boundaries in corrupted compressed sequ
Design of an Infrared Imaging System for Robotic Inspection of Gas Leaks in Industrial Environments
Gas detection can become a critical task in dangerous environments that involve hazardous or contaminant gases, and the use of imaging sensors provides an important tool for leakage location.This paper presents a new design for remote sensing of gas leaks based on infrared (IR) imaging techniques.The inspection system uses an uncooled microbolomete
Comparison of Shear Bond Strength and Adhesive Remnant Score of Orthodontic Brackets Bonded with Three Different Orthodontic Adhesives: An In-vitro Study
Introduction: Adequate bond strength between orthodontic brackets and enamel is necessary to withstand masticatory forces.Priming involves applying a primer before using the adhesive as a separate step.To reduce bonding time, manufacturers have introduced self-priming adhesives.Aim: To evaluate the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) and Adhesive Remnant Ind
