Purpose The microenvironment of breast tumors plays a critical role in tumorigenesis. As
long as the structural integrity of the microenvironment is upheld, the tumor is suppressed. If …

Danger lies not in what we don't know, but in what we think we know that just ain't so. Mark
Twain (1835–1910) The use of wavelets in statistics has received wide attention in the last …

Abstract Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a stochastic process where implicit or latent
stochastic processes can be inferred indirectly through a sequence of observed states. HMM …

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is designed to take maintenance actions only when
there is an imminent evidence of failure for a monitoring system. The parameters indicating …

In particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments, background noise inevitably exists in the
particle images when a particle image is being captured or transmitted, which blurs the …

Fractals are models of natural processes with many applications in medicine. The recent
studies in medicine show that fractals can be applied for cancer detection and the …

Multifractal denoising techniques capture interest in biomedicine, economy, and signal and
image processing. Regarding stroke data there are subtle details not easily detectable by …

This brief derives a 2-D spectrum estimator from some recent results on the statistical
properties of wavelet packet coefficients of random processes. It provides an analysis of the …

Developing an accurate, rapid and economic oil source recognition method is essential for
water recourses protection. Concentration-synchronous-matrix-fluorescence (CSMF) …

A wavelet-based multifractal spectrum (MFS) for the analysis of images that possess an
erratically changing oscillatory behavior at various scales is constructed and estimated. The …
