Wearable bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA) for spinal implants

“…Accordingly, herein, we report on the development and engineering of a bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA), a potential wearable solution for real-time, non-invasive positional analyses of osseous implants within the spine. The electromagnetic coupling mechanism and intimate interfacial adhesion enable the precise sensing of the metallic implants position without the use of radiation. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”
