Geometric covariograms and their application to image analysis

Geometric covariograms and their application to image analysis - Context: geostatistical modeling of regionalized data Geostatistics is used to analyze and to model regionalized variables known through a set of sparse data. Regionalized variables are interpreted as realizations of random fields, the characteristics of which can be inferred from the available data. Object-based models. Random field models can be obtained by considering objects seeded at the points of a random point process in space and/or time. The shape, size and orientation of the objects may be deterministic or random, with the same distribution as a typical object, The value assigned to each object can be a constant or a function of the distance to the gravity center. When two or more objects overlap, the value at the spatial locations common to these objects can be defined by one of the following rules. alue of the first or last object: dead leaves model. sum of the object values: dilution model. maximum object value: Boolean model. Object-based models First example: a dead leaves model, with discs valued ,1 or 1. Second example: a dilution model, with discs valued ,1 or 1 (random coin model) Object-based models. Examples of application, grains in polycrystalline materials, fracture network in a rock mass, fluvial channels in reservoirs, fluvial channels in reservoirs, rocks on a conveyor belt, swarm of veinlets in an ore deposit. Random closed and compact sets. Deterministic compact set In practice, objects can be represented by compact sets, i.e., sets that are closed (i.e., that contain their boundary points) and bounded. In the following, we restrict ourselves to planar sets. Random closed set. A random closed set A in R2is a mapping from a probability space into the family F2 of closed sets equipped with the σ-algebra generated by the collections of closed sets of the form. Random compact set. A random closed set with almost surely compact realizations is called a random compact set. A random compact set that almost surely coincides with the closure of its interior is said to be regular. Random closed and compact sets - Characterization The distribution of a random closed set A is entirely described by its characteristic functionals, defined by. Geometric covariogram Definition The geometric covariogram of a random compact set A is: The homogeneous Poisson point process gives the impression of points distributed at random in space.

Renewable Energy Market Trends and Projections 2013 to 2018

Renewable Energy Market Trends and Projections 2013 to 2018 - Medium ‐Term Renewable Energy Market Report 2013. Positive outlook for renewable electricity. Renewable electricity projected to scale up by 40% from 2012 to 2018. Renewable power spreading out everywhere. Emerging markets more than compensate for slowing growth and volatility in markets such as Europe and the US.

Policy uncertainty is the number one risk. Main messages to policy makers. Many renewables no longer require high economic incentives. But they do need long‐term policies that continue to provide a predictable and reliable market and regulatory framework compatible with societal goals. Part Two–Snapshots Technology Regional Country Breakdowns Technology, Regional, Country Breakdowns.

Methodology and Scope - Analysis of drivers and challenges. for RE deployment at counrty level. Regulatory framework, powerdemand, competition with other fuels, grid integration, etc. Bottom‐up RE power capacity and generation forecast. Global biofuels production by country, Regional breakdown RE for heat.

Despite Challenges, strong Renewable Drivers in 2012. Biofuels production to grow by 25% - Biofuels supply by region. Global biofuels supply adjusted for energy content vs road transport oil demand. Biofuels to cover 3.9% of global road transport by 2018. But downside risk from growing policy uncertainty in the EU and US; and advanced biofuels not making enough progress.

Man who had a renal transplant presents with a 3 week history of diarrhea

Man who had a renal transplant presents with a 3 week history of diarrhea - A 56 year-old man who had a renal transplant one year ago presents with a 3 week history of diarrhea. Patchy erythema and granularity were evident at colonoscopy. These biopsies are from the right colon. Multiple biopsies, many of them abnormal. Some have minimal abnormalities. While others seem to be missing most of the crypts. Some biopsies have regenerative epithelium lining strangely shaped crypts. The lamina propria is hypocellular.

One dilated crypt filled with debris and inflammatory cells. Debris-filled macrophages in lamina propria. What is the most likely etiology for these histologic abnormalities? 1.A viral infection 2.A bacterial infection 3.A drug 4. An immunologic deficiency 5. An allergy. This is the pattern of injury that characterizes a drug-induced colitis caused by the immunosuppressive agent Mycophenolate mofetil.

More about mycophenolate colitis later....Drug-induced diarrhea is very common, accounting for 7% of all drug-related adverse effects! Patches of hemorrhage, erosions, ulcers Increased apoptoses: 5-FU, irinotecan, cyclosporine, colchicine, NSAIDs, ticlopidine, ranitidine, anthraquinone laxatives. Drug induced injuries and colitides Cytotoxic, allergic, other. Drugs to consider if the biopsy looks ischemic:

Well established associations with colonic ischemia. ischemic colonic mucosal injury—no specificity to the histology. A number of drugs have well-established associations with infectious colitis.

Strategies 4 Email Marketing Success

6 Strategies for achieving Email Marketing Success - Building an Email marketing strategy. The Internet is now the way to get information. In the US, over 209 million people, 69% of the total population, are online. One hundred and forty seven million people use email daily. Major advertising campaigns now include big investments in websites and email campaigns. Email marketing has grown in popularity because it produces results. While in the late 90’s and into 2000, email marketing was new.

The accessibility of email now means that marketers must work hard to cut through the clutter. In the past, permission was a “nice to have.” Now permission is a “must have.” Ultimately, a company must put more thought into email communications – from goals and objectives to long-term vision. Whether you are new to email marketing or a seasoned professional, a strategy and a roadmap prove critical for email marketing. This document was created with the intention of saving you time by pointing out the main elements of a good email marketing strategy and letting you customize them to meet the needs of your company.

Armed with this information, you should be able to provide management, partners and peers with solid reasons why your organization should include email marketing as a way to reach business objectives or enhance your current running email marketing campaign.

STEP one:Define Email marketing Email marketing can mean lots of things to lots of people. Email is a very versatile medium that can include customer acquisition (lead or sales), retention, cross-selling, up-selling and more.

STEP Two: Setgoals Remember that you need to communicate the purpose of email marketing for your organization. Start with a goal so that others can see how it ties into the overall business strategy.

STEP Three:your list Your contacts form the foundation of your strategy. After all, you’re building a strategy around com-municating with them. Your goals are tied to their actions. Your lists are the most important piece of the puzzle. Successful email marketing is a result of sending relevant content, so your plan should include learning as much as you can about your contacts.

STEP four: Plan for content. One of the biggest reasons that many email marketing campaigns aren’t successful is that content isn’t planned in advance. Setting an editorial calendar, similar to print, is a very good idea.

FNA of Thyroid - Diagnostic Challenges, Controversies and Terminology

FNA of Thyroid - Diagnostic Challenges, Controversies and Terminology - Introduction and Bethesda system classification •Diagnostic challenges and controversies •Specimen adequacy •Management options •Atypia and indeterminate thyroid FNAs •Molecular testing. FNA proven effective management tool in patients with thyroid nodules •Thyroid FNA is diagnostic in many conditions–It is primarily a “screening test” •Main purpose is to provide for a rational approach to management, and determine extent of surgery when needed. No standards existed for reporting thyroid FNAs •Different classification schemes based on personal/institutional experiences and biases •A survey of pathologists and clinicians on the perceptions of terminology used in reporting thyroid FNA showed a discord between pathologists and clinicians. Surveyed 133 clinicians (Endocrinologists, Surgeons, Thyroid specialists) •Implications of FNA DX on management options–Non-diagnostic 98% repeat FNA–Suspicious for malig 96% surgery–Indeterminate 58% repeat FNA, 32% surgery–Atypical 37% repeat FNA, 52% surgery • “Indeterminate”was confused with ND in 58% of cases. “Atypical”was too ambiguous and treated as “Susp. malignant” in over ½ of cases. Bethesda System Classification •FNA has become the standard of care for initial workup of thyroid nodules •Most clinicians use FNA results in conjunction with clinical findings to guide treatment •Clinicians generally utilize FNA to provide a relative risk of malignancy, from which they can base their management decisions •The proposed diagnostic categories are important in providing a risk of malignancy to clinicians and patients Surgery vs. follow-up Major Challenges and Controversies–Assessment of watery/thin colloid •Conventional Paps and ThinPrep–Terminology •Two diagnostic categories (FLUS & FN) vs. one–Criteria for diagnosis of FN •Proportion of microfollicles •Overall cellularity–Suspicious for PTC •How much atypia is enough? •Minimal criteria for PTC.
