(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The use of aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has become the treatment of choice in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention to prevent ...
Extended quantum cuts for unsupervised salient object extraction
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this manuscript, an unsupervised salient object extraction algorithm is proposed for RGB and RGB-Depth images. Saliency estimation is formulated as a foreground detection problem. To this end, Quantum-Cuts (QCUT), a ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conductive poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) nanocomposites
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) copolymers with varying compositions of the monomers have been prepared in this work by copolymerization of aniline and 3-bromoaniline using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Structure and ...
