Abstract: An image segmentation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a massive region to which labeling information is attached and a tubular region to which labeling information is attached. By using the labeling information of the massive region and the labeling information of the tubular region, the processing circuitry is configured to generate a region to be segmented and a non-boundary region, by carrying out a distance transformation. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a classifier for classifying spatial coordinates, by using the labeling information of the non-boundary region and labeling information in a specific position determined on the basis of the region to be segmented and the tubular region. The processing circuitry is configured to segment voxels in the region to be segmented by using the classifier and to thus determine a final segmentation result.

Abstract: A segmentation model learning method according to an embodiment includes learning that, based on a loss function value, includes performing supervised learning of the voxels in medical image data according to the region to which the voxels belong.

Abstract: A smart sub-ambient radiative cooling composition including TiO2 particles; inorganic particles selected from the group consisting of SiO2, CaCO3, SiC, ZnO, Al2O3, ZnO, and mixtures thereof; fluorescent pigment particles; and a polymer useful for sub-ambient radiative cooling, methods of preparation, and use thereof.

Abstract: A method and system are described for driving a set of qubits. A first qubit is provided with a first driving frequency and a second qubit is provided with a second driving frequency. Each qubit is provided with a separate microwave gate configured to apply a respective microwave signal. A first electrical signal including the first driving frequency is applied to the first microwave gate for driving the first qubit. Simultaneously a second electrical signal is applied to the second microwave gate including the first driving frequency shifted in phase with respect to the first electrical signal for generating the second microwave signal with the first driving frequency arriving at the second qubit in counterphase to first microwave signal. This may at least partially compensate crosstalk.

Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to the present embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry extracts a registration target area corresponding to a registration target organ from an ultrasonic image by acquiring edges of the registration target organ from the ultrasonic image among a plurality of types of medical images including the registration target organ. The processing circuitry calculates the degree of deformation of a plurality of positions in the registration target area. The processing circuitry performs a rigid registration on the types of medical images on the basis of the degree of deformation for each position calculated at the positions and the similarity between the types of medical images at the positions.

Abstract: A clamp device is used for holding a plate type work-piece. The clamp device includes a base. The base includes a top surface and a bottom surface. A first positioning member and two guiding slots are formed on the base. Two movable members are located on the guiding slots, respectively. The movable member can slide along the guiding slot. The two movable members and the first positioning member form a clamping space together.

Abstract: An antihypertensive pharmaceutical composition is provided, which contains levamlodipine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and indapamide. In the present invention, levamlodipine and indapamide are administrated in combination for treating hypertension, a good synergistic antihypertensive effect is achieved, and the edema side effect due to sodium and water retention caused when levamlodipine is administrated alone and the side effect of glucose metabolism interference caused when indapamide is administrated alone are mitigated.

Abstract: A levamlodipine compound pharmaceutical composition is provided, which contains levamlodipine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and chlorthalidone. In the present invention, levamlodipine and chlorthalidone are administrated in combination for treating hypertension, a high synergistic antihypertensive effect is achieved, and the edema side effect due to sodium and water retention caused when levamlodipine is administrated alone is mitigated. In addition, levamlodipine increases insulin sensitivity of an organism, and resists the side effect of increase in blood glucose level caused by chlorthalidone. The pharmaceutical composition of levamlodipine and chlorthalidone overcomes the disadvantage that levamlodipine takes effects slowly in hypertension repression.
