Background. Osteoporosis develops in women with estrogen deficiency and amenorrhea
who lose bone at an accelerated rate. It Is not known to what extent bone loss differs between …

We have measured the overall statistical efficiency of human subjects discriminating the
amplitude of visual pattern signals added to noisy backgrounds. By changing the noise …

We determined contrast thresholds for lesion detection as a function of lesion size in both
mammograms and filtered noise backgrounds with the same average power spectrum, …

We have measured the effect of signal-location uncertainty on the detectability of simple
visual signals in uncorrelated image noise. An M-alternative forced-choice signal-location …

The degradation of the model pollutant phenol with hydroxyl radicals generated from zero-valent

… Linearity of psychometric functions for contrast discrimination in the presence or absence
of static noise has been verified in numerous unpublished studies by AE Burgess. The …

Research on human-observer performance for noise-limited tasks (such as those found in
medical imaging) has recently progressed to investigations in which some signal or image …

A combination of hydrodynamic cavitation and heterogeneous advanced Fenton process (AFP)
based on the use of zero valent iron as the catalyst has been investigated for the …
