The fault detection process is approximated with a disturbance attenuation problem. solution to this problem, for both linear time-varying and time-invariant systems, leads game theoretic filter which bounds the transmission of all exogenous signals except be detected. In limit, when bound brought zero, complete block achieved by embedding nuisance inputs into an unobservable, invariant subspace. Since same subspace structure seen in some types filters, we can claim that asymptotic itself...

Abstract Ménière’s Disease (MD) is difficult to diagnose and evaluate objectively over the course of treatment. Recently, several studies have reported MD diagnoses by MRI-based endolymphatic hydrops (EH) analysis. However, this method time-consuming complicated. Therefore, a fast, objective, accurate evaluation tool necessary. The purpose study was develop an algorithm that can accurately analyze EH on intravenous (IV) gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced inner-ear MRI using artificial intelligence...
Gentamicin is well known to promote hair cell death in inner ear, but it also appears activate opposing pathways that survival. In combination with others, our previous work has indicated a K-Ras/Rac/JNK pathway important for and an H-Ras/Raf/MEK/Erk involved promoting survival (Battaglia et al., Neuroscience 122(4):1025-1035, 2003). However, these data suggested Ras-independent activation of MEK might be stimulated by gentamicin. To investigate alternatives the Ras/Raf/MEK/Erk survival,...
