Image-Based Evaluation of Implant Tissue Interface Integrity in Polymer Orthopaedic Devices
Abstract: Polymer orthopedic implants offer radiolucency and mechanical compatibility with bone, but long-term success depends on maintaining a stable implant–tissue interface. Routine imaging is widely available for follow-up, yet interface integrity is commonly judged qualitatively, limiting early detection of fixation compromise and reducing comparability across devices and time points. This work presents an image-based methodology to quantify interface integrity by extracting interpretable interface descriptors from a standardized interface belt around the …

Designing Self-Optimizing Operating Systems: Information-Theoretic Approaches to Thread Scheduler Implementation
Abstract: Thread Level Scheduling (TLS) in multi-core and many-core processor environments represents a critical frontier in next-generation operating system design. As computing systems grow increasingly heterogeneous and concurrent, traditional scheduling strategies often rely on heuristics or localized resource metrics, frequently overlooking the deeper, quantifiable relationships and uncertainties inherent in complex concurrent workloads. This study explores the application of information-theoretic approaches, specifically entropy-based task allocation, mutual information-driven dependency analysis, and channel capacity-inspired …

Dual-Stream Deep Learning Framework for Brain CT Image Classification and Implications for Polymer Composite Neuro Implant Evaluation
Abstract: Early and accurate classification of brain CT images is critical for diagnosing conditions such as aneurysms, tumors, and related lesions. We present a dual-stream image-classification framework that fuses convolutional neural network (CNN) features with handcrafted Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptors to jointly capture global semantics and local textural cues. The pipeline begins with modality unification via pixel-wise averaging to form a fused input, which is then processed in parallel …
