Abstract

Heavy rainfall has consistently acted as the primary catalyst for floods, resulting in numerous casualties and significant economic losses globally. Rainfall forecasting is accomplished by analysing existing rainfall data, which is then used to analyse the hydraulic system’s features. Gaining an understanding of rainfall requirements is a crucial challenge for every location, particularly in the case of India, given its diverse geographical area, population, and other influencing factors that impact various demands. This study evaluated the rainfall data for a span of 1990-2021 in six districts of Kerala State, India. To match the rainfall data from all districts, we utilized both Kaumarasamy-distribution and Dagum-distributions. Various Probabilistic tests, were employed to comparing these distributions. The results revealed that, in Kasargod, the Kumarasamy distribution demonstrates superior goodness-of-fit with the lowest Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic (0.0597) and Anderson-darling statistic (2.271). However, in Wayanad, Malappuram, Palakkad, Idukki, and Trivandrum, the Dagum distribution consistently exhibits the most accurate fit, evident from its lowest Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics (0.07447, 0.05435, 0.0556, 0.03636, 0.04291) and favourable Chi-Squared statistics (19.471, 8.4907, 19.239, 5.7318, 7.5297). These results emphasize the regional variation in precipitation data and the suitability of specific distribution models for accurate representation across differentlocations.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the accuracy of complex shear modulus imaging (CSMI), a technique used to assess the elasticity and viscosity of soft tissues, essential for analyzing tissue structure and detecting tumors. CSMI methods are primarily divided into quasi-static and dynamic approaches, with the dynamic method estimating the complex shear modulus (CSM) by combining particle velocity measurements with force excitation. However, CSM estimation is vulnerable to errors from noise and the estimation method itself. To address noise, various filtering techniques are commonly applied. Additionally, errors from the estimation process can be minimized using approaches like frequency combination methods. In this research, we introduce an enhanced frequency combination method that substantially increases the accuracy of CSM parameter estimation, leading to higherquality CSMI outcomes. The proposed method achieves the lowest estimation error and the highest Q-index value compared to previous works. The proposed approach offers a valuable advancement in soft tissue imaging, supporting more reliable and precise diagnostic capabilities.

Abstract

Compressed sensing (CS) has been widely applied in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accelerate the image acquisition without significantly reducing its image quality. In Cartesian MRI, acquisition time can be reduced by skipping phase-encoding steps for faster data acquisition. However, the balance between random under-sampling and Nyquist sampling at the k-space center strongly determines image quality. In this study, we systematically evaluate the impact of different random-to-Nyquist sampling ratios for both single-coil (CS-MRI) and multi-coil (CS-pMRI) reconstructions. Simulation results reveal that dense Nyquist sampling around the k-space center is essential for maintaining image fidelity, whereas reconstruction quality deteriorates sharply when random sampling exceeds approximately 60% of the total under-sampled data. Moreover, CS-pMRI consistently outperforms CS-MRI under equivalent under-sampling factors, benefiting from additional coil sensitivity information that improves resilience against aliasing and noise. These findings provide practical guidelines for hybrid under-sampling design, emphasizing that sufficient Nyquist sampling coverage of central k-space is crucial for achieving high-quality reconstructions while enabling high acceleration in CS-MRI.
