Abstract: This work discusses an improved CMOS-based, noise-immune nonlinear sigmoid activation function designed for enhanced neural network performance. The proposed architecture provides a precise, ...

As scientists question the rise in early colon cancer cases, a new study is offering some potential answers. Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a macrophage white blood cell (center) that ...

Japanese golf icon Masashi ‘Jumbo’ Ozaki has passed away at the age of 78, marking the loss of one of the most influential figures in the sport’s history. Ozaki died from sigmoid colon cancer. Ozaki, ...

A colovesical fistula is the most common type of fistula associated with diverticular disease of the colon. Diverticular disease accounts for 65-75% of vesicoenteric fistulae. We present a case of a ...

Every year, doctors diagnose more than 107,000 cases of colorectal cancer. While survival rates have improved, it's still the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women combined. Knowing ...

A colonoscopy technique involving repeat intubation of the sigmoid colon significantly improves detection of adenomas compared with conventional colonoscopy evaluations, new research showed. “After ...

A small, preliminary study found that marathoners were much more likely to have precancerous growths. Experts aren’t sure why. A study of 100 marathon and ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose to implement the sigmoid function, which will serve as an activation function of the neurons of a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) network, as well as its approximate ...
