The series of payments made in equal intervals of time is known, in the world of financial mathematics, as an annuity. An anticipated annuity is one whose periodic payment expires at the beginning of the established payment interval. The non-analytical equation that allows us to calculate the interest rate, linked to the anticipated annuity, can be solved using several numerical methods, in particular, the numerical method called Newton-Rhapson. The main problem with this method is its initialization, which requires of one starting point ...

In this work, the main purpose is develop a computational segmentation strategy for liver tumor semiautomatic detection. This strategy considers three-dimensional computed tomography images and it consists of techniques application that, on the one hand, diminish the noise and detect the edges of the objects present in those images and, on the other hand, generate the liver tumor morphology. For this, the sequence of techniques composed of gaussian smoothing, gradient magnitude, median filter, region growing and binary morphological dilation are ...

Pathological ovary is categorized into cystic tumors, solid tumors and mixed, according to the content of the affected ovary. Accordingly, the degree of benignity or malignity thereof is established. The imaging study for the preliminary morphological assessment of PO is ultrasound, in its pelvic and transvaginal modalities, for which wellestablished criteria are available. Once the ultrasound findings suggest malignancy, complementary studies such as abdominal-pelvic tomography images and tumor markers are requested. This type of images ...
