Optimized Brain Extraction for Pathological Brains (optiBET)

The study of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging data has greatly benefitted from the development of sophisticated and efficient algorithms aimed at automating and optimizing the analysis of brain data. We address, in the context of the segmentation of brain from non-brain tissue (i.e., brain extraction, also known as skull-stripping), the tension between the increased theoreti...

"natural Preservatives"

This paper looks at the theoretical development of a natural preservative system using a data base on medicinal plants as a source of reference. The legal aspects of this concept are considered. The traditional methods of preservation, many taken from the food industry are summarised. The use of alcohol, glycerine, sugar, salt, dessication, anhydrous systems and temperature are amongst examples...

To maintain consistency or texture ? to sustain smoothness or prevent the food from separating, caking, or clumping. To improve or retain nutritional value: Enrichment replaces nutrients lost in processing ? this occurs with grains, as some vitamins and minerals are lost in the milling process. Fortification adds a nutrient that wasn't there before and may be lacking in many people's diets. Iod...
