Increasing demand for more specialized courses and programs increases the need for universities to differentiate their educational offer and portfolio. Increasing the course portfolio combined with small student populations and at the same time ensuring high quality is a difficult challenge for most universities given their budget limitation and the access they have to educators in the speciali...

Differential privacy has recently emerged in private statistical aggregate analysis as one of the strongest privacy guarantees. A limitation of the model is that it provides the same privacy protection for all individuals in the database.

Introduction: Scan efficiency plays a critical role in Fast Spin Echo (FSE) imaging because of the long TR intervals necessary to achieve the desired image contrast. Given a fixed scan-time budget, there are a finite number of TR intervals to collect echo trains, and this number is independent of the echo train length (ETL). However, in conventional reconstruction, long ETLs cause image blurrin...
