Eddy current effects induced by switched gradients in proximal conducting structures are traditionally reduced by applying preemphasis currents whose amplitudes and decay characteristics must be set to offset the eddy current fields. We present an expeditious, localized, and quantitative method for mapping and adjusting the parameters for eddy current compensation. Mapping is based on analysis ...

Exchange mapping locates the dominant mutation Scutoid to the right of Adh on chromosome arm 2L of D. melanogaster. However, deletion mapping indicates that Sco is to the left of Adh. The phenotype of Sco is sensitive to mutation, or deletion, of noc+ and of three genes, el, l(2)br22, and l(2)br29 mapping immediately distal to noc. The four contiguous loci, el, l(2)br22, l(2) br29 and noc, alth...

The local structure of the proximal femoral cortex is of interest since both fracture risk, and the effects of various interventions aimed at reducing that risk, are associated with cortical properties focused in particular regions rather than dispersed over the whole bone. Much of the femoral cortex is less than 3mm thick, appearing so blurred in clinical CT that its actual density is not appa...

The subject of this thesis is contact force determination, specifically for use in interactive rigid body simulation. The aim of the thesis is twofold, to overthrow the projected Gauss-Seidel method and replace it with a more accurate and robust method, and to propose a more accurate friction model than the one used in most interactive simulators. Part of the thesis is presented in the form of ...

In this paper, we consider generalized mixed co-quasi-variational inclusions and propose an iterative algorithm for computing their approximate solutions by using definition of J-proximal mapping given in [9]. We prove that the approximate solutions obtained by proposed algorithm converge to the exact solution of our co-quasi-variational inclusion. Some special cases are also discussed. AMS Sub...

Based on the notion of relativemaximalmonotonicity, a hybrid proximal point algorithm is introduced and then it is applied to the approximation solvability of a general class of variational inclusion problems, while achieving a linear convergence. The obtained results generalize the celebrated work of Rockafellar (1976) where the Lipschitz continuity at 0 of the inverse of the set-valued mappin...

Abstract In this paper our interest is in investigating properties and numerical solutions of Proximal Split feasibility Problems. First, we consider the problem of finding a point which minimizes a convex function f such that its image under a bounded linear operator A minimizes another convex function g. Based on an idea introduced in [9], we propose a split proximal algorithm with a way of s...

background: osteoporosis is a chronic disease that contributes substantially to decrease physical activity and decline in the quality of life. osteoporosis can be diagnosed easily with the use of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (dxa) equipment. the aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude of bone loss on proximal femur and lumbar spine ls in pre- and post-menopausal women from isfaha...

introduction: intramedullary nailing (imn) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. however, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated imn fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

We report the mapping of the structural gene for proteinase B, PRB1. It is located 1.1 cM proximal to CAN1 on the left arm of chromosome V of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have identified 34 amber and 12 ochre mutations among the 126 prb1 mutations in our collection.
