a. Strain Range: In order to measure strain properly, the corresponding change in local spatial frequency of the tags has to be within the range between the lowand high-tuning frequencies. A good representation of the shifts in tag frequency due to local strain can be represented as shifts in the harmonic peak in the Kz direction, as shown in Fig 1. For that reason, the width of the harmonic pe...

Network slicing is a relatively recent paradigm that has become subject of intensive research. Most the existing approaches follow ETSI NFV MANO model with some extensions related to multi-domain slicing, slice selection, etc. The framework part standalone variant 5G network standardized by 3GPP. However, current implementation in several limitations, especially regarding management and orchest...

Liver slice experiments were performed to determine the slice intrinsic clearance and to extrapolate this to the in vivo liver intrinsic clearance in a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK)-like approach. Precision-cut liver slices were incubated with different initial concentrations of tolbutamide, and the time series of parent and metabolite concentrations were measured in slice and in...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different CBCT imaging monitor units (MUs), reconstruction slice thicknesses, and planning CT slice thicknesses on the positioning accuracy of a megavoltage cone-beam computed tomography (MV-CBCT) system in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in head-and-neck patients. The MV-CBCT system was a Siemens MVision, a commercial system inte...

which restricts to the given links at the ends. A link is called (topologically) slice if it is concordant to the trivial m–component link or, equivalently, if it bounds a flat embedding of m disjoint slice disks D2 ∐ · · · ∐D2 ֒→ D4. In the special case m = 1 we refer to the link as a knot. If the embeddings above are required to be C, or smooth, then these notions are called smoothly concordan...

thin layer drying behavior of sweet lemon slice was experimentally investigated in a convective type dryer and the mathematical modeling performed, using thin layer drying models given in literature. drying experiments were conducted at inlet drying air temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 ?c; two slice thicknesses of 3 and 6 mm, and, at one drying air velocity of 0.5 m/s with three replicatio...
