We consider strings with large spin in AdS3×S×M with NS-NS background. We construct the string configurations as solutions of SL(2, R) WZW theory. We compute the relation between the spacetime energy and spin, and show that the anomalous correction is constant, and not logarithmic in the spin. This is in contrast with the S-dual background with R-R charge where the anomalous correction is logar...

Background: Correction of deformities around the knee joint may prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis or mitigate its effects. Accurate correction of such deformities without production of secondary deformities depends on precise localization and quantification of the deformities. Methods: We corrected deformities around the knee using acute correction with focal dome osteotomy in 21 seg...

SUMMARY Background gradients induced by magnetic susceptibility variations near air-filled cavities in the brain cause signal-intensity loss in gradient-echo images and shorten T2* considerably. With a correction method in which the exponential decay is restored with section-profile-dependent correction factors, parts of the signal intensity can be recovered. While uncorrected T2* values drop b...

In two configurations, a solid-state acousto-optic (AO) deflector or modulator is mounted in a 0.5 m monochromator for background correction with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). A fused silica acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is used in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region applications while a glass AO deflector (AOD) is used for the visible (VIS) region. The sys...

Background Brace treatment for scoliosis is effective. The short term in-brace correction of the Cobb angle is associated with end results and success of bracing. Irrespective of the factors which determine the correction the measurement of the Cobb angle is a possibility to evaluate the brace quality. We have investigated the braces from one orthotist over a fixed period of time and have descr...

Fig. 2: Illustration of the correction of throughplane distortions. The SEMAC sequence excites multiple slices with no gap in between and resolves the arbitrary distorted excitation slice profiles with the additional z-phase encoding. The correction is done by combining the signals resolved from different slices at each voxel, but many of which only contain background noise. Noise Consideration...

BACKGROUND Most cases of facial asymmetry involve yaw deformity, and determination of the yaw correction level is very difficult. METHODS We use three-dimensional soft tissue simulation to determine the yaw correction level. This three-dimensional simulation is based on the addition of cephalometric prediction to gradual yaw correction. Optimal yaw correction is determined visually, and an in...

background: in treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by icru in report 24. the experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...

Background Regurgitation of the left atrio-ventricular valve (LAVV) is common after atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) correction and up to 15% of the patients require surgery of the LAVV during follow-up. Reliable quantification of LAVV regurgitation after AVSD correction is essential for indicating surgical correction, but has shown to be difficult using echocardiography. 4DFlow MRI with r...
