This work describes an auto-calibrated method for parallel imaging with spiral trajectory. The method is a k-space approach where an interpolation kernel, accounting for coil sensitivity factors, is derived from experimental data and used to interpolate the reduced data set in parallel imaging to estimate the missing k-space data. For the case of spiral imaging, this interpolation kernel is def...

Abstract We determine the bottom quark mass $${\hat{m}}_b$$ m ^ b from QCD sum rules of moments vector current correlator calculated in perturbative to $${{\mathcal {O}}} ({\hat{\alpha }}_s^3)$$ O <mm...

In medical and healthcare applications of machine learning, assessing the confidence of predictions is often as important as obtaining high accuracy. Here, we present an algorithm for constructing calibrated confidence estimates, which are probabilities that match empirical event frequencies in the long run. Unlike previous approaches, our confidence scores are generated in an online fashion an...

The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive survey on the issue of the 3D scene reconstruction from 2D self-calibrated and totally uncalibrated camera views. Image reconstruction is a very important area in the field of computer vision, robotics, and image processing, Several approaches has been suggested and tested. This project will survey reconstruction methods for multiple motion s...

AIMS To evaluate the reliability of Tanaka and Johnston and Moyer's (75th percentile) mixed dentition prediction methods in Kodava population sample, to formulate regression equations for predicting the mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars and to construct probability tables for the Kodava population. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Data was obtained from Kodava subjects visiting the cli...

The accuracy of the 0.001-ml calibrated platinum loop was tested by two methods: visible absorption spectroscopy and weight determinations. By both methods it was demonstrated that the volume of the loop delivery is related to the angle at which the loop is withdrawn from the solution being sampled and the diameter of the container, provided that the volume in the container is adequate to cover...

of the Dissertation Gluing Techniques in Calibrated Geometry by Yongsheng Zhang Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2013 This thesis is concerned with the question: given a submanifold (perhaps with singularities), when is it possible to change the metric in some specific way so that the submanifold becomes homologically mass-minimizing? We studied this question for “hori...
