The main objective of this study is to present new method on the basis of genetic algorithms for attenuation relationship determination of horizontal peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration. The proposed method employs the optimization capabilities of genetic algorithm to determine the coefficients of attenuation relationships of peak ground and spectral accelerations. This method ha...

The effects of chronic morphine administration on the development of long-term potentiation (LTP) were investigated at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses of the rat hippocampal slices using primed-bursts tetanic stimulation. Significant enhancement of orthodromic population spike (OPS) was found for all stimulus intensities after tetanic stimulation. OPS enhancement was greates...

In cat striate cortex, patchy horizontal axonal projections link columns of similar orientation specificity. To assess the physiological correlates of such clustered projections, a new multisite stimulation technique was used to functionally map the pattern of horizontal synaptic inputs onto single layer 2/3 cells within tangential slices of developing ferret visual cortex. Twenty-four separate...

depth estimation of the top of the bedrock in the sedimentary basins is the main goal in geomagnetic explorations. the depth estimation of this kind of anomalies can be done using different methods, in the cases where the bedrock is magnetized. in this article, we use the standard euler deconvolution method and its results to interpret the magnetic data from the reshm region in semnan province ...

We consider scalable randomized algorithms for many common tensor operations, including tensor multiplication, low-rank decomposition and nuclear norm minimization. Such operations arise in a number of modern day applications of tensors in machine learning and signal processing. Specifically, we introduce polynomial time algorithms that employ a small number of lateral and/or horizontal slices ...

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of a model-based approach for registration of myocardial dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI corrupted by respiratory motion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients were scanned for myocardial perfusion on 3T or 1.5T scanners, and short- and long-axis slices were acquired. Interframe registration was done using an iterative model-based method in conjunction with a m...

This paper presents a robust method to correct for intensity differences across a series of aligned stained histological slices. The method is made up of two steps. First, for each slice, a scale-space analysis of the histogram provides a set of alternative interpretations in terms of tissue classes. Each of these interpretations can lead to a different classification of the related slice. A si...

The computations performed within cortex are likely to be determined by its internal dynamics in addition to its pattern of afferent input. As a step toward characterizing these dynamics, we have imaged electrical activity in slices from rat primary visual cortex stained with the voltage-sensitive dye di-4-ANEPPS. In response to electrical stimulation two fluorescence signals of similar maximum...
