BACKGROUND 3D ultrasound volume reconstruction from B-model ultrasound slices can provide more clearly and intuitive structure of tissue and lesion for the clinician. METHODS This paper proposes a novel Global Path Matching method for the 3D reconstruction of freehand ultrasound images. The proposed method composes of two main steps: bin-filling scheme and hole-filling strategy. For the bin-f...

A Validation Network (VN) prototype is currently underway that compares data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite Precipitation Radar (PR) to similar measurements from U.S. and international operational weather radars. This prototype is a major component of the Ground Validation System (GVS) activities supporting the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The p...

Objective: This study was conducted to find out the pain management status and life satisfaction of elderly individuals living in a nursing home determine relationship between these.
 Methods: descriptive cross-sectional Turkey November 2019. The data were collected by researchers with face-to-face interview technique using “Personal Information Form”, “Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM)”, “Pain...

Precipitation is one of the most important parameters on the earth system, and the global distribution of precipitation and its change are essential data for modeling the water cycle, maintaining the ecosystem environment, agricultural production, improvements of the weather forecast precision, flood warning and so on. In the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) project, the microwave radiome...

Recent advances in mathematical modelling have enabled the development of detailed mechanistic models to support the design and analysis of chemical processes or products. However in those cases where the resulting model is highly complex, it can be extremely time consuming to solve the model numerically, thereby limiting its practical applicability. This is especially the case where a complex ...

This case study evaluates the efficacy of a 10-session manualized version of general psychiatric management (GPM) with a female patient diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), severe depressive disorder, and schizotypal traits. The authors hypothesized that increases in adaptive emotional processing would lead to increases in therapeutic alliance and treatment outcome. Hypotheses ...

Microtunneling is a trenchless technology method used for installing new pipelines. The inherent advantages of this method over open-cut trenching have led to its increasing use. This paper presents a general model for microtunneling decision support system (MDS) that can be used as a basis for developing more effective microtunneling design and construction. The model objectives are to: (1) de...

Two-level pipelining in processor arrays (PAs) involves pipelining of operations across processing elements (PEs) and pipelining of operations in functional units in each PE. Although it is an attractive method for improving the throughput of PAs, existing methods for generating PAs with two-level pipelining are restricted and cannot systematically explore the entire space of feasible designs. ...
