SUMMARY A prior clinical report of 3T MR imaging in subsequently healthy very premature neonates imaged at term-equivalent age found that both gradient recalled-echo-T1WI and spin-echo-T2WI showed higher rates of myelinated structures, compared with spin-echo-T1WI. The current study set out to assess those rates on the same sequences at 3T in term neonates and thus consisted of 16 term neonates...

In this paper we study the behaviour of solutions of Navier{Stokes equations with adherence to the bottom and traction by wind at the surface when the aspect ratio = depth=lenght of the domain tends to 0. Precisely we prove that when wind is moderate, a variational solution converges to the solution of a vertical diiusion model. This model is either quasistationary or nonstationary, according t...

-visual exposure Most of the time, knee prosthesis doesn’t require a long standard approach everting the patella and cuting extensor mechanism on a long distance. On the opposite, MIS is not operating through a keyhole. Lenght of the skin incision is not the most important even if it is the main thing that the patient will see postoperatively. But when it is possible to do it with a small incis...

gladiolus is one of the flowers that used on cut flower and garden plants. an experiment was conducted to study the effects of chemical treatments on the vase life of gladiolus cut flower cv. ‘rose supreme’ with ten chemical treatment using complete randomize design with 3 replications. gladiolus cut flower was harvested when the 2-3 lowest bud had start showing color then cut flower were treat...

In this paper, area preserving multi-scale representations of planar curves are described. This allows smoothing without shrinkage at the same time preserving all the scale-space properties. The representations are obtained deforming the curve via geometric heat flows while simultaneously magnifying the plane by a homethety which keeps the enclosed area constant. When the Euclidean geometric he...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Structural MR imaging does not enable reliable differentiation of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) types 1 and 2 (SCA1 and SCA2), and imaging may be normal during the first years after the onset of symptoms. We aimed at determining whether measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) may enable their differentiation. MATERIALS AND ...

INTRODUCTION Postural control is a complex sensorimotor task that requires an intact network of white matter connections. The ability to weight proprioceptive signals is crucial for postural control. However, research into central processing of proprioceptive signals for postural control is lacking. This is specifically of interest in individuals with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP), because...

Among the newly discovered spinocerebellar cell groups, those at lumbar and more caudal levels of the cat's spinal cord were studied with regard to which of the two cerebellar peduncles, the restiform body or the superior cerebellar peduncle, is used by their axons. Bilateral injections with horseradish peroxidase were made into either of the anterior lobe or the posterior cerebellar terminatio...

Plant reproduction in red clover requires cross-fertilization via insect pollination. However, the influences of visitation rate and timing on maximizing ovule utilization are yet to be determined. We aimed study rate, flowering stage, self-incompatibility reproductive success. applied hand honey bee pollination eight cultivars with two ploidy levels released between 1964 2001. In pollination, ...
