Introduction Mapping complex fiber orientations with diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) technique has been demonstrated as a potentially useful neuroimaging tool for investigating the brain structural connective network [1]. To sample DSI data, a large number of diffusion-weighted images are needed to be acquired for filling the 3-dimensional (3D) q-space. However, such sampling scheme prolongs t...

actual trigger for DSI appears to be a rise in postsynaptic calcium, since it is prevented when calcium chelators, such as EGTA or BAPTA, are present postJohanna M. Montgomery and Daniel V. Madison* Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology Stanford University School of Medicine synaptically (Llano et al., 1991; Pitler and Alger, 1994).

Method: The study was carried out in three phase. Phase I: V-DOP developed by Konnai et al., 2010 (in Kannada & English for Indian population) was translated in Tamil and verified for content validity. Phase II: English and Tamil version of V-DOP was administered on forty eight subjects for validation. Phase III: Correlating scores from DSI and V-DOP was done on fifty subjects with voice concer...

The revised Speech Perception in Noise (SPIN) test and the Dichotic Sentence Identification (DSI) test have been used to help evaluate speech-recognition capabilities in elderly people. We evaluated the test-retest reliability of these measures for 17 subjects aged 63-82 years. The DSI and revised SPIN tests were administered at 65, 75, and 85 dB SPL, with a total of three presentations at each...

In view of the problems involved in remote sensing monitoring urban air quality, including low spatial resolution, only for a single pollutant, complex inversion algorithms, and difficultly obtaining parameter values, this study, new difference smog index (DSI) was developed, then comparison with normal haze index, MODIS aerosol optical depth products. The results show that DSI model developed ...

The current paper proposes a real-time dense stereo matching algorithm based on a DSI (Disparity Space Image ) data structure that can produce accurate disparity map. Our approach divides the disparity map computing into two main steps. The first step deals with the computing of the initial disparity map using DSI method. The second step presents a simple and a fast method to refine the initial...

In the mollusk, Tritonia diomedea, the serotonergic dorsal swim interneuron (DSI) produces spike timing-dependent neuromodulation (STDN) of the synaptic output of ventral swim interneuron B (VSI) resulting in a biphasic, bidirectional change of synaptic strength characterized by a rapid heterosynaptic potentiation followed by a more prolonged heterosynaptic depression. This study examined the m...
