Modern computing power has made it possible to reconstruct low-resolution, three-dimensional shapes from solution small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data on biomolecules without a priori knowledge of the structure. In conjunction with rapid mixing techniques, SAXS has been applied to time resolve conformational changes accompanying important biological processes, such as biomolecular folding. ...

We present an angleand spin-resolved photoemission study of half-metallic three-dimensional perovskite La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films grown with pulsed laser deposition. The experiments are performed in the 100 mirror plane. The experimental results are related to GGA U calculations through simulations of photoemission spectra, which take into account the final state broadening in surface-perpendicu...

A 32-channel time-resolved imaging device for medical optical tomography has been employed to evaluate a scheme for imaging the human female breast. The fully automated instrument and the reconstruction procedure have been tested on a conical phantom with tissue-equivalent optical properties. The imaging protocol has been designed to obviate compression of the breast and the need for coupling f...

Climate models that do not simulate changes in stratospheric ozone concentrations require the prescription of ozone fields to accurately calculate UV fluxes and stratospheric heating rates. In this study, three different global ozone time series that are available for this purpose are compared: the data set of Randel and Wu (2007) (RW07), Cionni et al. (2011) (SPARC), and Bodeker et al. (2013) ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The common entity cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is associated with the poorly characterized imaging finding of parenchymal abnormalities; diffusion-weighted imaging has offered some insight into these manifestations. We assessed the relationship between the diffusion constant from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CV...

Introduction Intracardiac flow patterns can be visualized by particle traces obtained from three-dimensional phase contrast MRI. Good results have been shown for stationary [1] and time-resolved data [2]. New off-line retrospective gated 3D phase contrast techniques, providing high resolution time-resolved 3D velocity data, have improved the accuracy of the calculated particle traces [3]. While...

An 11 year old girl underwent successful transsphenoidal pituitary adenomectomy for pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Three months after operation, just after stopping glucocorticoid replacement therapy, she developed benign intracranial hypertension. This resolved when exogenous glucocorticoids were restarted but occurred again when they were later stopped. On restarting glucocorticoids ...

Vision perception is ambiguous and visual arts play with these ambiguities. While perceptual ambiguities are resolved with prior constraints, artistic ambiguities are resolved by conventions. Is there a relationship between priors and conventions? This review surveys recent work related to these ambiguities in composition, spatial scale, illumination and color, three-dimensional layout, shape, ...
