Aims. We investigate the dependence of penumbral microjets inclination on the position within penumbra. Methods. The high cadence observations taken on 10 November 2006 with the Hinode satellite through the Ca ii H and G–band filters were analysed to determine the inclination of penumbral microjets. The results were then compared with the inclination of the magnetic field determined through the...

Giant aneurysms have been treated with endovascular approaches like general, balloon-assisted and stent-assisted coiling, and flow diverter stent-assisted techniques. Few cases have been reported to be treated with both normal and large coils. Despite the mass effect, an adequate revascularization has been reported. An initial use of these coils is being reported in the current study. This is a...

Environment maps are a popular method of reproducing complex natural lighting. However, current methods for hardware environment map shadows depend on significant pre-computation and cannot support dynamic objects. This work presents a pre-process that decomposes an environment map into two components: a set of area lights and an ambient map. Once the map is split into these components, each is...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Microglia are resident immunocompetent and phagocytic cells of central nervous system (CNS), which produce various cytokines and growth factors in response to injury and thereby regulate disease pathology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of microglial transplantation on focal cerebral ischemia model in rat. METHODS Transient middle cerebral arter...

background: field matching problems in abutting electron fields can be managed by using spoilers. objective: the aim of this study was to design a monte carlo framework for the assessment of spoiler application in abutting electron fields. methods: a siemens primus treatment head was simulated for a 5 mev electron beam using beamnrc and dosxyznrc, egsnrc user codes. validation of beam model was...

Time is a fundamental factor during stroke treat-ments. A fast, automatic approach that segmentsthe ischemic regions helps treatment decisions. In clinical use today, set of color-coded parametric maps generated from computed tomography per-fusion (CTP) images are investigated manually to decide plan. We propose an method based on neural network using segment the two (core and penumbra) in pati...
