Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) has proven valuable in the diagnosis, staging and restaging for many cancers. However, its application for liver cancer has remained limited owing in part to the relatively high background uptake of the tracer in the liver plus the significant variability of the tumor specific uptake in liver cancer among pa...

Any information is (transported as) a selection from an ordered set, which the “domain” of information. For example, any piece digital number sequence that represents such selection. Its senders and receivers (with software) should know format domain in uniform way worldwide. So far, this not guaranteed. However, it can be guaranteed after introduction new “Domain Vector” (DV) data structure: “...

introduction: evidence-based education has been introduced to dentistry as a new educational tool. however, its effectiveness should be evaluated in different educational topics. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of evidence-based and conventional education on radiography assessment before endodontic treatment. methods: in this semi-experimental study 75 senior dental students of...

In the present study, mechanical properties and low cycle fatigue behavior of a solid-solutionized AA6061 aluminum alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process were investigated. The grain refinement after two passes of ECAP significantly increased the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress and decreased the ductility of the alloy. However, the improvement of low cycle fati...

Residue Number System (RNS) is a carry-free and non-weighed integer system. In this paper an improved three-moduli set  in reverse converter based on CRT algorithm is proposed. CRT algorithm can perform a better delay and hardware implementation in modules via other algorithms. This moduli is based on p that covers a wide range on modules and supports the whole range of its modules in dynamic r...

enlarged, was retroverted, and lying somewhat low in the pelvis. The displacement, however, could not be considered abnormal at the age of 60, but in order to exclude it as a. possible cause I replaced the uterus and introduced a pessary. Curiously, next day the patient said she felt very much better, and on the following day she left the nursing home and travelled to Argyllshire. Two days late...
