Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging is widely used in clinical imaging. To address the strong distortion encountered in EPI-based DW techniques, split-blade DW-PROPELLER [1] was proposed. With PROPELLER, when imaging a small Field of View (FOV) of a large object, No-Phase-Wrap (NPW) is usually applied to remove aliased signal in each blade before combining them [2]. However, with this conventional ...

DW-224a showed the most potent in vitro activity among the quinolone compounds tested against clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria. Against gram-negative bacteria, DW-224a was slightly less active than the other fluoroquinolones. The in vivo activities of DW-224a against gram-positive bacteria were more potent than those of other quinolones.

In manufacturing industries, development of measurement leads to increase the number of monitoring variables and eventually the importance of multivariate control comes to the fore. Statistical process control (SPC) is one of the most widely used as multivariate control chart. Nevertheless, SPC is restricted to apply in processes because its assumption of data as following specific distribution...

A model of local metastable states (MSs) due to the pinning induces plastic deformations allows to describe the nonlinear I − V curves in sliding density waves (DW). With increasing DW velocity v, the MSs of decreasing lifetimes τ ∼ 1/v are accessed. The characteristic second threshold field is reached when the shortest life time configurations are accessed by the fast moving DW. Thus the DW wo...

—Magnetic domain-wall (DW) has been widely investigated for future memory and computing systems. However, energy efficiency and stability become two major challenges of DW-based systems. In this letter, we first propose exploiting skyrmions as on-chip and inter-chip interconnects for DW-based systems, owing to the topological stability, small size and ultra-low depinning current density. In the...

The grape juice by-product obtained from grape traditional press was extracted by Microwave Hydrodiffusion and Gravity (MHG); a green extraction technique preliminarily optimized at 1 W/g. The MHG extract (MHGE) was analyzed by HPLC for identification and quantification of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds. Then, MHGE was added to the natural juice (NJ) to produce an innovative grape ju...

The purpose of this Note is to prove a form of CLT (Theorem 1.4) that is used in Epstein and Seo (2011). More general central limit results and other applications will follow in later drafts. Let S = fB;Ng and K (S) = ffBg; fNg; fB;Ngg the set of nonempty subsets of S. Denote by s1 = (s1; s2; :::) the generic element of S1 and by n (s1) the empirical frequency of the outcome B in the …rst n exp...

Effects of Artemia urmiana enriched with ICES30/4 as a commercial emulsion of highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) on growth, survival, salinity tolerance and fatty acid composition of the Persian sturgeon larvae were evaluated. Artemia enriched for two different time periods (12 and 24 hours) and non-enriched artemia were fed to A. persicus larvae (average initial wet weight 46.80± 2.03...

A permutation π is said to be a Dumont permutation of the first kind if each even integer in π must be followed by a smaller integer, and each odd integer is either followed by a larger integer or is the last element of π (see, for example, www.theory.csc.uvic.ca/∼cos/inf/perm/Genocchi Info.html). In Duke Math. J. 41 (1974), 305–318, Dumont showed that certain classes of permutations on n lette...
