OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare two short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences, Cartesian and radial (BLADE) acquisitions, for breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six women underwent 1.5 T breast MRI exam (48 Cartesian and 48 BLADE). Qualitative analysis including image artifacts, image quality, fat-suppression, chest-wall d...

The use of overset grids in CFD started more than two decades ago, and has achieved tremendous success in handling complex geometries. In particular, overset grids have the advantage of avoiding grid remeshing when dealing with moving boundary flow problems. Traditionally overset grids were mainly used with structured grids to simplify the grid generation process, because a complex computationa...

Introduction: In recent years, non-Cartesian k-space trajectories such as radials and spirals have gained increased attention owing to mild appearance of artifacts from flow, chemical shift and undersampling, increased efficiency and intrinsic self-navigating properties. Remaining challenges of imaging with non-Cartesian trajectories include the lack of practical methods to optimize their perfo...

This paper is concerned with the fast computation of a relation d on the edge set of connected graphs that plays a decisive role in the recognition of approximate Cartesian products, the weak reconstruction of Cartesian products, and the recognition of Cartesian graph bundles with a triangle free basis. A special case of d is the relation δ, whose convex closure yields the product relation σ th...

We show that the cartesian closed category of compactly generated Hausdorff spaces is regular, but is neither exact, nor locally cartesian closed. In fact we find a coequalizer of an equivalence relation which is not stable under pullbacks.

By the sorting method of vertices, the equitable chromatic number and the equitable chromatic threshold of the Cartesian products of wheels with bipartite graphs are obtained. Key–Words: Cartesian product, Equitable coloring, Equitable chromatic number, Equitable chromatic threshold

in this paper, the weighted szeged indices of cartesian product and corona product of twoconnected graphs are obtained. using the results obtained here, the weighted szeged indices ofthe hypercube of dimension n, hamming graph, c4 nanotubes, nanotorus, grid, t− fold bristled,sunlet, fan, wheel, bottleneck graphs and some classes of bridge graphs are computed.

In this paper we reconstruct nontrivial connected Cartesian product graphs from single vertex deleted subgraphs. We show that all one-vertex extensions of a given connected graph H, nite or innnite, to a nontrivial Cartesian product are isomorphic.
