Brain edema (BE) research lacks quantitative regional methods. We modified the method of Pappius and McCann (1969), who used radioactive iodinated P serum albumin (R1SA) as a label for vasogenic BE fluid. To correct for intravascular plasma volume we used Cr^ labelled red blood cells and calculated equivalent extravascular plasma volume (EVPV). The modified RISA method was compared with a stand...

Joint estimation of carrier frequency and direction of arrival (DOA) for multiple signals has been found in many practical applications such as Cognitive Radio (CR). However, Nyquist sampling mechanism is costly or implemented due to wide spectrum range. Taking advantage of sub-Nyquist sampling technology, some array receiver architectures are proposed to realize joint estimation of carrier fre...

For m < n, any real analytic m-submanifold of complex n-space with a non-degenerate CR singularity is shown to be locally equivalent, under a formal holomorphic coordinate change, to a xed real algebraic variety de ned by linear and quadratic polynomials. The situation is analogous to Whitney's stability theorem for cross-cap singularities of smooth maps. The formal coordinate change is obtaine...

Zigzag functions were deened by Brassard, Cr epeau and SS antha 1] in connection with an application to the construction of oblivious transfers (a useful tool in cryptographic protocols). They proved that linear zigzag functions are equivalent to self-intersecting codes, which have been studied by several researchers. In this paper, we begin an investigation of general (linear or non-linear) zi...

the purpose of this work was to develop once daily sustained release (sr) matrix tablets of naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent. the tablets were prepared by wet granulation method along with hydrophilic matrix materials like methocel k 15m cr and methocel k 100m cr. the granules were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content. the table...

objective: using megavoltage photons generated by medical linear accelerator is a common modality for the treatment of malignant. the crucial problem for using photon beams >8mv is the photoneutron yields that increase the risk of secondary cancer that treated with high-energy photon beams. the contaminated neutrons produced in different components of the accelerator head and rely on many param...

Electrodeposition is a simple and economic technique for precision coating of different shaped substrates with pure metal, alloy or composite films. Dc electrodeposition was used to produce Cr, Co-Cr and Co-Cr/TiO2 nano-composite coatings from Cr(III) based electrolytes onto 316L SS substrates. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration on co-deposition of these particles along with Cr con...

PURPOSE Studies attributing gains in strength and lean body mass (LBM) to creatine monohydrate (CrM) during resistance exercise (RE) training have not assessed these changes alongside cellular and subcellular adaptations. Additionally, CrM-treated groups have seldom been compared with a group receiving a placebo similar in nitrogen and energy. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect...
