Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a novel imaging technology to improve early breast cancer detection. It provides three-dimensional information of the breast to overcome the critical issues of overlapping anatomical structures of the breast. Among current available DBT reconstruction algorithms, Maximum Likelihood Expectation-Maximisation (MLEM) is a time-consuming iterative method to reco...

In Qinglong ore field, the paleo-oil reservoir is found to be associated with antimony deposits, and they have a close genetic relationship. this study, aromatics geochemistry of bitumen was studied further discuss thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) reaction mechanism mineralization. A total 124 aromatic compounds were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis in s...

The effects of Mg and Zn dopants on the catalytic performance Pt/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated for dehydrogenation perhydrodibenzyltoluene (H18-DBT) as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier. Al2O3 supports modified with to produce Mg-Al2O3 Zn-Al2O3 target loading 3.8 wt.% dopants. impregnated chloroplatinic acid solution catalysts Pt/Al2O3, Pt/Mg-Al2O3 Pt/Zn-Al2O3 0.5 Pt loading. Thereafter, cha...

Recent papers have reported the usefulness of DBT as the latest diagnostic modality for breast cancer [1]-[6]. In this chapter, the author describes clinical evaluation of the usefulness regarding DBT with reference to other diagnostic modalities such as Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM), contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI, contrast-enhanced (CE) CT, and ultrasound (US) in accordance with prelimina...

PURPOSE To determine the initial digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) performance of radiology trainees with varying degrees of breast imaging experience. METHODS To test trainee performance with DBT, we performed a reader study, after obtaining IRB approval. Two medical students, 20 radiology residents, 4 nonbreast imaging fellows, 3 breast imaging fellows, and 3 fellowship-trained breast imag...

A common feature of animal circadian clocks is the progressive phosphorylation of PERIOD (PER) proteins, which is highly dependent on casein kinase Idelta/epsilon (CKIdelta/epsilon; termed DOUBLETIME [DBT] in Drosophila) and ultimately leads to the rapid degradation of hyperphosphorylated isoforms via a mechanism involving the F-box protein, beta-TrCP (SLIMB in Drosophila). Here we use the Dros...

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)-based skills training has been developed and previously evaluated for adults with ADHD in a psychiatric outpatient context. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of DBT-based skills training as a voluntary intervention for men with ADHD in compulsory care due to severe substance abuse. Forty sufficiently detoxified men with ADHD in compu...

OBJECTIVE At present, the most frequently investigated psychosocial intervention for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the efficacy and long-term effectiveness of DBT. METHOD Systematic bibliographic research was undertaken to find relevant literature from online databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, PsychSpider, Medlin...

We investigated the biodesulfurization potential of a mixed culture AK6 enriched from petroleum hydrocarbons-polluted soil with dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a sulfur source. In addition to DBT, AK6 utilized the following compounds as sulfur sources: 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT), benzothiophene (BT), and 4,6- dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DM-DBT). None of these compounds supported the growth o...
