To understand factors that affect brain connectivity and integrity, it is beneficial to automatically cluster white matter (WM) fibers into anatomically recognizable tracts. Whole brain tractography, based on diffusion-weighted MRI, generates vast sets of fibers throughout the brain; clustering them into consistent and recognizable bundles can be difficult as there are wide individual variation...

Methanol limited fed-batch cultivation was applied for production of a plant derived beta-glucosidase by Pichia pastoris. The beta-glucosidase was recovered by expanded bed adsorption chromatography applied to the whole culture broth. The new Streamline Direct HST1 adsorbent was compared with Streamline SP. Higher bead density made it possible to operate at two times higher feedstock concentrat...

The investigation of the climate system is one of the most exciting areas of scientific research today. In the climate system, oceanic and atmospheric flows play a critical role. Because these flows are very complex in the span of temporal and spatial scales, effective computer visualization techniques are crucial to the analysis and understanding of the flows. However, the existing techniques ...

In this paper, we investigate adaptive streamline upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) methods for second order convection-diffusion-reaction equations with singular perturbation in a new dual norm presented [17] . The flux can be recovered two different manners: local averaging conforming H ( div ) spaces, and weighted global L 2 projection onto spaces. We further propose recovery stabilization proce...

BACKGROUND The most frequently used method for fiber tractography based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is associated with restrictions in the resolution of crossing or kissing fibers and in the vicinity of tumor or edema. Tractography based on high-angular-resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) is capable of overcoming this restriction. With compressed sensing (CS) techniques, HARDI acquisitio...

Objective: This paper tests the hypothesis that the value-stream mapping (VSM) method, based on Lean thinking, could help streamline the care process for patients with oesophageal cancer.

This book is organized into eight chapters. The first three gently introduce the basic principles of hybrid high-order methods on a linear diffusion problem, key ideas underlying mathematical analysis, and some useful variants method as well links to other from literature. following four present various challenging applications solid mechanics, including elasticity hyperelasticity, elastodynami...

pomegranate tree possesses a vast ethnomedical history and represents a phytochemical reservoir of heuristic medicinal value. in the present study, total phenolics, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of pomegranate peel were determined by folin–ciocalteu, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) and disk-diffusion methods, respectively, and compared among the accessions. methanolic extract g...
