Introduction: In this work, we attempted to correct the non-uniformities generated in lower limbs (calf and thigh) NMRI by RF inhomogeneities. Correction techniques are based in general on prior knowledge about the intensity distribution inside tissues (or tissue magnetic properties) which is not straightforward in case of pathological muscles, as in neuro-muscular disorders. For our applicatio...

Ensuring thermal-uniformity in an integrated circuit chip is very essential for its correct operation. Thus, in the Networkon-Chip (NoC) based system design as well, it is essential to attach cores of the application core graph to the routers in the topology graph so that thermal uniformity across the chip is maintained. However, the performance of the application should not be sacrificed to a ...

Since photoaging of skin is caused by chronic sun exposure, it is well-recognized that regular sunscreen use can help prevent photoaging of skin in fair-skinned people. Therefore, application of sunscreen is recommended for the prevention of photoaging in many countries. However, the relationship between UV exposure and photoaging has rarely been investigated in clinical studies in Japan. In ad...

27 28 The simulation of center-pivot performance has been the subject of research 29 efforts since the 1960s. Center-pivot models frequently use empirical equations 30 relating pressure and sprinkler radial application pattern. Individual, stationary 31 water application patterns are overlapped and the resulting water application is 32 mapped in the field. Such models use constant tower angular...

It is not clear how various wetting agent products affect moisture distribution throughout sand-based putting green rootzones. The objective of this research was to determine how localized dry spot (LDS) incidence, and soil moisture values and uniformity were affected by the application of five commercially available wetting agents. Wetting agents were applied during the 2008 growing season and...

The Cal Poly ITRC irrigation evaluation programs have been widely used to assess the global distribution uniformity (DU) of drip and microsprayer irrigation systems. The field procedures and formulas used in the program are presented in this paper. The system DU is estimated by mathematically combining the component DU values. DU components include pressure differences, "other causes" (such as ...
