The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes on the visual quality and quantification of (18)F-FDG PET images in neurological PET/CT examinations. For this purpose, the scans of 20 epilepsy patients with EEG monitoring were used. The CT data were reconstructed with filtered backprojection (FBP) and with a metal artefact reduction (MAR) algorithm. ...

We present an architecture and software framework for semantic allies: Semantic systems that complement existing software applications with semantic services and interactions based on a background ontology. On the one hand, our Semantic Alliance framework follows an invasive approach: Users can profit from semantic technology without having to leave their accustomed workflows and tools. On the ...

Crosslinked natural rubber and synthetic samples are additivated with up to 9 wt% stearic acid (StA) better understand the influence of StA on melting temperature Tm strain-induced crystallized poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) crystals. To this end, lamellae thicknesses determined from wide-angle x-ray patterns used calculate crystal size dependent Tm,calc. Comparing measured Tm,calc reveals that deviate...

SUMMARY emPAI Calc is an open-source web application for the estimation of protein abundance. It uses the correlation between the number of identified peptides and protein abundance in mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiments. The program is the first implementation of our previously reported emPAI algorithm; it calculates the emPAI from the protein identification results obtained by datab...

[1] This paper continues an investigation into the zenith angular effect of cloud-contamination within “clear-sky” infrared (IR) radiance observations commonly used in the retrieval of environmental data records (EDRs), which include “cloud-cleared radiances” (as is typical from hyper/ultra spectral IR sounders), as well as “cloud-masked” data (as is typical from imagers). The simple probabilit...

Accurate G3(MP2)-RAD calculations are used to predict 264 R-H, R-CH3, R-Cl and R-R bond dissociation energies for a wide-ranging test set of carbon and non-carbon centred R˙ radicals. The data are used to calculate a set of inherent and transferrable radical stabilization energies, denoted RSEEt, which ranks the inherent stability of the 66 radicals studied on the same relative scale, irrespect...

Smith, D. R. and Leeman, W. P., 1993. The origin of Mount St. Helens andesites. J. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res., 55: 271-303. Mount St. Helens volcano has intermittently produced mainly dacitic products but occasionally erupted a more diverse suite of lavas including basalts and andesites. Petrogenetic relations between these magmas provide insight into the dynamics of the subjacent magma system. M...
