Many cities in Europe still have walls left over from an earlier era. I been to the Tallinn, Estonia, and Valetta, Malta, which is particularly impressive as you approach harbor sea. These were built keep out invading armies, but they also kept bandits small bands of marauders. Inside walls, residents relatively safe.

BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of invasion to the adjacent organs is important for the thymic epithelial tumors on CT. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the utility of electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CT for assessing thymic epithelial tumors with regard to the motion artifacts produced and the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of the technique. MATERIAL/METHODS Forty thymic epitheli...

Abstract. A subgraph H of a graph G is gated if for every x ∈ V (G) there exists a vertex u in H such that dG(x, v) = dG(x, u) + dG(u, v) for any v ∈ V (H). The gated amalgam of graphs G1 and G2 is obtained from G1 and G2 by identifying their isomorphic gated subgraphs H1 and H2. Two theorems on the Wiener index of gated amalgams are proved. Several known results on the Wiener index of (chemica...

The clinical use of respiratory-gated radiotherapy and the application of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are 2 relatively new innovations to the treatment of lung cancer. Respiratory gating can reduce the deleterious effects of intrafraction motion, and IMRT can concurrently increase tumor dose homogeneity and reduce dose to critical structures including the lungs, spinal cord, esophag...

This paper develops a depth-gated recurrent neural network (DGRNN) with self-attention mechanism (SAM) based on long-short-term memory (LSTM)\gated unit (GRU) \Just Another NETwork (JANET) to improve the accuracy of credit spread prediction. The empirical results U.S. bond market indicate that DGRNN model is more effective than traditional machine learning methods. Besides, we discovered Depth-...

UNLABELLED Electrocardiographically (ECG) gated myocardial SPECT with (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin has been used widely to assess left ventricular (LV) function. However, the accuracy of variables using ECG gated myocardial SPECT with beta-methyl-p-(123)I-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) has not been well defined. METHODS Thirty-six patients (29 men, 7 women; mean age, 61.6 +/- 15.6 y) with ischem...
