OBJECTIVES Accurate mu maps are important for quantitative image reconstruction in SPECT. The Compton scatter energy window (CSW) technique has been proposed to define the outline of objects. In this technique, a lower energy window image is acquired in addition to the main photo-peak energy window. The image of the lower energy window is used to estimate the edge of the scanned object to produ...

Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) syndrome is an important cause of hyponatremia in head injuries apart from syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Proper diagnosis and differentiation between these two entities are necessary for management as the treatment is quite opposite in both conditions. Fludrocortisone can help in managing CSW where alone saline infusion does not work. We rep...

This paper presents exible support for asynchronous sharing (later-time use) of computer-supported workspaces (CSWs), or simply replayable workspaces. Through the interactive replay of a previously recorded CSW session, it is possible to reuse valuable collaborative information. The session is represented through heterogeneous media streams each containing state and inputs to a CSW tool. We pre...

An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of decision making units (DMUs) in fuzzy data envelopment analysis is a set of virtual multipliers or weights accorded to each (input or output) factor taken into account. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs, and in some cases it may be considered unacceptable that the same fact...

with cSW determined nonperturbatively by the Alpha collaboration. (For details see [1,2] and references thereof.) Our runs consist of 104 quenched configurations, at β = 6.2 and volume 24 × 48. We consider 7 values of the hopping parameter κ, and all their nondegenerate flavor combinations. We run at the improved value cSW = 1.61375065 and also, for comparison, at cSW = 0. We have considered po...

The anomalous strengthening of the stratospheric Aleutian High during early boreal winter 2016/2017 led to a rare Canadian warming (CSW) event, which extent wind reversal in Arctic region is strongest among CSWs since 2001. Unlike sudden warmings, polar vortex this CSW merely distorted, not displaced off pole or split into two pieces, and mean temperature only has modest increase few kelvins. U...

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing protein Daughter of Sevenless (DOS) is an essential component of the Sevenless receptor tyrosine kinase (SEV) signaling cascade, which specifies R7 photoreceptor development in the Drosophila eye. Previous results have suggested that DOS becomes tyrosine phosphorylated during SEV signaling and collaborates with the protein tyrosine phosphatase CSW....

Severe drought is a notable feature of the hydrology of Central Southwest (CSW) Asia. Although studies have linked the region’s interannual precipitation variability to remote forcings that include East Asia Jet Stream variability and Western Pacific tropical convection, atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) forced by observed sea surface temperatures demonstrate little skill in simulat...
