Hybrid Phase ordering with Automatic Window Selection (HybridPAWS) improves respiratory-navigator efficiency during 3D late-gadolinium enhancement CMR in patients with chronic heart failure and irregular respiratory pattern. When there is a low gating efficiency (<40%) observed with standard respiratory-gated method, HybridPAWS technique resulted in a significantly greater improvement in naviga...

BACKGROUND This study is aimed at comparing the performance of three continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's POCT05-A guideline, which provides recommendations for performance evaluation of CGM systems. METHODS A total of 12 subjects with type 1 diabetes were enrolled in this study. Each subject wore six CGM systems in parallel, ...

Navigation of novel environments requires an ability to acquire, store, and recall spatial information. A navigator can use this information to generate novel, efficient paths between arbitrarily-chosen locations in the environment. In the first section of this thesis I review relevant recent research into exploration and spatial learning. I examine biologically-inspired computational models of...

A vision of the Semantic Web is to bring the benefits of semantic technologies to a wide audience. Large knowledge bases, such as DBpedia, YAGO, and others have emerged and are freely available as Linked Data and SPARQL endpoints. In this article, we introduce the application DBpedia Navigator, which allows users to navigate, search, and browse within DBpedia and the data sets interlinked with ...

Phase corrections based on readout-asymmetry and navigatorechoes can effectively reduce the motion-related phase errors in multi-shot EPI for diffusion weighted imaging studies. However, occasional involuntary motions might be too severe to be corrected by the navigator echoes. To minimize this effect, kspace data swapping technique is proposed in this study. By replacing the corrupted k-space ...

In this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called Segway PT. This vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. A handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of Segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. Since Segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

In general, high spatial and temporal resolutions in cine cardiac imaging require long scan times, making breath-hold acquisition impossible in many cases. To enable free-breathing cardiac imaging, methods such as navigator gating were developed to reduce image artifacts due to respiratory motion. Nevertheless, residual image blurring is seen in images acquired late in the cardiac cycle. Image ...

Current numerical conformal bootstrap techniques carve out islands in theory space by repeatedly checking whether points are allowed or excluded. We propose a new method for searching that replaces the binary information "allowed"/"excluded" with continuous "navigator" function is negative region and positive excluded region. Such navigator allows one to efficiently explore high-dimensional par...

Introduction MR-guidance is increasingly used for thermo-therapies such as radio frequency, laser (LITT) or focused ultrasound ablation, because MR allows for non-invasive temperature measurements. In the most commonly applied proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift thermometry, temperature differences are calculated based on phase variations with respect to a reference baseline. Since there is ...
