Finite-rank expansions of the two-body resolvent operator are explored as a tool for calculating the full three-dimensional two-body T -matrix without invoking the partial-wave decomposition. The separable expansions of the full resolvent that follow from finite-rank approximations of the free resolvent are employed in the Low equation to calculate the T-matrix elements. The finite-rank expansi...

background: providing a cross-sectional image is essential for preimplant assessments. computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct (cbct) images are very expensive and provide high radiation dose. tangential projection is a very simple, available, and low-dose technique that can be used in the anterior portion of mandible. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of tangential proje...

In the primary somatosensory cortex (SI), the body surface is mapped in a relatively continuous fashion, with adjacent body regions represented in adjacent cortical domains. In contrast, somatosensory maps found in regions of the cerebellar hemispheres, which are influenced by the SI through a monosynaptic link in the pontine nuclei, are discontinuous ("fractured") in organization. To elucidate...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014205407 DESCRIPTION Recognition of the truncation artefact is important for the control of image quality on myocardial perfusion images in single-photon emission CT (SPECT). Truncation artefact is usually seen in obese patients who may deviate from a γ-ray detector fi...

Environmental change continually perturbs populations from a stable state, leading to transient dynamics that can last multiple generations. Several long-term studies have reported changes in trait distributions along with demographic response to environmental change. Here we conducted an experimental study on soil mites and investigated the interaction between demography and an individual trai...

Hilbert frames theory have been extended to frames in Hilbert $C^*$-modules. The paper introduces equivalent $*$-frames and presents ordinary duals of a constructed $*$-frame by an adjointable and invertible operator. Also, some necessary and sufficient conditions are studied such that $*$-frames and ordinary duals or operator duals of another $*$-frames are equivalent under these conditions. W...

The most important factor in pedestrian injuries from vehicle collisions is the impact velocity. In cases where the impact configuration can be ascertained, the most common method now used to determine vehicle speed involves the pedestrian projection distance. The more traditional method of using tyre brakemarks is losing applicability as ABS braking systems becomemore common. The two most comm...

A GABAergic component has been identified in the projection from the inferior colliculus (IC) to the medial geniculate body (MG) in cats and rats. We sought to determine if this GABAergic pathway exists in guinea pig, a species widely used in auditory research. The guinea pig IC contains GABAergic cells, but their relative abundance in the IC and their relative contributions to tectothalamic pr...
