A model of the signal path in arterial spin labeling (ASL)-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is presented. Three subtraction-based methods for forming a perfusion estimate are considered and shown to be specific cases of a generalized estimate consisting of a modulator followed by a low pass filter. The performance of the methods is evaluated using the signal model. Contaminati...

human brain function for the past decade (see Roland [1] for review). Intersubject analysis is essential (2) because physiologi cal changes, such as altered regional cerebral blood flow, are usually too slight compared with noise caused by random decay ofnucide to allow statistically significant inference with a single thtaset. It also aims at determining the average and common findings applica...

Interpolation is required in a variety of medical image processing applications. Although many interpolation techniques are known from the literature, evaluations of these techniques for the specific task of applying geometrical transformations to medical images are still lacking. In this paper we present such an evaluation. We consider convolution-based interpolation methods and rigid transfor...

sinc-galerkin method based upon double exponential transformation for solving troesch's problem was given in this study. properties of the sinc-galerkin approach were utilized to reduce the solution of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem to same nonlinear algebraic equations, also, the matrix form of the nonlinear algebraic equations was obtained.the error bound of the method was fo...

We test the Sinc function representation, a novel method for numerically evaluating Feynman diagrams, by using it to evaluate the three-loop master diagrams. Analytical results have been obtained for all these diagrams, and we find excellent agreement between our calculations and the exact values. The Sinc function representation converges rapidly, and it is straightforward to obtain accuracies...

We extend our new approach for numeric evaluation of Feynman diagrams to integrals that include fermionic and vector propagators. In this initial discussion we begin by deriving the Sinc function representation for the propagators of spin1 2 and spin-1 fields and exploring their properties. We show that the attributes of the spin-0 propagator which allowed us to derive the Sinc function represe...

The present study investigates the Haar-Sinc collocation method for the solution of the hyperbolic partial telegraph equations. The advantages of this technique are that not only is the convergence rate of Sinc approximation exponential but the computational speed also is high due to the use of the Haar operational matrices. This technique is used to convert the problem to the solution of linea...

Sinc-collocation scheme is one of the new techniques used in solving numerical problems involving integral equations. This method has been shown to be a powerful numerical tool for finding fast and accurate solutions. So, in this paper, some properties of the Sinc-collocation method required for our subsequent development are given and are utilized to reduce integral equation of the first kind ...

We show that a variety of trigonometric sums have unexpected closed forms by relating them to cognate integrals. 1 Motivation Recall that sinc(x) := sin(x)/x when x 6= 0 and sinc(0) := 1. In [4] and [8], it was shown that, for N = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, ∫ ∞
