Eigenvector centrality mapping (ECM) has recently emerged as a measure to spatially characterize connectivity in functional brain imaging by attributing network properties to voxels. The main obstacle for widespread use of ECM in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the cost of computing and storing the connectivity matrix. This article presents fast ECM (fECM), an efficient algorith...

BACKGROUND Soil-transmitted helminths and intestinal protozoa infection are widespread in developing countries, yet an accurate diagnosis is rarely performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the recently developed mini-FLOTAC method and to compare with currently more widely used techniques for the diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections in different settings. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL ...

As an important global policy guide to promote economic transformation and upgrading, the upsurge of E-Commerce has been continuously upgraded with continuous breakthroughs in information technology. In recent years, China’s e-commerce consumer credit developed well, but due its short time production insufficient experience for reference, risk, fraud regulatory risk continue emerge. Aiming at p...

Measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow parameters such as Gas Void Fraction (GVF) and phase distribution plays a vital role in oil gas industries. To quantitatively evaluate the performance Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) for measuring complex dynamic flows, three-dimensional fluid dynamics-electrostatic field coupling model (3D-FECM) is proposed this paper. Coupling simulation are carri...

Microbes in fragmented environments profit from yield-efficient metabolic strategies, which allow for a maximal number of cells. In contrast, cells in well-mixed, nutrient-rich environments need to grow and divide fast to out-compete others. Paradoxically, a fast growth can entail wasteful, yield-inefficient modes of metabolism and smaller cell numbers. Therefore, general trade-offs between bio...

In this article, the influence of hydrostatic stress and gravity on a clamped- free non homogeneous magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cross sections is studied using linear theory of elasticity. The equations of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity are applied under the plane strain assumption of prestressed and gravitated magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cros...
