Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTMRI), also known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), needs post processing by adequate image analysis and visualization tools. White matter tractography using DTI is becoming a routine MR technique to study white matter properties, connectivity, and alterations of fiber integrity due to pathology. The success of the method depends on the accuracy of...

in today’s quality- based competitive world, known as knowledge age, customer attraction is of ultimate importance. in respect to the slogan “customer is always right”, customer relation management is the core of an organizational strategy playing an important role in four aspects of customer identification, customer attraction, customer retaining, and customer satisfaction. commercial organiza...

By using averaging functions, several new oscillation criteria are established for the half-linear damped differential equation-2-2-2-2 r(t) (x) +p(t) |x| x,r(t) (x) +q(t)|x| x=0, dx dx dx dx dt dt dt dt α α α α ψ ϕ ψ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ and the more general equation-2-2 r(t) (x) +p(t) g(x),r(t) (x) +q(t)g(x)=0, d dx dx dx dx dt dt dt dt dt α α ψ ϕ ψ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ...

is cheap (2), where Dt ∈ Rd×q and q min{d, n}. We employ three di erent sketching strategies: 1) gauss. Dt has standard Gaussian entries sampled i.i.d at each iteration. 2) prev. Let dt = −Htgt. Store search directions Dt = [dt+1−q , . . . , dt] and update Ht once every q iterations. 3) fact. Sample Ct ⊆ {1, . . . , d} uniformly at random and set Dt = Lt−1I:Ct ,where Lt−1L T t−1 = Ht−1 and I:Ct...

Two recombinant fragments of diphtheria toxin (DT) were fused to an engineered tandem repeat of the immunoglobulin (Ig) binding domain of protein A, called ZZ. These fragments are (i) the receptor binding domain (DTR), which comprises amino acids 382 to 535 of DT, and (ii) a linear peptide (DT(168-220)) which comprises residues 168 to 220 of the loop between fragment A and fragment B of DT. The...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to establish a minimally invasive defibrillation testing (DT) protocol for patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). METHODS Two different energy DTs were performed, immediately after (15 J-DT) and 7 days after (≤10 J-DT) device implantation, in 20 consecutive ICD implantation patients. Cardiac-troponin T (c-TNT) and heart-type fatty ac...

AIM To optimize the hepatobiliary phase delay time (HBP-DT) of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GED-MRI) for more efficient identification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in different degrees of cirrhosis assessed by Child-Pugh (CP) score. METHODS The liver parenchyma signal intensity (LPSI), the liver parenchyma (LP)/HCC signal ratios, and the visibility of HCC at...
