Compressed Sensing (CS) or Compressive Sampling is a recent technique to accurately reconstruct sparse signals from under sampled measurements acquired below the Shannon-Nyquist rate. In this article, we present a CS based method for accelerating the reconstruction of the Ensemble Average Propagator (EAP), also known as the Propagator in Diffusion MRI (dMRI), by significantly reducing the numbe...

The role of adenosine A3 receptors and their distribution in the gastrointestinal tract have been widely investigated. Most of the reports discuss their role in intestinal inflammations. However, the role of adenosine A3 receptor agonist in pancreatitis has not been well established. The aim of this study is [corrected] to evaluate the effects of the adenosine A3 receptor agonist on the course ...

the notion of genre has received a great deal of attention both in discourse analytic studies as well as in the field of esp/eap course design. the present paper has attempted to use genre analysis to account for the rhetorical features of research article introductions written by iranian academics in two disciplinary fields of education and economics. the corpus comprised 40 research article i...

English for Academic Purposes (EAP), which is a branch of English for specific purposes (ESP), focuses instruction on skills required to perform in an English-speaking academic context across core subject areas. For Chinese graduates whose mother tongue is not English, EAP teaching consists of four parts, which are academic listening, academic reading, academic listening and academic writing. T...

Hypophosphatasia is an inherited disorder of bone, which is thought to be transmitted by a recessive gene. The homozygous form of the disease presents with a well-defined clinical picture and two biochemical abnormalities: lowered serum alkaline phosphatase and excessive urinary excretion of ethanolamine phosphate (EAP). Heterozygous carriers are usually not manifest clinically, but it has been...

Staphylococcus aureus reacts to changing environmental conditions such as heat, pH, and chemicals through global regulators such as the sae (S. aureus exoprotein expression) two-component signaling system. Subinhibitory concentrations of some antibiotics were shown to increase virulence factor expression. Here, we investigated the S. aureus stress response to sublethal concentrations of a commo...

La hidroclorotiazida (HCT) es un diurético de la familia de las tiazidas muy empleado para la hipertensión arterial sistémica (HTA) y estados edematosos1. Son bien conocidos sus efectos secundarios más comunes como: alteraciones electrolíticas, debilidad, espasmos musculares, trastornos gastrointestinales e hiperuricemia. Pero hay descritas reacciones idiosincrásicas menos frecuentes y de mayor...

In this paper I plan to explore the relationship between critical approaches to literacy and the selection of EAP reading texts, taking Australia’s colonial and post-colonial society as an example of a theme around which discussion of text selection will revolve. Drawing, for example, on the writings of Benesch (1993, 1996) and Pennycook (1989, 1994, 1997), I suggest that by reconceptualising t...

Smart materials have been widely used for control actuation. In this paper, we present a microscale position control system using a novel electroactive polymer (EAP). We built a third-order model based on the system identification of the EAP actuator with an autoregressive moving average with exogenous input (ARMAX) method using a chirp signal input from 0.01 Hz to 1 Hz with the magnitude limit...
