in this paper some new applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) and hilbert spectrum in seismic ground-roll attenuation, random noise attenuation and spectral decomposition are introduced. hilbert spectrum is a time-frequency representation for hilbert-huang transform which is obtained by combination of instantaneous frequency (if) concept and intrinsic mode function of empirical mode...

Objective(s): A novel IQ-SPECTTM method has become widely used in clinical studies. The present study compares the quality of myocardial perfusion images (MPI) acquired using the IQ-SPECTTM (IQ-mode),conventional (180° apart: C-mode) and L-mode (90° apart: L-mode) systems. We assessed spatial resolution, image reproducibility and quantifiability using various physical phantoms. Materials and Me...

In this paper we consider the non-preemptive variant of a multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with mode identity, in which a set of project activities is partitioned into disjoint subsets while all activities forming one subset have to be processed in the same mode. We present a depth-first branch and bound algorithm for the resource constrained project schedulin...

abstractbackground : in order to quantify effects of ultrasound irradiation parameters under therapeutic condition, especially sonodynamic therapy, it is initially necessary to evaluate inertial cavitation activity in vitro conditions therefore, in this study, the effect of 1 mhz low level ultrasound based on °oh radicals generated by acoustic inertial cavitation in aqueous solution was monitor...

abstract: in this study, al 2 o 3 –sic nanocomposites have been fabricated by mixing of alumina powder containing 0.05% weight magnesium oxide and silicon carbide nano powders, followed by hot pressing at 1650 0 c. the mechanical properties of al 2 o 3 -sic nanocomposites containing different volume fraction (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15%) of nano scale sic particles were investigated and compared wi...
