Digital systems aim to reduce breast imaging radiation dose
Because modern digital detectors can be tuned to be more efficient than screen-film systems, they automatically lower the radiation dose to the patient while maintaining the image quality radiologists crave. Photon-counting, the method used in Sectra's detector, for example, minimizes patient exposure to radiation. In a 2006 analysis, the British National Health Service Breast Screening Program...
متن کاملUsing relative profits as an alternative to activity-based costing
Activity-based costing (ABC) tries to assign overhead costs to cost objects more accurately than traditional cost systems. However, due to its severe separability and proportionality assumptions using ABC for decision-making may lead to a considerable economic loss. To evaluate products on the basis of their activity-based costs, we therefore use a data envelopment analysis (DEA)-like approach ...
متن کاملSynthetic Morphology Using Alternative Inputs
Designing the shape and size of a cell is an interesting challenge for synthetic biology. Prolonged exposure to the mating pheromone alpha-factor induces an unusual morphology in yeast cells: multiple mating projections. The goal of this work was to reproduce the multiple projections phenotype in the absence of alpha-factor using a gain-of-function approach termed "Alternative Inputs (AIs)". An...
متن کاملEmploying Alternative Number Systems to Reduce Power Dissipation in Portable Devices and High-Performance Systems
P ower dissipation has evolved into an instrumental design optimization objective due to the growing demand for portable electronics equipment as well as due to excessive heat generation in high-performance systems. In the former case , low-power techniques are employed to prolong battery life, while in the latter case, low-power techniques are required to mitigate the reliability problems that...
متن کاملChinmo prevents transformer alternative splicing to maintain male sex identity
Reproduction in sexually dimorphic animals relies on successful gamete production, executed by the germline and aided by somatic support cells. Somatic sex identity in Drosophila is instructed by sex-specific isoforms of the DMRT1 ortholog Doublesex (Dsx). Female-specific expression of Sex-lethal (Sxl) causes alternative splicing of transformer (tra) to the female isoform traF. In turn, TraF al...
