How Embryonic Cartilage Grows: Insights Gained from Quantitative Live Imaging

Insights into coronary artery disease gained from metabolic imaging.

Positron emission tomography offers the possibility of evaluating and quantifying regional myocardial blood flow and metabolism. Used in patients with coronary artery disease, positron emission tomography has demonstrated sustained metabolic activity in regions with reduced blood flow and impaired contractile function, and it thereby enables differentiation between viable myocardium and myocard...

Insights Gained from Realistic Simulations

This chapter discusses the insights gained from simulations using realistic propagation model. Speci cally the performance in terms of coverage and achievable bit rates, and topologies formed are dealt with. It is shown that the topologies formed in mesh networks pave way for development of new protocols. Speci cally, an e cient paging protocol for urban mesh network setting is developed that m...

How tight is the corner relaxation? Insights gained from the stable set problem

The corner relaxation of a mixed-integer linear program is a central concept in cutting plane theory. In a recent paper Fischetti and Monaci provide an empirical assessment of the strength of the corner and other related relaxations on benchmark problems. In this paper we give a precise characterization of the bounds given by these relaxations for the edge formulation of the maximum stable set ...

Insights gained from three-dimensional imaging modalities for closure of ventricular septal defects.

Quantitative Cartilage Imaging in Knee Osteoarthritis

Quantitative measures of cartilage morphology (i.e., thickness) represent potentially powerful surrogate endpoints in osteoarthritis (OA). These can be used to identify risk factors of structural disease progression and can facilitate the clinical efficacy testing of structure modifying drugs in OA. This paper focuses on quantitative imaging of articular cartilage morphology in the knee, and wi...
