The Algorithm of AAES

Acute non-renal adverse events after unenhanced and enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Aim: Investigating the incidence of non-renal acute adverse events (AAEs) in patients undergoing unenhanced or enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) (four groups) using the active interview-method. Methods: The imaging procedure followed the standards of the department. Furthermore, the iodine-based (nonionic monomer) and gadolinium-based (cyclic) contrast agent was the s...

Functional gradients of auditory sensitivity along the anterior ectosylvian sulcus of the cat.

Determining the spatial direction of sound sources is one of the major computations performed by the auditory system. The anterior ectosylvian sulcus (AES) of cat cortex is known to be important for sound localization. However, there are contradicting reports as to the spatial response properties of neurons in AES: whereas some studies found narrowly tuned neurons, others reported mostly spatia...

The impact of biogenic carbon sources on aerosol absorption in Mexico City

In order to determine the wavelength dependence of fine (<1 micron) atmospheric aerosol absorption in the Mexico City area, the absorption Ångstrom exponents (AAEs) were calculated from hourly averages of aerosol absorption measured at seven wavelengths (370, 450, 520, 590, 660, 880, and 950 nm) with an aethalometer during two field campaigns, the Mexico City Metropolitan Area study in April 20...

Quantifying Light Absorption of Iron Oxides and Carbonaceous Aerosol in Seasonal Snow across Northern China

In this study, we attempted to quantify light absorption by insoluble light-absorbing particles (ILAPs) such as black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC) and iron oxides in snow using an optical method directly and compared the results with those obtained using optical and chemical analysis methods cooperatively in previous studies. The mass absorption coefficients (MACs) and absorption Ångström e...
