The diagnostic accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is profoundly influenced by attenuation phenomenon. Soft tissue attenuation degrades cardiac SPECT image quality, thereby decreasing the possibility of the detection of the lesions. A variety of correction techniques based on different assumptions have been used to reduce the impact of attenuation. Several types of sy...

potential fields are due to complex distribution of sources related to susceptibility and mass density variations for magnetic and gravity field respectively. in researching the lateral heterogeneous of different geological bodies, in particular their edge location potential field has some advantages. we mainly refer to linear features such as fault, folding axis, dyke, trend and border of the ...

The paper introduces an algorithm which allows the automatic segmentation of multi channel magnetic resonance images. We extended the Expectation Maximization-Mean Field Approximation Segmenter, to include Local Prior Probability Maps. Thereby our algorithm estimates the bias field in the image while simultaneously assigning voxels to different tissue classes under prior probability maps. The p...

In the present paper we initiate the study of the product higher rank numerical range. The latter, being a variant of the higher rank numerical range [M.–D. Choi et al., Rep. Math. Phys. 58, 77 (2006); Lin. Alg. Appl. 418, 828 (2006)], is a natural tool for studying a construction of quantum error correction codes for multiple access channels. We review properties of this set and relate it to o...

We only see a small fraction of the matter in the universe, but the rest gives itself away by the impact of its gravity. The distortions from pure Hubble flow (or peculiar velocities) that this matter creates have the potential to be a powerful cosmological tool, but are also a nuisance for extragalactic astronomers who wish to use redshifts to estimate distances to local galaxies. We provide a...

Abstract A solution technique is proposed for flows in porous media that guarantees local conservation of mass. We first compute a flux field to balance the mass source and then exploit exact co-chain complexes generate solenoidal correction. reduced basis method based on proper orthogonal decomposition employed construct correction we show ensured regardless quality approximation. The directly...
