Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...

Abstract: Innovations, commercialized by new or old established firms, located at the core of industrial renewal process. The innovation concept has suffered transformations, along with the evolution of the models that try to explain and understand the innovation process. The innovative process corresponds to all activities that generate technological changes and the dynamic interaction between...

The chemical components in the decoctions of Chinese herbal medicines are not always the same as those in the crude herbs because of the insolubility or instability of some compounds. In this work, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to explore dynamic variation patterns of aconitum alkaloids in...

in order to determinate appropriate stability parameters, six statistics were studied for flower yield stability of 35 rosa damascena landraces in 8 locations over two years (2007-8) in iran, using a randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. a positive correlation between environmental variance (s2) and flower yield suggested that only low yield landraces develop a similar phenotyp...

Process Variation Aware DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) Design Using Block-Based Adaptive Body Biasing Algorithm

In the first part of this paper we establish the theory of rapid variation on time scales, which corresponds to existing theory from continuous and discrete cases. We introduce two definitions of rapid variation on time scales. We will study their properties and then show the relation between them. In the second part of this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for all positi...

The article introduces the concept of snapshot dynamic indices as centrality measures to analyse how the importance of nodes changes over time in dynamic networks. In particular, the dynamic stress-snapshot and dynamic betweenness snapshot are investigated. We present theoretical results on dynamic shortest paths in firstin first-out dynamic networks, and then introduce some algorithms for comp...

This work focuses on dynamic regret of online convex optimization that compares the performance of online learning to a clairvoyant who knows the sequence of loss functions in advance and hence selects the minimizer of the loss function at each step. By assuming that the clairvoyant moves slowly (i.e., the minimizers change slowly), we present several improved variationbased upper bounds of the...
