Polycyclic Hydrocarbons. In their Communication (e202304937), Chunyan Chi et al. report the synthesis and isolation in single-crystal form of two fused indacene dimer isomers. Both isomers display an open-shell singlet ground state.

This paper describes a new class of fused image displays called hybrid fused displays. Such displays can be created by gradually transforming a fused image computed by one fusion method into another fused image computed by a different fusion method, either in the spatial domain or in another domain. By defining either global image-to-image or local region-toregion mapping(s) between the two key...

This study is a retrospective analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of FDOPA PET with MRI fusion to FDOPA PET without MRI fusion. Clinical FDOPA PET scans obtained between 2000 and 2008 at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics were assessed using measures derived from regions of interest (ROI) generated with fused MRI (fused group) and again with ROIs derived solely from PET data (non-...

AIM Ossification of the ligamentumflavum (OLF) is a primary cause of thoracic myelopathy. A relatively safe surgical technique based on radiological type is described for the OLF-induced thoracic myelopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty patients with thoracic myelopathy caused by OLF were studied retrospectively. The OLF was divided into fused and non-fused types according to the CT and MRI fin...

Gene fusion produces proteins with novel structural architectures during evolution. Recent comparative genome analysis shows several cases of fusion/fission across distant phylogeny. However, the selection forces driving gene fusion are not fully understood due to the lack of structural, dynamics and kinetics data. Available structural data at PDB (protein databank) contains limited cases of st...

a novel hybrid multifocus image fusion method. First, the source multifocus images are decomposed using the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). The low-frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by the sum-modified-Laplacian-based local visual contrast, whereas the high-frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by the local Log-Gabor energy. The initial fused image is subsequently reconst...
