Echo-planar imaging (EPI) commonly suffers from ghosting artifacts caused by zero- or first-order phase differences between the odd and even echoes that constitute an EPI dataset. Small-bore imaging systems with shielded gradients may suffer significantly from cross-term eddy currents due to the high degree of manufacturing precision required in such systems compared to larger whole-body coils....

the rapid scaling in modern cmos technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (adc) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. an exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. this paper is going to review the recent development in t...

Ion-exchange on glass is one of the major technological platforms that are available to manufacture low-cost, high performance Planar Lightwave Circuits (PLC). In this paper, principle ion-exchanged waveguide realization presented. Then a review main achievements observed over last 30 years will be given. The focus first made devices for telecommunications (passive and active ones) before appli...

We present compact integrable architectures to perform the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the wavelet packet (WP) decomposition of an optical digital signal, and we show that the combined use of planar lightwave circuits (PLC) technology and multiresolution analysis (MRA) can add flexibility to current multiple access optical networks. We furnish the design guidelines to synthesize wavele...

The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is an attractive approach for the design of high performance microwave and millimeter wave components, as it combines the advantages of planar technology, such as low fabrication costs, with the low loss inherent to the waveguide solution. In this study, a substrate integrated waveguide power divider, circulator and coupler are conceived and o...

A monotone planar circuit (MPC) is a Boolean circuit that can be embedded in a plane, and that has only AND and OR gates. Yang showed that the one-input-face monotone planar circuit value problem (MPCVP) is in NC, and Limaye et. al. improved the bound to LogCFL. Barrington et. al. showed that evaluating monotone upward stratified circuits, a restricted version of the oneinput-face MPCVP, is in ...

It was conjectured by Thomassen ([B. Alspach, C. Godsil, Cycle in graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. 27 (1985)], p. 466) that every longest circuit of a 3-connected graph must have a chord. This conjecture is verified for locally 4-connected planar graphs, that is, let N be the set of natural numbers; then there is a function h : N → N such that, for every 4-connected graph G embedded in a surface S w...

A technique of irradiating the entire mouse except for one hind limb was developed to provide repeated proliferative demand on the stem cell pool. Animals received 200 cGY weekly for a total dose of 3,400 to 4,000 cGy. During irradiation, shielded bone marrow cellularity was similar to that of unirradiated controls. Shielded marrow colony-forming unit (CFUs) content increased while marrow CFUs ...

This paper mainly presents a briefly review for recent progress in MEMS-based transmission lines for use in microwave and millimeterwave range. MEMS-based transmission lines including different transmission line structure such as membranesupported microstrip line microstrip line, coplanar microshield transmission line, LIGA micromachined planar transmission line, micromachined waveguides and co...
