OBJECTIVE Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is often cited as a criterion method for body composition measurements. We have previously shown that a new DXA software version (Hologic Discovery V12.1) will affect whole-body bone mineral results for subjects weighing <40 kg. We wished to reanalyze pediatric whole-body scans in order to assess the impact of the new software on pediatric soft-t...

PURPOSE To implement an arterial spin labeling technique that is feasible in routine examinations and to test the method and compare it with dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for evaluation of tumor blood flow (TBF) in patients with brain tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with histologically proven brain tumors were exam...

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform based millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems are capable of achieving high data rates in high-mobility scenarios. Hence, transceivers designed for both analog beamforming (AB) and hybrid (HB), where we commence by deriving the delay-Doppler (DD)-domain input-output relationship considering a delay-Doppler-angular domain channel model. Subsequently,...

A composition operator Tbf = f o b is completely continuous on H1 if and only if \b\ < 1 a.e. If the adjoint operator Tg is completely continuous on VMOA , then 7¿ is completely continuous on Hl . Examples are given to show that the converse fails in general. Two results are given concerning the relationship between the complete continuity of an operator and of its adjoint in the presence of ce...

In order to suppress global warming, it is necessary reduce the weight of autobodies, whereas improvement collision safety automobiles required which results in a increase. Research and development high-strength steel sheets for autobodies are being carried out achieve both two objectives. Among various sheets, low alloy steels utilizing transformation-induced plasticity retained austenite (TRI...

Tension band plating (TBF) has been pitted as the best method for correcting the angular deformities and limb length discrepancies (LLD) in growing children. In this review we examined the superiority of the tension band plating over other methods of growth modulation, in terms of safety and efficacy. As per the current literature, in angular deformities TBP has similar correction rates with le...

Decreased absolute tumor blood flow (TBF) measured by arterial spin labeling perfusion imaging (ASL-PI) on 3-tesla magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the reduced size and growth hormone (GH) secretion of a large GH-producing pituitary adenoma in a 32-year-old man in response to octreotide therapy. The study shows the usefulness of ASL-PI in providing a biomarker of the antiangiogenic effec...

In the study, effects of welding parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties electrical resistance spot welded TBF/DP600 steel sheets 1.2 mm thickness were investigated. TBF used in study was both with without electro-galvanized. Microhardness measurements tensile shear tests taken as basis determining properties, while optical microscope for microstructural characterization. The nug...
