The inverse problem in the diffuse optical tomography is known to be nonlinear, ill-posed, and sometimes under-determined, requiring regularization to obtain meaningful results, with Tikhonov-type regularization being the most popular one. The choice of this regularization parameter dictates the reconstructed optical image quality and is typically chosen empirically or based on prior experience...

Background For quantitative volumetric assessments of cardiac function, 3D cine images depicting motion of the entire ventricle in a complete cardiac cycle are needed. However, due to limited acceleration capability, breathheld 3D cine MRI is not obtainable using conventional parallel imaging. Several kt-acceleration methods have demonstrated high-acceleration capability for dynamic MRI by expl...

Network coding in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is well-known in reducing delay, increasing throughput, and improving transmission reliability. While the data throughput capacity of MANETs is unknown, the scaling of capacity with the number of nodes has recently received increasing attention. This paper proposes a Complex Field Network Coding-based Multipath Routing in MANETs (CFNC-MRM). The pe...

Abstract Background Cholesteatoma is an atticoantral disease that potentially causes life-threatening complications. Therefore, canal wall down mastoidectomy a well-established technique to eradicate the disease, especially in extensive cholesteatoma. Aim To evaluate status of dry ear and hearing outcome post-retrograde mastoidectomy. Methods A retrospective study patients with cholesteatoma wh...

The MRM transitions used to detect histone H3K56 peptides were as follows.

background: menstrual migraine (mm) is a subgroup of migraine headache that affect the quality of life of patients in menstrual age. iron deficiency anemia (ida) is the most common cause of anemia, especially in women of reproductive age. objectives: to determine the association of iron deficiency anemia with menstrual migraine. materials and methods: this descriptive-analytic study was conduct...

BACKGROUND Highly malignant gliomas are characterized by rapid growth, extensive local tissue infiltration and the resulting overall dismal clinical outcome. Gaining any additional insights into the complex interaction between this aggressive brain tumor and its microenvironment is therefore critical. Currently, the standard imaging modalities to investigate the crucial interface between tumor ...

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) from bulk-water at 300 K, measured on the IRIS backscattering spectrometer (ISIS, UK), is interpreted using jump diffusion model (JDM), a “minimalistic” multi-timescale relaxation (MRM) and molecular dynamics simulations (MD). In case of MRM data analysis performed in time domain, where intermediate function described by stretched Mittag-Leffler function,...
