UNLABELLED CT-based attenuation-corrected (AC) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies may show significant artifacts caused by misregistration between SPECT and CT data. The present study aimed at identifying the directions and magnitudes of misregistration with greatest impact on AC myocardial perfusion image quality. METHODS The incidence, magnitude, and direction of misregistration wer...

For a polynomial p(z) of degree n, having all zeros in |z|< k, k< 1, Dewan et al [K. K. Dewan, N. Singh and A. Mir, Extension of some polynomial inequalities to the polar derivative, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 352 (2009) 807-815] obtained inequality between the polar derivative of p(z) and maximum modulus of p(z). In this paper we improve and extend the above inequality. Our result generalizes certai...

We describe a concept for a spaceborne radar system designed to measure the surface and basal topography of terrestrial ice sheets and to determine the physical properties of the glacier bed. Our primary objective is to develop this new technology for obtaining spaceborne estimates of the thickness of the polar ice sheets with an ultimate goal of providing essential information to modelers esti...

In order to ensure the attitude determination accuracy and speed of a fine guidance sensor (FGS) in space telescope with limited onboard hardware computing resources, an adaptive absolute algorithm was proposed. The more stars involved determination, higher accuracy, but resources will be consumed. By analyzing relationship between number (NOS) field view (FOV), detector exposure time NOS, meth...

For quasi-homogeneous and finitely determined corank one map germs f : (C, 0) → (C, 0) we obtain formulae in function of the degree and weight of f for invariantes on the stable types of f , as polar multiplicities, number of Milnor, number of Lê. We minimize also the number of invariantes for 7, to resolve the problem that decides the Whitney equisingularity of families of such maps germs. To ...

Research in soccer has traditionally given more weight to players' technical and tactical skills, but few studies have analyzed the motor skills that underpin specific motor actions. The objective of this study was to investigate the style of play of the world's top soccer players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and how they use their motor skills in attacking actions that result in a goal...

The growth of horizontal nanowires (NWs) guided by epitaxial and graphoepitaxial relations with the substrate is becoming increasingly attractive owing to the possibility of controlling their position, direction, and crystallographic orientation. In guided NWs, as opposed to the extensively characterized vertically grown NWs, there is an increasing need for understanding the relation between st...

This paper addresses the topic of image rectification, a widely used technique in 3D-reconstruction and stereo vision. The most popular algorithm uses a projective transformation to map the epipoles of the images to infinity. This algorithm fails whenever an epipole lies inside an image. To overcome this drawback, a rectification scheme known as polar rectification can be used. This, however, f...
