Introduction Tx-SENSE is used to reduce the pulse length of 2D and 3D spatially selective RF pulses. The design of array coils for Tx-SENSE applications is complimentary to the design of an array for Rx parallel MRI. Therefore, Tx-array elements that have B1 field distributions that are completely orthogonal may allow the complimentary effect of data compression [1] but on the transmit side for...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to validate the association between dental screenings and follow-up care support level awareness hygiene services available in community by increasing access determine patients’ knowledge insurance status. Methods: A first-time screening conducted, complimentary provided for those who followed through with at clinic. Survey questionnaires were administe...

In early-detection clinical trials, quantities such as the sensitivity of the screening modality and the preclinical duration of the disease are important to describe the natural history of the disease and its interaction with a screening program. Assume that the schedule of a screening program is periodic and that the sojourn time in the preclinical state has a piecewise density function. Mode...

The rapid progress of genomic technologies has been providing new opportunities to address the need of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) molecular diagnosis. However, whether a new mutation causes MODY can be questionable. A number of in silico methods have been developed to predict functional effects of rare human mutations. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of ...

We show that if L is a codimension-one lamination in a finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold such that the principal curvatures of each leaf of L are all in the interval (−δ, δ) for a fixed δ ∈ [0, 1) and no complimentary region of L is an interval bundle over a surface, then each boundary leaf of L has a nontrivial fundamental group. We also prove existence of a fixed constant δ0 > 0 such that i...
