1. Precision-cut liver slices represent a suitable and convenient in vitro preparation for studying metabolism and toxicity mechanisms of drugs and toxic chemicals. Particularly in the case of human liver slices, cryopreservation would enable more efficient utilization of this scarce and irregularly available tissue. 2. Liver slices from consecutive human livers were cryopreserved using a metho...

Objective: Potato is the fourth important food crop after wheat, rice and maize. Shrinkage  of  food  materials  has  a negative  consequence  on  the  quality  of  the dehydrated product. The main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the shrinkage amount of potato slices during drying process using vacuum-infrared method. Methods: In this work, the effect of the infrared radiation...

Network slicing is a promising approach for enabling low latency computation offloading in edge computing systems. In this paper, we consider an system under network which the wireless devices generate sensitive computational tasks. We address problem of joint dynamic assignment tasks to slices, management radio resources across slices and within slices. formulate <italic xmlns:mml="http://www....

The new 5G networks must face the challenge to fulfill multiple requirements in different use cases, applications and verticals. These are designed provide strict Quality of Service (QoS) compliance independently network conditions each case. Some cases deployed Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), infrastructures that managed by mobile operators. However, for other devices connected services pri...

Network slicing is a relatively recent paradigm that has become subject of intensive research. Most the existing approaches follow ETSI NFV MANO model with some extensions related to multi-domain slicing, slice selection, etc. The framework part standalone variant 5G network standardized by 3GPP. However, current implementation in several limitations, especially regarding management and orchest...

5G radio access network (RAN) slicing envisions a solution to flexibly deploy heterogeneous services as slices sharing the same infrastructure. However, this level of flexibility renders slice isolation challenging, mainly due stochastic nature wireless resources. In state-of-the-art, RAN algorithm’s efficiency with respect is related ability meeting individual requirements. mostly an aggregate...

Fig. 3: High resolution cardiac perfusion imaging in 12 slices using CAIPIRINHA with an effective acceleration factor of Reff = 5. Shown is the pass of the contrast agent through the myocardium in 8 short (left) and 4 long axis slices (right). The slices shown in the upper row were acquired exactly at the same time as the corresponding slices in the bottom row. High Resolution Whole Heart Cardi...

Advanced data augmentation techniques have demonstrated great success in deep learning algorithms. Among these techniques, single-image-based (SIBDA), which a single image’s regions are randomly erased different ways, has shown promising results. However, erasing image SIBDA can cause loss of the key discriminating features, consequently misleading neural networks and lowering their performance...
