PURPOSE Diffusion tensor imaging provides better understanding of pathophysiology of congenital anomalies, involving central nervous system. This study was aimed to specify the pathogenetic mechanism of heterotopia, proved by diffusion tensor imaging, and establish new findings of heterotopia on fractional anisotropy maps. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diffusion-weighted imaging data from 11 patients...

Synergistic allocation of urban stormwater infrastructure is critical to flood risk prevention and control under extreme rainfall events. This study focuses on the interaction regularity green, gray, blue in process runoff retention discharge scenarios. Three strategies, namely, gray infrastructure, green-gray green-gray-blue are proposed analyze effectiveness different scenarios capabilities d...

A Gray code is said to be cyclic if the last element and the first element in the sequence also differ by some pre-specified constant amount. The Gray code above demonstrates the cyclic property. It is well known that a cyclic Gray code of binary string corresponds to a Hamilton cycle in the n-dimensional hypercube. Figure 1 shows the 3-dimensional hypercube Q3 with the Hamilton cycle correspon...

introduction: there has been an increasing interest in studies dealing with the relationship between mental disorders and color preference. this study was tailored to evaluate color preference or rejection in schizophrenic and normal subjects. materials and method: color preference and rejection of 58 patients with dsm-iv diagnosis of schizophrenia were compared with those of 52 normal subjects...

to investigate the effect of k fertilizer on yield and yield components of three watermelon cultivars, a two-year study (2007-2008) was conducted in ardestan agricultural research center (isfahan province) by using of split plot randomized based on complete block design in three replications. three watermelon cultivars (‘sugar baby’, ‘charleston grey’ and ‘mahbubi’), were assigned as main plots...

objective: in a cavity prepared through endodontic surgery, application of a material to provide apical seal and prevent bacterial and tissue exudates is of great importance. the purpose of this study was to compare the sealing ability of biocalex with white mta, gray mta, and amalgam as root-end fillings. materials and methods: sixty-six single-rooted extracted human teeth were cleaned, shaped...

in pregnant mothers maternal diabetes happens when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, soblood glucose increases in the mother and then in the fetus, resulting in several injuries in neonates. thisstudy was conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal diabetes on fetal cerebrum. sixteen adult female rats were divided in two equal groups. diabetes was induced in one group by alloxan. bo...
