Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most frequent benign tumors of the liver and detecting them from metastasis or other malignant hepatic tumors is of outmost importance. 99mTc- RBC scan is highly specific and is the method of choice for this differentiation. This scintigraphy is performed in Planar and SPECT modes. These two procedures are in agreement most of the times, however since SPE...

In this paper, a novel control scheme is proposed to guarantee position and force tracking in nonlinear teleoperation systems subject to varying communication delays. Stability and tracking performance of the teleoperation system are proved using a proposed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. To show its effectiveness, the teleoperation controller is simulated on a pair of planar 2-DOF robots and e...

Shin A simple approach for manufacturing quasi-planar bulk MOSFET structures is demonstrated and shown to be effective not only for improving device performance but also for reducing variation in 6T-SRAM read and write ma...

multicast routing is one of the most important services in multi radio multi channel (mrmc) wireless mesh networks (wmn). multicast routing performance in wmns could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. in this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in wmns. the channels...

many appealing multicast services such as on-demand tv, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. when multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...

introduction: the limited resolution of the imaging system causes partial volume effects (pves). these results in spreading of image counts to the neighboring pixels. this phenomenon is called spill-out effect. this study aimed at quantifying pves using imagej. methods:technetium-99m solution of concentration of 74 kbq/ml was filled into spheres a, b and c of diameters: 26 mm, 20 mm and 16 mm r...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity‎. ‎we use‎ ‎$varphi (r)$ to denote the comaximal ideal graph‎. ‎the vertices‎ ‎of $varphi (r)$ are proper ideals of r which are not contained‎ ‎in the jacobson radical of $r$‎, ‎and two vertices $i$ and $j$ are‎ ‎adjacent if and only if $i‎ + ‎j = r$‎. ‎in this paper we show some‎ ‎properties of this graph together with planarity of line graph‎ ‎assoc...
