High sensitivity 3-D PET data is often rebinned into 2-D data sets in order to reduce the computation time of reconstructions. The need to precorrect the 3-D data for attenuation, accidentals, scatter, and deadtime effects before rebinning along with the rebinning process itself changes the statistics of the data. This paper presents an approach for finding and using the statistics of Fourier r...

Mammalian herbivores can be divided into two groups on the basis of the principal site of microbial fermentation. Fore-gut fermenters have an expanded and differentiated fore-stomach. Eutherian fore-gut fermenters include sloths, colobid monkeys, hippos, peccaries, camelids and ruminants. Marsupial fore-gut fermenters include the kangaroos, wallabies and rat-kangaroos. Hind-gut fermenters have ...
