Background Probing the microscale diffusion of water informs on cardiac microstructural features such as cell density and orientation. Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) is widely regarded as the gold standard as it measures diffusion in a model-free manner. However, acquisition times are prolonged due to high sampling requirements in qspace. Various methods of reducing acquisition times have bee...

This study aims to develop the Perceived Job Stress as an Academic Leader (PJSAL) instrument based on a modification of Dean's Inventory (DSI) (Wild, et al., 2003). DSI is selected because it can accurately identify potential sources stress for dean, which also applicable in context academic leadership general. involved 214 lecturers who responded PJSAL via Google Form. Its construct validity w...

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) act as retrograde messengers at inhibitory synapses of the hippocampal CA1 region. Current models place eCB synthesis in the postsynaptic pyramidal cell and the site of eCB action at cannabinoid (CB1) receptors located on presynaptic interneuron terminals. Four responses at the CA1-interneuron synapse are attributed to eCBs; depolarization-induced suppression of inhibiti...

Introduction Mapping complex fiber orientations with diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) technique has been demonstrated as a potentially useful neuroimaging tool for investigating the brain structural connective network [1]. To sample DSI data, a large number of diffusion-weighted images are needed to be acquired for filling the 3-dimensional (3D) q-space. However, such sampling scheme prolongs t...

actual trigger for DSI appears to be a rise in postsynaptic calcium, since it is prevented when calcium chelators, such as EGTA or BAPTA, are present postJohanna M. Montgomery and Daniel V. Madison* Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology Stanford University School of Medicine synaptically (Llano et al., 1991; Pitler and Alger, 1994).

Method: The study was carried out in three phase. Phase I: V-DOP developed by Konnai et al., 2010 (in Kannada & English for Indian population) was translated in Tamil and verified for content validity. Phase II: English and Tamil version of V-DOP was administered on forty eight subjects for validation. Phase III: Correlating scores from DSI and V-DOP was done on fifty subjects with voice concer...

The revised Speech Perception in Noise (SPIN) test and the Dichotic Sentence Identification (DSI) test have been used to help evaluate speech-recognition capabilities in elderly people. We evaluated the test-retest reliability of these measures for 17 subjects aged 63-82 years. The DSI and revised SPIN tests were administered at 65, 75, and 85 dB SPL, with a total of three presentations at each...

In view of the problems involved in remote sensing monitoring urban air quality, including low spatial resolution, only for a single pollutant, complex inversion algorithms, and difficultly obtaining parameter values, this study, new difference smog index (DSI) was developed, then comparison with normal haze index, MODIS aerosol optical depth products. The results show that DSI model developed ...

The current paper proposes a real-time dense stereo matching algorithm based on a DSI (Disparity Space Image ) data structure that can produce accurate disparity map. Our approach divides the disparity map computing into two main steps. The first step deals with the computing of the initial disparity map using DSI method. The second step presents a simple and a fast method to refine the initial...
