A large number of the strain estimation methods presented in the literature are based on the assumption of tissue continuity that establishes a continuous displacement field. However, in certain locations in the body such as the arteries in vivo scanning may produce displacement fields that are discontinuous between the two walls of the artery. Many of the displacement or strain estimators fail...

Allen Song and coworkers recently proposed a method for MRI detection of biocurrents in nerves called "Lorentz effect imaging." When exposed to a magnetic field, neural currents are subjected to a Lorentz force that moves the nerve. If the displacement is large enough, an artifact is predicted in the MR signal. In this work, the displacement of a nerve of radius a in a surrounding tissue of rad...

Using single-molecule fluorescence imaging, we track Brownian motion perpendicular to the contour of tightly entangled F-actin filaments and extract the confining potential. The chain localization presents a small-displacement Hookean regime followed by a large amplitude regime where the effective restoring force is independent of displacement. The implied heterogeneity characterized by a distr...

Displacement is one of a number of methods used to improve the legibility of symbolised features in a map. In this paper a number of alternate paradigms for displacement are considered and compared. It is apparent that effective displacement can be achieved by sharing small movements among a group of objects in order to minimise loss of positional accuracy and maintain the gestalt and topology ...

Electric displacement current is present in capacitors and optical waveguides; however, unlike the conduction current in metallic wires, it is not confined. Analogous to the contrast in conductivity between a metallic wire and the surrounding air, displacement-current wires based on near-zero permittivity media contain a large contrast in effective permittivity. As a variation on this idea, in ...

Subject review The developmental tendencies of cumulative displacement time series associated with reservoir landslides influenced by large water reservoirs must be effectively predicted. However, traditional methods do not encompass the dynamic response relationships between landslide deformation and its influencing factors. Therefore, a new approach based on the exponential smoothing (ES) and...

the foremost constant and incessant social development in history of persian gulf is “immigration and population displacement” at both sides of this region. this phenomenon is so important that no one may comprehend properly the events and incidents occurred in this region particularly at pre- petroleum exploration regardless of investigation and considering this issue in mind. if we divide per...

BACKGROUND Associations between carotid artery longitudinal displacement, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and events were evaluated in a large, multi-ethnic cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS A novel, reproducible protocol was developed for measuring right common carotid artery longitudinal displacement using ultrasound speckle-tracking. Total longitudinal displacement was measured in 389 ran...
