INTRODUCTION High and/or ultra-high field (UHF) whole-body MR spectrometer emerges as a cutting-edge new millennium technology [1-2]. With significantly higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) and higher resolution, it obtains increased abilities in detecting human microscopic structures comparable with conventional histology, which were previously unseen in lower field. It also enables the observat...

BACKGROUND Recent reports showed that functional control of HIV-1 infection for a prolonged time is possible by early antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, its underlying mechanism needs to be studied with a suitable animal model. Recently, humanized-BLT (bone marrow, liver, and thymus) mouse (hu-BLT) was shown to be an excellent model for studying HIV-1 infection. We thus tested the feasibili...

Current anomaly detection (AD) algorithms are typically challenged by either accuracy or efficiency. More accurate nonlinear detectors slow and not scalable. In this letter, we propose two families of techniques to improve the efficiency standard kernel Reed-Xiaoli (KRX) method for AD approximating function with data-independent random Fourier features data-dependent basis Nyström approach. We ...

PURPOSE To perform a masked study to determine whether resolvin E1 (RvE1), a lipid-derived immunomodulator, could regulate the development of corneal haze and opacity-related myofibroblasts after opacity-generating high correction photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in rabbits. METHODS Three groups of eight rabbits each were included in the study. Nine diopter (D) PRK for myopia was performed i...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is not known whether different high-palladium alloys of similar composition possess comparable tensile strength properties associated with connector soldering. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength properties of 2 high-palladium alloys on soldered connectors under simulated pre-ceramic and post-ceramic soldering conditions. MATERIAL A...

Accurate software simulation is an important step for testing mobile communication systems. It allows the evaluation of the system performance without the need for physical experiments. At an early testing stage, simulations are usually done considering transmissions over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, which do not account for obstacles or motion between the transmitter (Tx) and...

This paper presents a transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) with bowtie-antenna silicon lens for gas spectroscopy at 222-270 GHz, which are fabricated in IHP’s 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The TX RX use two integrated local oscillators 222 – 256 GHz 250 270 switched dual-band operation. Due to its directivity of about 27 dBi, the single enables an EIRP 25 dBm TX, therefore considerably higher 2...
