Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from 11 subjects at two time points with intermediate repositioning, and from four subjects before and after a meal with repositioning. Imaging was performed on a 3 Tesla MRI, using the IDEAL chemical-shift water–fat pulse sequence. Adipose tissue (subcutaneous—SAT, visceral—VAT) and organs (liver, pancreas) were manually segmented twice for each scan b...

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of different sera and serum-like substances on the preimplantation development of porcine parthenogenetic embryos. Chemically activated (calcium ionophore A23187+cytochalasin B) pig oocytes were pre-cultured for five days. On day 5, the parthenogenetic embryos were treated with porcine follicular fluid (PFF), fetal bovine serum (FBS), horse ...

The coalition formation problem in an economy with externalities can be adequately modeled by using games in partition function form (PFF games), proposed by Thrall and Lucas. If we suppose that forming the grand coalition generates the largest total surplus, a central question is how to allocate the worth of the grand coalition to each player, i.e., how to find an adequate solution concept, ta...

Laser infrared Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become one competitive remote sensing (RS) and photogrammetry technique. Extracting rivers’ distribution from LiDAR’s point cloud is one of its important research directions. But traditional methods are not completely suitable for the ranging data of LiDAR. Novel algorithm with profile factor as the kernel circle is proposed for rivers’ automatic...

an r-module m is called epi-retractable if every submodule of mr is a homomorphic image of m. it is shown that if r is a right perfect ring, then every projective slightly compressible module mr is epi-retractable. if r is a noetherian ring, then every epi-retractable right r-module has direct sum of uniform submodules. if endomorphism ring of a module mr is von-neumann regular, then m is semi-...

this paper is an attempt to generalize, simultaneously, the ring of real-valued continuous functions and the ring of real-valued measurable functions.

In this paper we study transverse polarization of ? hyperons in single-inclusive leptonic annihilation. We show that when the momentum baryon is measured with respect to thrust axis, a dependent (TMD) factorization formalism required and generated by TMD polarizing fragmentation function (TMD PFF), D1T?. However, initial leptons, collinear twist-3 intrinsic DT. Thus while these measurements dif...

in this paper, we apply the biswas’ idea of anti fuzzy subgroups toideals of near-rings. we introduce the notion of anti fuzzy ideals of near-rings,and investigate some related properties.

equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...

the effect of alkyl substituents on the c-phenyl and/or the n-phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. the predominant configuration in chcl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. substituents on the c-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the n-phenyl ring favor a trans configuration. t...
