For generic 3D sampling, the Body Centered Cubic (BCC) lattice and the Face Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice are significantly superior to the traditionally popular Cartesian Cubic (CC) lattice. Motivated by the goal of high visual fidelity in the visualization community, this thesis investigates the relative perceptual merits of high quality reconstruction filters for CC, BCC, and FCC sampled data...

Proton beam radiotherapy is a method of cancer treatment that uses proton beams to irradiate cancerous tissue, while minimizing doses healthy tissue. In order guarantee the prescribed radiation dose delivered tumor and ensure tissue spared, many researchers have suggested verifying delivery through use real-time imaging using methods which can image prompt gamma rays are emitted along beam’s pa...

OBJECTIVE To determine the role of computed tomography-virtual cystoscopy (CT-VC) in the detection and evaluation of bladder cancer, compared to standard conventional cystoscopy (CC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with a clinical presentation of a bladder mass(es) were selected from an outpatient urology clinic between May 2011 and August 2012. All patients were then assessed usin...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is evaluate the efficacy of TachoSil patches in controlling suture-hole bleeding after elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) replacement with Dacron graft. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing elective replacement of infrarenal AAA with Dacron grafts were prospectively randomized to TachoSil patches (Group I) or standard compression with surgic...

We review the current state of experimental knowledge on double cc production in e+e− annihilation. The large cross-sections (O(20 fb)) for e+e− → γ∗ → ψ(′) (cc)res processes have been confirmed by detailed tests and reproduced by a second group: they should now be considered well-established. The latest experimental results concern the case where the second cc system is above open-charm thresh...

A green synthesis of well dispersed LDH nanosheets via a reconstruction process in concentrated amino acid solution was reported. The nanosheet/PVA coated PET films exhibited excellent optical response and high oxygen barrier (0.35 cc m−2 day−1).

UNLABELLED PURPOSE In this retrospective study we investigated the clinical and radiological outcome after operative treatment of acute Rockwood III-V injuries of the AC-joint using two acromioclavicular (AC) cerclages and one coracoclavicular (CC) cerclage with resorbable sutures. METHODS Between 2007 and 2009 a total of 39 patients fit the inclusion criteria after operative treatment of ...

Cognitive success at school and later in life is supported by executive functions including cognitive control (CC). The pFC plays a major role in CC, particularly the dorsal part of ACC or midcingulate cortex. Genes, environment (including school curricula), and neuroplasticity affect CC. However, no study to date has investigated whether ACC sulcal pattern, a stable brain feature primarily det...

INTRODUCTION: Many acromioclavicular joint injuries involve damage to the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments. Some current techniques for CC ligament reconstruction utilize a hole drilled in the coracoid process for placement of a fixation device. Such a hole may increase the probability of coracoid fracture; however, there are no studies in literature that have attempted to evaluate the effects o...
