Topography is the study of an area on earth's surface. This term relates to land's slope or contour, which interval elevation differences between two adjacent and parallel contour lines. generally presents a three-dimensional model object surface relief identification land hilly areas based horizontal coordinates such as latitude longitude, vertical position, namely elevation. The topography es...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was the systematic image quality evaluation of coronary CT angiography (CTA), reconstructed with the 3 different levels of adaptive iterative dose reduction (AIDR 3D) and compared to filtered back projection (FBP) with quantum denoising software (QDS). METHODS Standard-dose CTA raw data of 30 patients with mean radiation dose of 3.2 ± 2.6 mSv were reconstructed u...

Editor’s key points † Previously, continuous cardiac output (CO) measurement techniques required the insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter. † The PiCCO and VolumeView systems use arterial pulse contour analysis for continuous CO measurement. † Both require calibration with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) measurements using a central venous catheter. † The current study compared the perf...

An incremental Contour Method (iCM) of residual stress measurement is proposed where stresses in the body interest are sequentially reduced by successive contour cuts and risk re-distribution plasticity mitigated or eliminated. The cutting-induced known to cause significant inaccuracies when trying measure near-yield using a conventional single cut method. iCM procedure implements new displacem...

This project provides a quantitative way to describe the contours of musical pieces from the western classical music repertoire. These contours describe what happens in a piece of music over time according to some measurement: either a measurement of dissonance, spacing, or tonal strength. This project normalizes many of these individual contours and combines them to get an average contour over...
