BACKGROUND Galla Rhois has been considered to have medicinal properties against diarrhea, excessive sweating, bleeding, and chronic cough in Asian countries. Gallotannins, which are Galla Rhois-derived tannins, have been reported to possess biological and pharmacological activities, especially anticancer activity. In this study, we evaluated the effect of steaming at a temperature over 120 °C o...

PURPOSE To implement in-phase and out-of-phase (IP/OP) techniques with Magnetization-Prepared Gradient Recalled Echo (MP-GRE) and to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic image quality among pre and post-optimized MP-GRE sequences, including patients unable to cooperate with breath-hold requirements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval with waiver of informed consent w...

The task of generating referring expressions, an important subtask of Natural Language Generation is to generate phrases that uniquely identify domain entities. Until recently, many GRE algorithms were developed using only simple and essentially home-made formalisms. Following the fast development of ontology-based systems, reinterpretations of GRE in terms of description logic have been studie...

OBJECTIVE To compare brain structures using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging with isotropic resolution, in T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) acquisition, with and without inversion recovery (IR). MATERIALS AND METHODS From 30 individuals, we evaluated 120 blocks of images of the left and right cerebral hemispheres being acquired by T1 GRE and by T1 IR GRE. On the basis of the Naidich et al...

OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of a free-breathing 3D gradient-recalled echo sequence with radial data sampling (radial 3D GRE) in abdominal MRI compared with a standard 3D GRE volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) sequence for imaging of cooperative patients and to perform a preliminary assessment in imaging of noncooperative patients. ...

This study proposes an observer-based Composite Nonlinear Feedback (CNF) controller for the robust tracking of uncertain singular systems with input saturation, nonlinear function, time-delay, and disturbances. The suggested control law is designed based states reconstructed using a observer so as to increase steady-state accuracy improve robustness. CNF developed on Generalized Riccati Equatio...

This specification defines a new mobility option for allowing the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor to negotiate Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) encapsulation mode and exchange the downlink and uplink GRE keys that are used for marking the downlink and uplink traffic that belong to a specific mobility session. In addition, the same mobility option can be used to negotiate ...
