This work studies the effect of diffusion-weighting on the precision of measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC, or D) by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The precision in the value of the ADC was described in terms of a diffusion-to-noise ratio (DNR) which was calculated as the signal-to-noise ratio in the resultant ADC. A theoretical analysis decomposed the DNR i...

We propose a sequential learning policy for ranking and selection problems, where we use a non-parametric procedure for estimating the value of a policy. Our estimation approach aggregates over a set of kernel functions in order to achieve a more consistent estimator. Each element in the kernel estimation set uses a di erent bandwidth to achieve better aggregation. The nal estimate uses a weigh...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

We present a novel approach for point-set implicit surface sampling that is able to rapidly distribute particles over the surface of 3D objects. Our methods benefit from the inner structure of a MPU implicit to obtain a near-optimal initial distribution, with higher densities in areas of higher complexity. The adequate number of particles to effectively sample the surface is determined almost a...

We study the problem of Upward Point-Set Embeddability, that is the problem of deciding whether a given upward planar digraph D has an upward planar embedding into a point set S. We show that any switch tree admits an upward planar straight-line embedding into any convex point set. For the class of k-switch trees, that is a generalization of switch trees (according to this definition a switch t...

Multiresolution representations of 3D surfaces make it possible to concentrate the efforts of a modification at the appropriate level of detail. This paper introduces a multiresolution representation for point-set surfaces. At each level, the point set is smoothed and downsampled, and the geometric details are encoded along the smoothed surface normal. The resulting structure is only slightly l...
