Angiogenesis is a key step in the pathophysiology of tumor growth and metastatic spread. Recently, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has emerged as a method for assessing angiogenesis both during the initial diagnosis and for follow up of anti-angiogenic therapies. In this review, we discuss the technical aspects of implementing DCE-MRI in clinical practice with emp...

geographical location and climatic condition in the northern coast of persian gulf provided a suitable condition for the spread of epidemic diseases and their continuity. in qajar period, increased relations with india, mesopotamia and lack of health facilities caused the death of many residents in these areas. at the beginning of reza shah’s reign and the government’s attitude towards moderniz...

Abstract: Let m, n, a1, a2, . . . , ar, b1, b2, . . . , br be integers with 1 ≤ a1 < · · · < ar ≤ m and 1 ≤ b1 < · · · < br ≤ n. And let x be the universal m× n matrix with the property that i-minors of first ai − 1 rows and first bi − 1 columns are all zero, for i = 1, . . . , r+1 (ar+1 := m+1 and br+1 := n+1). For an integer u with 1 ≤ u ≤ m, we denote by U the u×n matrix consisting of the fi...

An equigenerated monomial ideal [Formula: see text] in the polynomial ring is a Freiman if text], where analytic spread of and least number generators text]. In this paper, we classify certain classes Borel-type ideals, including Borel ideals with multiple principal text]-Borel which are Freiman.

An analytic explanation of the spatial resolution in thermoacoustic or photoacoustic reconstruction is presented. Three types of specific recording geometries, including spherical, planar, and cylindrical surface, as well as other general cases, are investigated. Analytic expressions of the point-spread functions (PSF's), as a function of the bandwidth of the measurement system and the finite s...

Causal loop diagrams developed by groups capture a shared understanding of complex problems and provide a visual tool to guide interventions. This paper explores the application of network analytic methods as a new way to gain quantitative insight into the structure of an obesity causal loop diagram to inform intervention design. Identification of the structural features of causal loop diagrams...

We propose robust acquisition schemes for chip time-synchronous direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS/SS) signals in wide-band pulse jamming. To mitigate the performance degradation due to the impulse-like wide-band jamming signal, the received signal is preprocessed by employing simple order statistic filters. We consider the use of two types of median filtering schemes: a running median filter ...

The paper collects some old results and presents some news ones for unbiased estimation of analytic functions of probabilities where the probabilities must be simulated and applies these to Simulated Maximum Likelihood (SML) estimation. The results include unbiased estimation of finite degree polynomials and other analytic functions, unbiased simulation of the score and likelihood, and the asym...

Many untrained humans can efficiently and intuitively understand a visualization of data and publicly available casual information visualization tools provide a potentially powerful way to understand various questions and issues across disciplines, education levels, and possibly beyond the limits of literacy. The purpose of casual infovis could be non-analytic, artistic, qualitative instead of ...

The importance of the ability to predict trends in social media has been growing rapidly in the past few years with the growing dominance of social media in our everyday’s life. Whereas many works focus on the detection of anomalies in networks, there exist little theoretical work on the prediction of the likelihood of anomalous network pattern to globally spread and become “trends”. In this wo...
