STUDY OBJECTIVES Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is currently the sole clinical method available for delineating the bronchial wall structure; however, the image resolution is inadequate. Thus, an improved image analysis system is needed for both a more accurate and more readily interpretable endobronchial ultrasonogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 patients underwent pulmonary re...

Diffraction peak profiles were calculated numerically for dislocation ensembles with different spatial arrangements and correlations between the Burgers vector signs. The latter property determines stored elastic energy in crystal width of diffraction peaks. It is shown that within approximation asymptotic line-profile theory relationship breadth magnitude modified Williamson-Hall (mWH) plot li...

Directional variograms, along the soil profile, can be useful and precise tool that can be used to increase the precision of the assessment of soil pollution. The detail analysis of spatial variability in the soil profile can be also an important part of the standardization of soil magnetometry as a screening method for an assessment of soil pollution related to the dust deposition. The goal of...

As mentioned in the main paper, we ran Profile Likelihoods for each mode detected with the Monte Carlo Multiple Minimisation. The reason for this is that the method by which these profiles are computed are local (reoptimising from the current point at each step). The result is that one runs the risk that the profile likelihood fails to leave a mode before the error reaches the threshold (see fo...
