Özet İlk olarak 1958 yılında Cantrell, Haller ve Ravitch tarafından tanımlanan Cantrell sendromu, ektopia kordis ile birlikte diyafragma, orta hat karın duvarı ve perikardı etkileyen nadir görülen bir anomalidir. Cantrell sendromu sıklıkla intrakardiyak defektler ile birliktelik göstermektedir. Kompleks kardiyak anomali prognozu belirlemede önemli bir role sahiptir. Çeşitli derecelerde birçok s...

The patient-centered approach to imaging is an increasing focus in Radiology departments. For patients undergoing CT, this includes a personalized examination, one that provides diagnostic image quality while managing radiation dose (As Low As Reasonably Achievable, or ALARA). The Philips iPatient approach to patientcentered imaging includes new, patientspecific methods to facilitate optimal ma...

Five search engines, Alta Vista, Excite, HotBot, Infoseek, and Lycos, are compared for precision on the first 20 results returned for 15 queries, adding weight for ranking effectiveness. All searching was done from January 31 to March 12, 1997. In the study, steps are taken to ensure that bias has not unduly influenced the evaluation. Friedmann’s randomized block design is used to perform multi...

VISTA is a visually oriented, interactive environment for parallelizing sequential programs at the instruction level for execution on ne-grain architectures. Fully automatic parallelization techniques often perform well, but may not be able to achieve the strict performance and code size requirements needed for some critical applications. In such cases, manual manipulation by an expert user can...

Sexual information seeking is an important element within human information behavior. Seeking sexually related information on the Internet takes many forms and channels, including chat rooms discussions, accessing Websites or searching Web search engines for sexual materials. The study of sexual Web queries provides insight into sexually-related information-seeking behavior, of value to Web use...

This paper describes the design and implementation of the Technology CAD simulation framework VISTA as well as its features. Object-oriented design is a key point in the implementation of VISTA. A Tool abstraction mechanism, job farming, automatic load balancing, parallel execution, a simulation flow controller, gridding services, visualization tools and persistent storage facilities are core c...

Background Combined with Variable density Incoherent SpatioTemporal Acquisition (VISTA, [1]), SPIRiT [2] reconstruction can provide an avenue for highly accelerated real-time, free-breathing cardiac imaging. Yet the high computational cost of iterative algorithms limits practical clinical implementation. The Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) [3] can potentially reduce the ...

Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) has been the key instrumentation technology on Windows platforms for years. Many core operating system components have been instrumented with ETW, providing a basis for system activity analysis and problem diagnosis for a number of developers and tools. The upcoming Windows Vista ® operating system contains many new events, in response to the growing need to diag...
