We consider monopole-antimonopole static potential in the confining phase of the Abelian Higgs model and concentrate on the correction to the Coulomb-like potential at short distances r. By minimising numerically the classical energy functional we observe a linear in r correction so that a string-tension term survives even at distances much smaller than apparent physical scales. We argue that t...

The modeling of RF integrated structures with fine metallic details using time-domain simulators is addressed. The key features identified as difficulties in modeling metallic structures in these techniques are dielectric and metal loss and complexity of geometry. A method to model loss that involves the use of a quasi-static simulator to identify correction factors that can be applied to a tim...

Using a proper gauge condition the static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell equations with charged point source at the center are derived. It is shown that the solutions of the field equations are a threeparameter family depending on the Keplerian mass M , the charge Q and the bare mass M0. The result can be interpreted as a correction to Newton’s gravitational potential and C...

objective the associations between imperforate anus and spinal and vertebral abnormalities and neurologic deficits are well recognized; these neurologic deficits have been considered static rather than progressive. however, recent experience indicates that some patients may develop progressive neurologic problems due to spinal cord lesions that are amenable to neurosurgical correction. material...

UNLABELLED Integrated whole-body PET/MR facilitates the implementation of a broad variety of respiratory motion correction strategies, taking advantage of the strengths of both modalities. The goal of this study was the quantitative evaluation with clinical data of different MR- and PET-data-based motion correction strategies for integrated PET/MR. METHODS The PET and MR data of 20 patients w...

The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a regional navigation satellite system transmitting navigation signals that are compatible and interoperable with GPS, as well as transmitting augmentation signals that carry bias correction messages. The L-band Experimental (LEX) signal on the E6b frequency delivers correction messages – such as orbits and clock information, which enable Precise Poin...

The integral nonlinearity (INL) is used for the post-correction of analog-digital converters (ADCs). An inputfrequency-dependent INL-model is developed for the postcorrection. The model consists of a static term that is dependent on the ADC output code and a dynamic term that has an additional dependence on the input frequency. The concept of ADC digital output post-correction by INL is first i...

This work presents a new algorithm (nonuniform intensity correction; NIC) for correction of intensity inhomogeneities in T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. The bias field and a bias-free image are obtained through an iterative process that uses brain tissue segmentation. The algorithm was validated by means of realistic phantom images and a set of 24 real images. The first evaluation p...
