ObjectivesWith the increased use of computed tomography (CT) in clinics, dose reduction is the most important feature people seek when considering new CT techniques or applications.We developed an intensity-weighted region-of-interest (IWROI) imaging method in an exact half-fan geometry to reduce the imaging radiation dose to patients in cone-beam
Astrocytes, one of the largest glial cell population in the central nervous system (CNS), play a key function in several events of brain development and function, such as synapse formation and function, control of neurotransmitters release and uptake, production of trophic factors and control of neuronal survival.Initially described as a homogenous
The increased use of electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking using up to 100% direct reduced iron (DRI) has prompted an interest in better control of phosphorus since iron ore and, HYDRATING CURL DETANGLER LEAVE IN CONDIT consequently, DRI have higher phosphorus and silica compared to scrap.There is limited work reported on slag chemistries correspo
In this work, a reversible watermarking technique is proposed for DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications serveware in Medicine) image that offers high embedding capacity (payload), security and fidelity of the watermarked image.The goal is achieved by embedding watermark based on companding in lifting based discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domai
