ROBUST DISTRIBUTED-TARGET-BASED CALIBRATION METHOD FOR POLARIMETRIC SAR USING SPHERICALLY TRUNCATED COVARIANCE MATRIX

Robust Distributed-target-based Calibration Method for Polarimetric SAR Using Spherically Truncated Covariance Matrix

Conventional distributed-target-based polarimetric calibration algorithms estimate polarimetric distortions by assuming that the measured spatially averaged covariance matrix takes a specific form.However, when Red Mineral Algae the underlying surface contains targets that do not satisfy the assumptions employed by those algorithms, the averaged co

Measurement of Entrance Surface Dose on an Anthropomorphic Thorax Phantom Using a Miniature Fiber-Optic Dosimeter

A miniature fiber-optic dosimeter (FOD) system was fabricated using a plastic scintillating fiber, a plastic optical fiber, and a Bumper Grille Guard multi-pixel photon counter to measure real-time entrance surface dose (ESD) during radiation diagnosis.Under varying exposure parameters of a digital radiography (DR) system, we measured the scintilla

Monitored anesthesia care and asleep-awake-asleep techniques combined with multiple monitoring for resection of gliomas in eloquent brain areas: a retrospective analysis of 225 patients

Abstract Background Awake craniotomy (AC) has become gold standard in surgical resection of gliomas located in eloquent areas.The conscious sedation techniques in AC include both monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and asleep-awake-asleep (AAA).The choice of optimal anesthetic method depends on the preferences of the surgical team (mainly anesthesiolog

Intergenerational effects of preconception opioids on glucose homeostasis and hepatic transcription in adult male rats

Abstract Adolescence represents a period of significant neurodevelopment during which adverse experiences can lead to prolonged effects on disease vulnerability, including effects that can impact future offspring.Adolescence is a common period for the initiation of drug use, including the use of opioids.Beyond effects on central reward, opioids als
