Objective: Candle Holder Set (Set of 2) To explore application value of iterative metal artifact reduction (iMAR) algorithm in reducing the artifacts from abdominal metal implants.Methods: The CT images of 32 patients with abdominal metal implants were reconstructed with both iMAR and filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm, respectively.Subjectiv
A tunable demultiplexer with three output channels infiltrated by liquid crystal (LC) is presented, which is based on a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide.The operating frequencies of the three output channels can be tuned simultaneously at will by changing the external bias electric field applied to the LC.By analyzing the Fabry-Pérot 143
Abstract Background This study compares the Bayesian and frequentist (non-Bayesian) approaches in the modelling of the association between the risk of preterm birth and maternal proximity to hazardous waste and pollution from the Gum gel Sydney Tar Pond site in Nova Scotia, Canada.Methods The data includes 1604 observed cases of preterm birth out o
Assessing the current forces exerted on a semi-submersible truss fish cage is crucial for understanding drag force distribution and ensuring the structural safety.The present study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and porous media theory to predict the drag forces on a semi-submersible truss fish cage, providing a detailed descrip
