(2008-07-31)Department: PsychologySensory disturbances and difficulties integrating multisensory information are reported frequently in clinical and autobiographical reports of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD); however, there is surprisingly little empirical ...
-
(2022-04)Objective: To perform a quantitative analysis of the sociodemographic risk factors that predispose certain veterans to moderate to severe psychological distress using the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Methods: ...
-
(2017-08-10)Department: PsychologyOne of the primary goals in neuroscience is to elucidate the relationship between the structure and function of the brain, and yet basic information about the anatomy of specific circuits is often unavailable. Primates ...
-
(2011-09-14)Department: EconomicsThis study provides a detailed quantitative analysis of a transition to inflation targeting with a focus on the role of expectations. I investigate the impact of the Turkish central bank's inflation reduction programs on ...
-
(2018-04-12)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe zebrafish is a robust model for studying human ophthalmic function and disease because of its fecundity, life-cycle, and similarities between its retinal structure and the human retina. Here, we demonstrate longitudinal ...
-
(2016-03-18)Department: PhysicsMeasurements of the spin-lattice relaxation rate in the rotating frame, R1rho, using spin-locking techniques have long been exploited to investigate relatively slow molecular motions and, more recently, to analyze chemical ...
-
(2007-04-14)Department: Civil EngineeringThe overall objective of this study is to advance highway bridge inspection procedures from current subjective methods to a more quantitative, objective framework for assessment and inspection within a management program. ...
-
(2022-07-14)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe abdominal organs, such as liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys are crucial organ systems and the relationships between spatial form and function are important area of study. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen is ...
-
(2007-04-13)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe emerging field of molecular imaging (MI) aims to noninvasively, quantitatively and repetitively monitor biological processes in vivo to detect disease, probe its basis, and study relevant biochemical pathways at the ...
-
(2007-11-29)Department: PhysicsThis dissertation discusses magnetization transfer effects in magnetic resonance imaging and the development and applications of quantitative magnetization transfer imaging techniques. Specifically, the magnetization ...
-
(2012-07-31)Department: Biomedical EngineeringPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) leads to an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life. The mouse hind limb ischemia (HLI) model is the most commonly used system ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021)Quantitative O-atom profiles are measured for the first time in tubular flames and used to assess the performance of chemical kinetic mechanisms in tubular flame simulations. Atomic oxygen is measured via femtosecond, ...
-
(2017-03-03)Department: ChemistryVaccines are one of the greatest public health successes; yet there is an incomplete understanding of which genes and proteins are induced by vaccines and how they contribute to the development of protective immune responses. ...
-
(2011-08-30)Department: Biomedical EngineeringConventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses contrast that is weighted by the intrinsic tissue parameters T1, and T2. Contrast may also be generated in the rotating frame with the analogous time constants T1ρ or T2ρ. ...
-
(2018-06-18)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologySingle cell tools have great potential to characterize mechanisms of oncogenesis and treatment resistance. To date, single cell quantitative cytometry has been widely applied in the setting of blood cancer. However, few ...
-
(Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2019-04)Purpose: This study aims to test the ability of quantitative temporal diffusion spectroscopy (qTDS) to assess cellular changes associated with radiation-induced cell death in a rat glioma model. Methods and Materials: ...
-
Quantitative texture analysis of T2- weighted MR images in polymyositis and dermatomyositis patients (2017-08-11)Department: Biomedical EngineeringDermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) patients experience intramuscular inflammation and necrosis, eventually progressing to fat infiltration. The gold standard for MRI assessment of fat tissue infiltration is ...
-
(2016-04-08)Department: MathematicsQuantization is an important part of signal processing. Several issues influence the performance of a quantization algorithm. One is the “basis” we choose to represent the signal, another is how we quantize the “basis” ...
-
(2015-11-30)Department: Electrical EngineeringOptical sensors have been ubiquitous in laboratories for several decades for applications including healthcare diagnostics, personalized radiation safety badges, and space radiation dosimeters. However, there remains a ...
