Do You Believe For Success?Do you believe for success?I applaud your article. Much of what you write is demonstrably true. There is one element that is widely neglected that is a major contributor to the success of an individual no matter what aspect of life we are talking about.It is...
A strong association between lower socioeconomic status SES and worse health the (SES-health gradient) has been documented in many countries, but little work has compared the size of the gradient across countries. This paper compares the size of the income gradient in self-reported health in the US and Canada. The...
The impact of voxel geometry on the blood oxygenation level-dependent BOLD signal detectability in the presence of field in-homogeneity is assessed and a quantitative approach to selecting appropriate voxel geometry is developed in this report. Application of the developed technique to BOLD sensitivity improvement of the human amygdala is presented....
More and more, inhabitants in the vicinity of airports and air force bases complain about aircraft annoyance. Therefore noise reduction becomes a major issue in aeronautics. A possible way of reduction to investigate is to develop acoustic liners which are directly introduced into aircraft engines; this has already be tried...
This white paper deals with cell locomotion that can be directed by external gradients of diffusible substances leading to chemotaxis. The paper reviews several recent computational models of gradient sensing in eukaryotic cells, demonstrating why some of them predict little sensitivity to changes in the gradient and response "locking," whereas...
The extraction of vessel centerlines allows for better understanding of their topology, and can be used for further registration or quantification. They present a new method to extract the centerlines from Magnetic Resonance Angiographies. They use the gradient and the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix to interpolate the zero-crossing of...
American design provisions treat unstiffened elements under stress gradients as if they were uniformly compressed for effective width calculations. Australian, British and European design provisions allow accurate calculation of the elastic buckling coefficient, however the same effective width equation for compressed elements is used for elements with stress gradients. In...
This report presents a general design procedure for calculating the moment capacity of sections containing unstiffened elements under stress gradients. The method uses the design equations for calculating both elastic and plastic effective widths of unstiffened elements under stress gradients, based on plate test results, presented in a companion report....
Eukaryotic cells can detect shallow gradients of chemoattractants with exquisite precision and respond quickly to changes in the gradient steepness and direction. The paper describes a set of models explaining both adaptation to uniform increases in chemoattractant and persistent signaling in response to gradients. The paper demonstrates that one of...
Commercial land price gradients for an emerging real estate market are estimated using spatial regression techniques. Spatial statistics are used to explore the extent of spatial autocorrelation in the residuals of an OLS land price gradient model. Spatial autocorrelation is present but not to the same degree for all time...
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Aurora Imaging Technology Inc. today announced that the Aurora([R]) 1.5Tesla Dedicated Breast MRI System is immediately available to patients at the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center through Memorial Health Care System. The Aurora System is accessible to patients in Chattanooga, Tenn. and its surrounding areas at the 12,000...
Amended Claims to Be Filed Against Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Gradient Analytics, Inc. announced today that the Marin County Superior Court has ruled in the case of Overstock.com, Inc., v. Gradient that all of Gradient's cross-claims against Overstock, including claims for defamation, intentional interference with...
