Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…This reproducible, noninvasive procedure is necessary because significant interpatient variation is believed to exist in the relative contributions of the hepatic segments to TLV.11 CT volumetry accurately predicts TLV on the basis of body surface area or body weight,12 which may achieve the true goal of preoperative CT volumetry of the liver, that is to estimate the individual patient's hepatic metabolic demands after resection or transplantation.7 Complications associated with technical aspects of liver surgery are decreasing, and focus has concurrently shifted to analysis of postoperative complications after major hepatic resection and liver transplantation on the basis of liver remnant volume and graft volume.3., 4., 6., 7., 8. and 13. …”

Novel Ternary Adder and Multiplier Designs Without Using Decoders or Encoders by Jihad Mohamed Aljaam (16864257)

“…Extensive simulations (over 160) of the proposed designs in terms of PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) variations, noise effect, and scalability studies, along with several benchmark designs using HSPICE simulator, prove the significance of the proposed circuits to decrease the power-delay product (PDP), improve the robustness to process variations, and the noise tolerance. …”

Walking around the preferred speed: examination of metabolic, perceptual, spatiotemporal and stability parameters by Lina Majed (7485380)

“…While metabolic, perceptual and spatiotemporal values were sensitive to the smallest change in speed (i.e., 0.5 km·h⁻¹⁾, a significant increase in the rate of carbohydrate oxidation and decrease in % fat oxidation were only observed at speeds above PWS. …”

Transfer function analysis between arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity at cardiac pacing frequencies in the rat by Kanbar, Roy

“…Cardiac pacing slightly increased mean AP (0.8 ± 0.2 mmHg/Hz) and decreased pulse pressure (−3.6 ± 0.3 mmHg/Hz) while leaving the mean level of RSNA essentially unaltered (P = 0.680, repeated-measures ANOVA). …”

Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering by Yahia, Mohamed

“…An expression that takes into account the following important numerical considerations is proposed. 1) The variability of the pixel is measured by coefficient variation (CV) rather than the variance. 2) The statistics are computed using non-local neighborhood instead of local square one. 3) A new normalizing function (i. e. hyperbolic tangent) is implemented. 4) The dynamic of range of b k is increased by multiplying the CVs of the filtered and the originals images. …”
