Noninvasive Quantification of Myocardial 11C-Meta-Hydroxyephedrine Kinetics.

Unlabelled: (11)C-meta-hydroxyephedrine ((11)C-HED) kinetics in the myocardium can be quantified using a single-tissue-compartment model together with a metabolite-corrected arterial blood sampler input function (BSIF). The need for arterial blood sampling, however, limits clinical applicability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of replacing arterial sampling with imaging-derived input function (IDIF) and venous blood samples.

Effective application of improved profit-mining algorithm for the interday trading model.

Many real world applications of association rule mining from large databases help users make better decisions. However, they do not work well in financial markets at this time. In addition to a high profit, an investor also looks for a low risk trading with a better rate of winning.

Seasonal dynamics of arboreal spider diversity in a temperate forest.

Measuring and estimating biodiversity patterns is a fundamental task of the scientist working to support conservation and inform management decisions. Most biodiversity studies in temperate regions were often carried out over a very short period of time (e.g.
