Automatic segmentation of pulmonary vessels is a fundamental and essential task for the diagnosis of various pulmonary vessels diseases.The accuracy of segmentation is suffering from the complex vascular structure.In this paper, an Improved Residual Attention U-Net (IRAU-Net) aiming to segment pulmonary vessel in 3D is proposed.To extract more vess
A muon collider or Higgs factory requires significant reduction of the six dimensional emittance of the beam prior to acceleration.One method to accomplish this involves building a cooling channel using high pressure gas filled radio frequency cavities.The performance of such a cavity when subjected to an intense particle beam must be investigated
Astrocytes, one of the largest glial cell population in the central nervous system (CNS), play a key function in several events of brain development and function, such as synapse formation and function, control of neurotransmitters release and uptake, production of trophic factors and control of neuronal survival.Initially described as a homogenous
PURPOSE:This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the combination of oral vinorelbine with erlotinib using the conventional (CSV) and metronomic (MSV) dosing schedules in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS:This was an open-label, multiple dose-escalation phase I study.An alternating
We show how a general formulation of the Fluctuation-Response Relation is able to describe in detail the connection between response Ball - Accessories - Sunglasses properties to external perturbations and spontaneous fluctuations in systems with fast and slow variables.The method is tested by using the 360-variable Lorenz-96 model, where slow and
