Background: Staging of rectal cancer with MRI has major impact on treatment choice and may be of importance in new cancer management strategies such as “wait-and-see” policy. Purpose: To assess the reproducibility of a software package recently developed at our department to measure volumes, apparent diffusion coefficient, and the skewness of apparent diffusion coefficient in lymph nodes and tumor

Writing efficient parallel programs is the biggest challenge of the software industry for the foreseeable future. We are currently in a time when parallel computers are the norm, not the exception. Soon, parallel processors will be standard even in cell phones. Without drastic changes in hardware development, all software must be parallelized to its fullest extent. Parallelism can increase perfor

The interaction of light with multiple red blood cells was systematically investigated by the finite-different time-domain method. The simulations show that the lateral multiple scattering between red blood cells is very weak. The polarization is shown to have an almost insignificant influence on the distribution of the scattered light. The numerical results were compared with three approximate metho

Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat

New radiative lifetimes of 18 levels (energy range between 30 000 cm(-1)) and 39 000 cm(-1), in Ce II have been measured using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. A tunable frequency-doubled dye laser with I ns pulse duration was used to excite selectively singly ionized cerium in a laser-produced plasma The experimental results are compared with theoretical data and the agreement

The kinking of a corrosion crack due to mixed-mode fatigue loading is studied using an adaptive finite element procedure. The rate of material dissolution is assumed to be proportional to the stretching of the corroding surface. The dissolution of material is governed by a corrosion law, where no criterion is needed for neither crack growth nor growth direction. The problem is treated as a general
