HIV-associated dementia (HAD) is an important complication of the central nervous system
in patients who are infected with HIV-1. Although the incidence of HAD has markedly …

▪ Abstract Microglia are the principal immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and
have a critical role in host defense against invading microorganisms and neoplastic cells. …

… An additional advantage of the method is its suitability for the multigrid implementation (Scarano
and Riethmuller 1999) that allows one to improve the spatial resolution. It is important to remark …

The development of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), a measurement technique, which allows
for capturing velocity information of whole? ow? elds in fractions of a second, has begun …

This paper describes the principles of a novel 3D PIV system based on the illumination,
recording and reconstruction of tracer particles within a 3D measurement volume. The technique …

An adaptation of the original median test for the detection of spurious PIV data is proposed
that normalizes the median residual with respect to a robust estimate of the local variation of …

Extensive ecosystem restoration is increasingly seen as being central to conserving
biodiversity 1 and stabilizing the climate of the Earth 2 . Although ambitious national and global …

Background: Little is known about the mechanisms of bacterial interaction with implant
materials in the oral cavity. A correlation between plaque accumulation and progressive bone …

Background Current treatment recommendations for patients with polycythemia vera call for
maintaining a hematocrit of less than 45%, but this therapeutic strategy has not been tested …

An image-processing technique is proposed, which performs iterative interrogation of particle
image velocimetry (PIV) recordings. The method is based on cross-correlation, enhancing …
