Only episodes of delirium occurring at least one wave prior to participants last known as having no dementia were regarded as an exposure; controls were subjects in whom dementia was never ascertained using the thorough methods described above.
In the first experiment, the laser attenuator was adjusted sequentially through 15, 10, 5, and 0 dBs at intervals of approximately 100 s to mimic an automatic exposure control experiment of an irregularly shaped specimen (Fig. 5a displays the intensity of one PMT detector channel and the reference detector over time).
The camera controller (CC) in Table 1 includes an automatic exposure control algorithm presented in [24].
Depletion was verified using treated IgG in western blotting of solubilized FPs, using an horseradish peroxidase (HRP -linked protein standard as an internal exposure control (MagicMark; Invitrogen).
Mammography imaging units incorporate an Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) system.
Low-dose CT data for Biograph 16 was acquired at 120 kVp using an auto exposure control system, beam pitch of 0.833, slice thickness of 5 mm, and that data for Discovery PET/CT 600 was acquired at 120 kVp using an auto exposure control system, beam pitch of 0.938, slice thickness of 3.75 mm.
Scan times were 18 s (3.6 s emission time), with 110 kV, and utilized an automatic exposure control that adjusted the milliampere based upon the patient's anatomic density.
Tube currents were determined by an automatic exposure control in the CT machine and the tube current showing actual range of 110 400 mA.
HRCT protocol and machine was the same for all included patients at peak tube voltage of 120 kVp and approximately ≤240 mAs using an automatic exposure control system (Toshiba Medical Systems, Tochigi, Japan).
Those who agreed to participate and provide verbal informed consent were randomly assigned into a text4baby exposure or to a no exposure (control) group.
