When the simulated lesion incorporated a gradient of impairment, the left hemifield was again neglected (see example in figure 5a,b) but the extent to which the scan path entered the neglected hemifield was determined by the severity of the lesion i.e. the steepness of the gradient.
The procedure consists of a sequence of genetic algorithms (GA) runs, which incorporate a gradient-based hill-climbing algorithm, and make use of a derating function and of niching and clearing techniques to promote the occupation of different niches in the function to be optimized.
In order to quantitatively predict Peierls stress, a semi-discrete variational Peierls-Nabarro model is improved by incorporating an additional gradient energy term into the energy functional.
The proposed design flow methodology, which incorporates a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm, optimizes the power consumption (including leakage) of IC subsystems.
The establishment of a specific meshfree theory is based on high-order gradient continuity, by incorporating a higher-order Cauchy Born rule.
Toward this end we are developing a multi-outlet magnetophoresis instrument incorporating a fluidic flow chamber placed inside a magnetic field gradient.
A novel seal design incorporating an engineered thermal expansion gradient in a glass matrix with a TiNiHf shape memory alloy mesh for active stress relief and crack healing is being developed.
For these studies, we incorporated a simple microfluidic gradient generator composed of three inlet reservoirs and one outlet.
An 11 × 1140 μs echo-planar 2DRF pulse was developed and incorporated into a gradient-echo sequence.
Cerebral perfusion imaging used a multislice pulsed ASL sequence – FAIR (Flow sensitive Alternating Inversion Recovery) – with 4 slices (TE = 26 ms, TR = 4000 ms, inflow time 1700 ms, in plane resolution 4 × 4mm,slice thickness 6mm,FOV=256 × 256 mm) and incorporated a 10 ms bipolar gradient to suppress bulk flow.
