Movies from India and Israel, and two French films dealing with Iranian subject matter, were selected in part with Long Island demographics in mind, said Sean McPhillips, the festival's senior programmer.
All 39 components were inspected after plotting to templates in GIFT, using a priori probabilistic maps, and those of interest whose patterns mainly consisted of gray matter rather than non-gray matter were selected.
To understand fouling mechanisms in the integrated system with softening and ultrafiltration, three different levels of softening performance in terms of removal of inorganics and organic matter were selected.
Regions of interest (ROI) from four anatomical locations (dorsal cerebral cortex, lateral cerebral cortex, striatum, and periventricular white matter) were selected bilaterally.
In stereology, SA and WSA manual, the user manually outlined a ROI that was clearly away from the cortex/white matter demarcation, so we could be confident that only neurons in the white matter were selected.
To do so, we used the grey matter probability map from SPM8 (Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, UK), that was binarized using a threshold of 0.3 – meaning that only voxels with a probability greater than 30%% of being grey matter were selected.
