The great strength of Alice and the Fly lies in its wickedly satirical portrayal of a world in which everyone tries to cover up the emptiness of their existence by means of "metaphorical phantoms", to borrow Greg's expression for his imaginary spiders.
This was achieved by means of long dynamic phantom acquisitions designed to provide a fair comparison of image quality and lesion detectability, as a function of activity, between the new PET/MR system and a state-of-the art PET/CT.
After being infected by a Phantom during one of her experiments, Aki Ross (Ming-Na) and her mentor, Doctor Sid Donald Sutherlandd), uncover a means of defeating the Phantoms by gathering eight spirit signatures that, when joined, can negate the Phantoms.
We report the mean of processing time (phantom {dot {i}!}t_{text {FB}_{x}}^) and (phantom {dot {i}!}t_{text {FB}_{x}}) respectively, computed relatively for the MOTS and for a single occurrence (Section 3.4).
Energy deposition spectra, linear energy transfer spectra, and flux and dose rates for charged particles will be measured simultaneously with near real time resolution at different depths of the phantom by means of three silicon detectors.
To convert counts/s into activity in volumes of interest, the scanner was calibrated by means of a hollow anthropomorphic Torso phantom (Data Spectrum Corporation, Hillsborough, USA) with a set of hollow spheres (volume: 1.5, 0.6, 0.3 mL) and other home-made inserts (two Eppendorf microtubes of 1.5 mL, two conical tubes of 50 mL).
More complex modelling of the average genetic level of phantom parents is possible by means of the fuzzy-classification approach.
The curve labeled with D i, corresponding to (phantom {dot {i}!}f_{mathbf {y}_{pi }, i}), complies to a zero-mean Gaussian distribution with variance as ith diagonal element of (phantom {dot {i}!}mathbf {Sigma }_{mathbf {y}_{pi }}).
An old anecdote renders the idea of what we mean by "the phantom of the structure": a hammer is essentially composed of two parts: the handle and the head.
