Compatibility of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana with Some Fungicides Used in California Strawberry
Authors: Dara Surendra K.
Published: May 2017

Background:

Entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana is pathogenic to several arthropod pests of strawberry in California and an important part of integrated pest management choices. However, fungicides applied for managing foliar and fruit diseases could interfere with the efficacy of B. bassiana.

Objective:

To determine the compatibility of some commonly used fungicides in strawberry with B. bassiana.

Method:

Laboratory assays were conducted using the larvae of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor. Mortality and infection caused by B. bassiana in T. molitor was compared in the presence and absence of seven fungicides that have different modes of action.

Result:

Mortality T. molitor larvaedue to B. bassiana was significantly affected in the presence of fungicides, myclobutanil (Rally) and captan (Captan). A significant reduction in the infection also occurred in the presence of captan, myclobutanil, and sulfur (Microthiol Disperss). Fenhexamid (Elevate) and pyraclostrobin + boscalid (Pristine) were the most compatible fungicides.

Conclusion:

Using certain fungicides with B. bassiana can be detrimental to the efficacy of the latter. However, certain fungicides are compatible with B. bassiana. These results help identify appropriate fungicides to be used when B. bassiana is applied for pest management.
Why do Pain Physicians Not Routinely Use Mixed Opioids for the Prevention of Neuraxial Opioid-induced Pruritus?
Authors: Bujedo Borja Mugabure
Published: May 2017

Background:

Pruritus is a very disturbing secondary effect that appears after epidural or intrathecal administration of opioid drugs, especially in the management of postoperative pain. It is induced by the activation of mu opioid receptors and it can often be even more unpleasant than the pain being treated.

Objective:

A wide variety of drugs with different mechanisms of action have been used, aiming at the prevention of pruritus, with varying results. The aim of this comprehensive review letter is to summarize the current evidence of the available pharmacological options to either treat or prevent pruritus induced by spinal opioids.

Method:

The articles used in the review were found through a search in Medline, PubMed and Cochrane Library up to December 2016, using the keywords “Neuraxial opioids”, “Intrathecal morphine”, “Pruritus”, “Naloxone”, “Nalbuphine” and “Butorphanol”.

Results:

The most useful drugs act on the mu and kappa opioid receptors. They are either mu opioid antagonists, like intravenous naloxone, or mixed opioids mu antagonists/kappa agonists, such as intravenous nalbuphine and intravenous or epidural butorphanol, the latter being able also for maintaining the analgesia.

Conclusion:

Both pruritus prevention and treatment remain a challenge in the treatment of patients receiving spinal opioids for postoperative pain. Recent findings suggest that mixed opioids must be added to evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of pruritus induced by spinal opioids.
Hazardous Home Medical Care Waste Collection: A Six Year Follow-up Study
Authors: Ikeda Yukihiro
Published: May 2017

Background:

Domestic medical waste from Home Medical Care (HMC) is a concern in Japan. In 2005, the Japanese government provided that HMC waste is collected by municipalities. HMC waste includes infectious or sharps, thus such waste should be collected by doctor or nurse. Nevertheless, no studies have examined the collection of separate HMC waste items, such as needles and infectious agents.

Objective:

To demonstrate the current HMC waste collection status for individual items and to assess whether HMC waste collection rate by nurses has been changed since the initial study.

Methods:

A questionnaire was mailed and delivered 1,022 offices, from which 677 office nurses replied for the follow-up study, 27 had closed down, and five had integrated with other offices. Thus, the final analysis was conducted in 645 offices. Offices were classified into three groups according to the size of the local population.

Results:

Most of the used syringes and needles, were collected by a nurse or doctor. More nurses in small-sized cities collected used syringes and needles from patients’ homes than nurses in medium- or large-sized cities. In contrast, more doctors in large-sized cities collected used syringes and needles from patients’ homes than doctors in small- or medium-sized cities. HMC waste collection rates by nurses for all city sizes had decreased since the baseline study. Both 2009 and 2015 study, the collection rate of HMC waste by nurse was as high as small-sized city and lower as large-sized city. The trend of this did not change over six years.

Conclusion:

The collection rate of HMC waste by nurses has declined in the last six years. This indirectly indicated that the HMC waste collection rate of municipalities improved in six years. Safe HMC waste collection program awareness should be promoted among nurses, doctors and patients. It is necessary for healthcare workers to work in cooperation with municipalities. The development of standardized guidelines for HMC waste handling protocols should be a priority for all municipalities.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza założeń projektowych wybranych przykładów architektury uzdrowisko- wej, powstałej w Karpatach i Sudetach w latach 60. i 70. XX wieku, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem relacji budynek- -krajobraz. Analiza obejmuje zarówno poszczególne rozwiązania architektoniczne i urbanistyczne, jak i będące ich tłem aspekty społeczno-polityczne oraz ideowe. Nakreślenie modernistycznych poglądów na relację natury i kultury oraz specyfiki wy- poczynku w Polsce Ludowej stanowi wprowadzenie do właściwego problemu badawczego. Analizie poddano zarówno zasady kształtowania zespołów zabudowy (w tym – związków z istniejącymi ośrodkami), jak i kształtowanie form pojedyn- czych budynków. Studia przypadków obrazują ogólnie panujące wówczas tendencje w budownictwie uzdrowiskowym. Zestawienie obiektów oraz opisów archiwalnych im towarzyszących unaocznia, iż obiekty, które dziś często po- strzegane bywają jako „niechciane dziedzictwo komunizmu”, stanowiły efekt panującej wówczas filozofii i przekonań dotyczących architektury. Zrozumienie tych związków może stanowić asumpt dla dalszych badań, których celem by- łaby waloryzacja powojennej architektury polskich uzdrowisk.

Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Treat Emotional Distress After Stroke: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Simblett Sara K , Yates Matthew , Wagner Adam P , Watson Peter , Gracey Fergus , Ring Howard , Bateman Andrew
Published: May 2017

Background

Depression and anxiety are common complications following stroke. Symptoms could be treatable with psychological therapy, but there is little research on its efficacy.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate (1) the acceptability and feasibility of computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) to treat symptoms of depression and anxiety and (2) a trial design for comparing the efficacy of cCBT compared with an active comparator.

Methods

Of the total 134 people screened for symptoms of depression and anxiety following stroke, 28 were cluster randomized in blocks with an allocation ratio 2:1 to cCBT (n=19) or an active comparator of computerized cognitive remediation therapy (cCRT, n=9). Qualitative and quantitative feedback was sought on the acceptability and feasibility of both interventions, alongside measuring levels of depression, anxiety, and activities of daily living before, immediately after, and 3 months post treatment.

Results

Both cCBT and cCRT groups were rated as near equally useful (mean = 6.4 vs 6.5, d=0.05), while cCBT was somewhat less relevant (mean = 5.5 vs 6.5, d=0.45) but somewhat easier to use (mean = 7.0 vs 6.3, d=0.31). Participants tolerated randomization and dropout rates were comparable with similar trials, with only 3 participants discontinuing due to potential adverse effects; however, dropout was higher from the cCBT arm (7/19, 37% vs 1/9, 11% for cCRT). The trial design required small alterations and highlighted that future-related studies should control for participants receiving antidepressant medication, which significantly differed between groups (P=.05). Descriptive statistics of the proposed outcome measures and qualitative feedback about the cCBT intervention are reported.

Conclusions

A pragmatic approach is required to deliver computerized interventions to accommodate individual needs. We report a preliminary investigation to inform the development of a full randomized controlled trial for testing the efficacy of computerized interventions for people with long-term neurological conditions such as stroke and conclude that this is a potentially promising way of improving accessibility of psychological support.
Hacia dónde enfocar la investigación en arquitectura. La propuesta de Santiago Cirugeda
Authors: González Ortiz Humberto
Published: May 2017

El derecho a la ciudad requiere de la participación ciudadana en la toma de decisiones de “cómo queremos vivir”. En este terreno es donde aparece la figura de Santiago Cirugeda que desde España, nos replantea nuestra manera “sibarita” de “mirar” el hacer arquitectónico.Este aparente “crecimiento económico” de los últimos 10 o 15 años nos ha conducido a una paradoja arquitectónica y urbana: necesitamos con urgencia una nueva planificación y un nuevo planteamiento arquitectónico debido a la masificación de nuestras ciudades. Las “ciudades perdidas” crecen y se riegan como esporas por todos los rincones del Tercer Mundo (y del cuarto mundo rico). La arquitectura que nos propone Santiago Cirugeda “desde la rica Europa” es un ejemplo claro de humildad para los “grandes arquitectos” que desde “sus despachos de arquitectura” argumentan que proyectan la ciudad moderna.

Ultrashort pulsed multibeam processing head for parallel ultrafast micromachining
Authors: Jarczynski Manfred , Mitra Thomas , Brüning Stephan
Published: May 2017

In recent years, one trend in surface processing can be ascertained in ultrashort pulsed lasers with high pulse repetition rates, e.g., nearly cold ablation for gravure printing. Short pulse width leads to very high peak power (on a megawatt scale). Such a high peak fluence results in multiphoton absorption and enables precise micro- and sub-micro-structuring of surfaces. Additionally, ultrafast processing is compatible with a wide range of materials: besides metals, functional surfaces can be provided to several high-bandgap materials such as glass and ceramics. One challenge of ultrafast micromachining is process velocity. The operational capacity of these processes can be maximized by increasing the scan rate or by increasing the number of beams—subject parallelism. This contribution focuses on parallelism using ultrashort pulsed lasers with a high repetition rate and an individually addressable acousto-optic beam deflector. The core of the multibeam generation is a smooth diffractive beam splitter component with high spot uniformity and negligible power loss and a prismatic array compressor to match the beam pitch according to the beamlet spot size. The optical design and the practical implementation of an eight-beam processing head in combination with a high average power single-mode ultrashort pulsed laser source are presented, as is promising laboratory research currently underway along with the shortly projected micromachining results. Finally, we assess the prospects for scaling the optical system to several tens of beamlets. This contribution will address challenges such as the power of available ultrashort pulsed lasers which can be overcome by beam combining, parallelism using optical modulation components, and optomechanical integration.

Derecho a la ciudad, derechos en la ciudad /// Right to the City, Rights in the City
Authors: Ugalde Vicente
Published: May 2017

Este artículo examina la noción “derecho a la ciudad” en el contexto de la Ciudad de México. Para ello, el autor analiza las condiciones jurídicas actuales para el disfrute y exigibilidad de ese derecho a través de otros derechos relacionados con él, así como mediante su eventual inscripción en el régimen jurídico. En el análisis de la aprehensión jurídica y la justiciabilidad del derecho a la ciudad, el artículo presta especial atención a la condición de “ciudadanía”, y moviliza referentes empíricos relacionados con conflictos a propósito de “derechos en la ciudad”. Con este propósito presta especial interés al conflicto relacionado con la construcción de la Supervía Poniente en la Ciudad de México. Se trata de esclarecer si la noción de derecho a la ciudad es susceptible de traducirse en medios concretos para el disfrute de la urbe o si, por el contrario, es tan sólo una expresión, movilizadora pero desprovista de contenido jurídico. AbstractThis article examines the notion of “right to the city” in the context of Mexico City. To this end, the author analyzes the current legal conditions for the enjoyment and enforcement of that right through other rights related to it, and their possible inclusion in the legal system. In the analysis of legal apprehension and the justiciability of the right to the city, the article pays special attention to the status of “citizenship,” using empirical referents related to conflicts about “rights in the city”. For this purpose, special attention is paid to the conflict over the construction of the Western Superhighway in Mexico City. The paper seeks to clarify whether the concept of right to the city can be translated into concrete ways to enjoy the city, or whether, by contrast, it is merely an expression that mobilizes people yet is devoid of legal content.

Arquitectos (como médicos) del Seguro Social: ¿factibilidad o utopía?
Authors: Prieto González José Manuel
Published: May 2017

Las condiciones de pobreza y desigualdad que vive México, debidamente acreditadas por estudios recientes, obligan a replantear el enfoque prioritario que deberían asumir en el país profesiones como la de arquitecto, para estimular el compromiso social de sus integrantes, especialmente en relación con las periferias urbanas y la ciudad informal. Lo que aquí se plantea es la posibilidad de que México cuente con un cuerpo público de arquitectos al servicio principalmente de los sectores más desfavorecidos de la sociedad. Dadas las circunstancias, una propuesta así no debería verse siquiera en términos de elección; tendría que ser una obligación, moral sobre todo.

La “maquinación jesuita” en el imaginario ruso
Authors: Meyer Jean
Published: June 2017

La Rusia zarista del siglo xix vio emerger con virulencia una teoría de la conspiración en contra de la auténtica alma rusa, obviamente cristiana ortodoxa. El principal binomio de esta conspiración, catolicismo y jesuitas, no era nuevo, pues, data desde el mismo origen de La Compañía en el siglo XVI  Sin embargo, en un mundo europeo extenso en el que se han resentido las diversas crisis de las monarquías tradicionales habidas desde la Revolución francesa, el fantasma de los jesuitas como el Anticristo vuelve a surgir en el medio de un debate político en el que se pretende reforzar el carácter tradicional de la ortodoxia rusa. En este texto se ofrecen los parámetros para comprender los aspectos fundamentales de la construcción de la idea de la conspiración, no muy alejada en su estructura a otro tipo de teorías conspirativas, en la que intervienen intelectuales de la talla de Dostoyevski.

I Can Sell My Body If I Wanna: Riot Grrrl Body Writing and Performing Shameless Feminist Resistance
Authors: Perry Leah
Published: June 2017

Leah Perry presents a feminist history of Riot Grrrl and Kathleen Hanna in order to explore the hope and the limits of an individualist revolution in the 1990s. Perry takes on the performance of shamelessness, embodied in Hanna’s songs as well as through bodywriting, sex work, zine production, and other aspects of the riot grrrl movement. Ultimately Perry exposes the position of these performances: they are alternative youth culture for certain subjects which both work against and from within the structures of neoliberalism. Perry concludes that shamelessness might remain a promising space for an urgent anti-racist, feminist politics, if it can work to destabilize power and center women from oppressed groups.
Domestic Working as Gendered Space: A Study of Selected Localities in Kathmandu
Authors: Gotame Manira , Koirala Hriday L
Published: June 2017

Domestic work is often considered as the women’s work, but in the recent years many males have entered into this occupation. It was a customary to confine women into domestic space and thereby improving a system of both spatial control and social control on identity by males. The present paper tries to examine the socio-economic status, livelihood strategy, gender division of labor in domestic workers and the power relation with the owners and their family. The analysis is based on focus group discussion, key informant survey, observation and questionnaire survey of 63 domestic workers at several localities of Kathmandu. The findings indicated that majority of domestic workers were of 15 to 19 years of age. Many used to leave their homes for their desire of better education in the urban area. However, in terms of a livelihood strategy this occupation had rarely helped their parents economically. There existed discrepancies in work hours and types of work between male and female domestic workers. Yet, a very positive sign was that majority of domestic workers were being sent to school and allowed to use their free time study and other social activities. So, there has been a change in attitude of the owners towards them.The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 7, 2009: 23-32
Cultural Practices and Environment along the Bishnumati River in Kathmandu
Authors: Shrestha Shobha
Published: June 2017

The Bishnumati River is one of the major sources of water in Kathmandu city for domestic and agricultural uses. But the quality of the river environment has been degraded seriously since the last few years. This paper is an attempt to explore environmental condition along the Bishnumati River with specific focus on human activities, perception and institutional efforts in dealing with the river environment. Based on field observation, household survey, and key informant survey in eight segments along the river stretch from the city periphery to down town, the information acquired indicate that human activities related to environmentally sensitive phenomena were very much dominant in degrading the river environment. The local inhabitants were aware of the river environmental conservation. The local public agencies were however not seriousness in implementing the waste management activities, but instead they practiced environmentally sensitive activities at the riverbanks. Efforts at both local community and public agencies levels are most warranted to protect the Bishnumati river environment from further degradation. The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 7, 2009: 53-60

Published: June 2017

Towards at the active radial magnetic bearing with tightly-coupled redundant supporting structure, we propose a kind of fault-tolerant control strategy to make the remaining structures, under the failures of some electromagnetic actuators, reconfigured by compensating the magnetic flux loss to provide expected supporting force continually. By using FSS (fault status series) to describe the fault status of actuators, an index rule of the current distribution scheme has been designed to resolve different failure conditions of actuators. Fault-tolerant control model has been established to verify the electromagnetic force generation in tightly-coupled redundant supporting structures after failure of actuators. The influence characteristic and mechanism of the bias current coefficient to electromagnetic force generation have been analyzed. The application example shows that fault-tolerant control strategy discussed can restrain the influence of the disturbing force to stabilize the rotor even under the failures of some actuators. In addition, inappropriate selection of the bias current coefficient will be easy to cause electromagnetic force limited by saturation constraint, and unable to provide the desired supporting force, which leads to rotor drop. Improving the real-time performance will effectively reduce the rotor jitter in the reconfiguration of redundant structure discussed.

Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:

Lower back pain has a lifetime prevalence of 80% for people in a modern society, and in recent years, spinal stabilization movement has been highlighted as a method to treat lower back pain and an unbalanced position.

OBJECTIVE:

The objectives of this study were to assess the trunk muscle activities in accordance with the tilt angles (10[Formula: see text], 20[Formula: see text], 30[Formula: see text], 40[Formula: see text]) during trunk tilt exercises with a 3D dynamic exercise device.

METHODS:

Active tilt mode (a self-generated active movement in the angle and direction steered by the user) was used in this study. The rotation capability enabled the investigation of the anterior (A), anterior right (AR), right (R), posterior right (PR), posterior (P), posterior left (PL), left (L), and anterior left (AL) tilt directions. EMG signals of the trunk (3 global muscles: rectus abdominis, RA, external obliques, EO, latissimus dorsi, LD, and 1 local muscle: multifidus, MF) muscles were obtained.

RESULTS:

The MF muscle activity was higher while the anterior tilt was maintained, and the abdominal muscle activity was higher while the posterior tilt was maintained. Also, as the tilt angle increased, the activity of the muscles opposite the tilt direction increased.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results indicate that to maintain equilibrium through posture stabilization during whole body tilting, the human body maintains a proper interaction among the body segments as well as between the body and the execution environment. Moreover, stability is maintained through the co-contraction of antagonistic and agonistic muscles. In future studies, it will be important to conduct research on improving imbalance in the trunk muscles.

Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:

Stroke is a frequently-occurring disease and is a severe threat to human health.

OBJECTIVE:

We aimed to explore the associations between stroke risk factors.

METHODS:

Subjects who were aged 40 or above were requested to do surveys with a unified questionnaire as well as laboratory examinations. The Apriori algorithm was applied to find out the meaningful association rules. Selected association rules were divided into 8 groups by the number of former items. The rules with higher confidence degree in every group were viewed as the meaningful rules.

RESULTS:

The training set used in association analysis consists of a total of 985,325 samples, with 15,835 stroke patients (1.65%) and 941,490 without stroke (98.35%). Based on the threshold we set for the Apriori algorithm, eight meaningful association rules were obtained between stroke and its high risk factors. While between high risk factors, there are 25 meaningful association rules.

CONCLUSIONS:

Based on the Apriori algorithm, meaningful association rules between the high risk factors of stroke were found, proving a feasible way to reduce the risk of stroke with early intervention.
Potential for false positive results from multi-voxel pattern analysis on functional imaging data
Authors: Zhang Zuo , Jiang Youhao , Sun Yaoru , Zhang Hong
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:

Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) provides a powerful tool to investigate neural mechanisms for various cognitive processes under functional brain imaging. However, the high sensitivity of the MVPA method could bring about false positive results, which has been overlooked by previous research.

OBJECTIVE:

We investigated the potential for obtaining false positives from the MVPA method.

METHODS:

We conducted MVPA on a public functional MRI dataset on the neural encoding of various object categories. Different scenarios for pattern classification were involved by varying the number of voxels for each region of interest (ROI) and the number of object categories.

RESULTS:

The classification accuracy became higher with more voxels involved, and false positive results emerged for the primary auditory cortex and even a white matter ROI, where object-related neural processing was not supposed to occur.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our results imply that the classification accuracy obtained from MVPA may be inflated due to the high sensitivity of the method. Therefore, we suggest involving control ROIs in future MVPA studies and comparing the classification accuracy for a target ROI with that for a control ROI, instead of comparing the obtained accuracy with the chance-level accuracy.
Design of an ultrasonic physiotherapy system with pulse wave feedback control
Authors: Peng Ran , Luo Yang , Li Zhangyong , Wang Wei , Pang Yu
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:

Due to different physical and biological mechanisms behind ultrasound hyperthermia and phonophoresis, the requirement for ultrasound power, frequency and control modes varies.

OBJECTIVE:

This paper introduces an adaptive ultrasonic physiotherapy system based on real-time surveillance over physiological characteristics of the patients, which in turn assists the individual treatment and dose limitation in auxiliary rehabilitation.

METHODS:

The method essentially takes advantage of distinctive characteristics of two different phases (systole and diastole) of the human cardiac cycle as a medium for modulation. The abundance of blood flow during systole enables energy exchange for hyperthermia while blood flow insufficiency caused by diastole assists in drug penetration. Said method could improve the adjuvant therapy as it provides partial drug penetration and therapeutic dosage control.

RESULTS:

By adjusting time window and intensity of multi-frequency ultrasound, it is possible to reduce the irradiation dosage to around 22% of that during continuous irradiation at 1 MHz. The method shows high potential in clinical practice.

CONCLUSION:

Frequency-tuning ultrasound therapy would be more efficient regarding drug penetration and improve the therapeutic efficacy of hyperthermia.

Published: June 2017

The fuzzy degree of lung nodule boundary is the most important cue to judge the lung cancer in CT images. Based on this feature, the paper proposes a novel lung cancer detection method for CT images based on the super-pixels and the level set segmentation methods. In the proposed methods, the super-pixels method is used to segment the lung region and the suspected lung cancer lesion region in the CT image. The super-pixels method and a level set method are used to segment the suspected lung cancer lesion region simultaneously. Finally, the cancer is determined by the difference between results of the two segmentation methods. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a high accuracy for lung cancer detection in CT images. For gross glass nodule, pleural nodule, the vascular nodules and solitary nodules, the sensitivity of the detection algorithm are respectively 91.3%, 96.3%, 80.9% and 82.3%.

Authors: Liu Qi , Zhao Xiaoguang , Hou Zengguang , Liu Hongguang
Published: June 2017

This paper presents a pattern recognition model using multiple features and the kernel extreme learning machine (ELM), improving the accuracy of automatic epilepsy diagnosis. After simple preprocessing, temporal- and wavelet-based features are extracted from epileptic EEG signals. A combined kernel-function-based ELM approach is then proposed for feature classification. To further reduce the computation, Cholesky decomposition is introduced during the process of calculating the output weights. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve satisfactory accuracy with less computation time.
Optimal three-dimensional reconstruction for lung cancer tissues
Authors: Huang Xiaoguang , Yue Shihong , Wang Chuanlei , Wang Huaxiang
Published: June 2017

The existing three-dimensional (3D) x-ray reconstruction methods for lung cancer tissue reconstruct the investigated objects based on a series of two-dimensional (2D) image sections and a chosen 3D reconstruction algorithm. However, because these procedures apply the same segmentation method for all 2D image sections, they may not achieve the optimal segmentation for each section. As a result, the reconstructed 3D images have limited spatial resolution. Furthermore, the existing 3D reconstruction method is time-consuming and results in a limited time resolution. This research presents an innovation of 3D reconstruction by reformulating two main components of the method. First, a validity index for fuzzy clustering is used to obtain the optimal segmentations of any 2D x-ray image. The process is realized by automatically determining the optimal number of clusters for the image. Second, unlike the existing 3D reconstruction methods, a fast-FCM algorithm is used to speed up the 2D image segmenting process, thereby raising the time resolution of the 3D reconstruction process. With the aid of commonly used VTK software, the proposed method has been used to visualize four classes of typical lung cancer tissues: adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Experimental results validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Thus, the method contributes a useful tool for x-ray-based 3D image reconstruction.
