Abstract: A system for objectively analyzing medical image data for the presence of diffuse white matter abnormalities (DWMA) is configured to identify and determine DWMA characteristics that are not visually apparent. As compared to subjective visual diagnosis, objectively determined DWMA characteristics may be automatically compared to each other, and may be compared to and associated with various scales, evaluations, or other assessment criteria used to measure aspects of infant development. As a result, the disclosed system may objectively determine an impact that objectively determined DWMA characteristics will have on one or more developmental scales, which can be expressed as a time deficit, score deficit, or other value indicative of development deficits.

Abstract: A method for motion correction of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is provided. The method includes acquiring a k-space dataset for an object using an MR scanner, detecting or identifying corrupted k-space data from the acquired k-space dataset, extracting the corrupted k-space data from the acquired k-space dataset, recovering the corrupted k-space data, combining uncorrupted k-space data of the acquired k-space dataset with the recovered k-space data to form a full k-space dataset, and reconstructing an image for the object based on the full k-space dataset. A magnetic resonance imaging system for correcting corrupted k-space data of an entire k-space dataset is also provided.

Abstract: A method for k-space registration is provided. The method of k-space registration includes receiving a first partial k-space dataset for an object and a second partial k-space dataset for the object, selecting the first partial k-space dataset as a reference, selecting feature for estimating a transformation matrix for transforming k-space data, estimating a transformation matrix based on the feature of entire or part of the first partial k-space dataset and the feature of the second partial k-space dataset corresponding to the entire or part of the first partial k-space dataset, correcting the second partial k-space dataset based on the transformation matrix, and obtaining the corrected second partial k-space dataset. The present method is further used for partial Fourier reconstruction.

The electronic device acquires a travelling simulation video of the road section to be tested and a real environment image of each location point on the road section to be tested, generates a linkage video according to the navigation simulation image and the real environment image of each location point on the road section to be tested, and evaluates a first map according to the linkage video. In the process, the navigation map is evaluated through a way of simulation, which achieves the purpose of reducing the cost of manpower and material resources in the process of the navigation map evaluation.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting object-based security features for use with messaging services in an application server environment. Credentials can be associated with a JNDI initial context or a JMS connection instead of a thread. For JNDI operations, a lookup call from the initial context can use a security subject in an initial context regardless of a security subject attached to a current thread of the lookup call. For JMS operations, the object-based security model can be enabled on a JMS connection factory, which is used to create a JMS connection associated a security subject based on credentials supplied to create the JMS connection. The JMS connection performs a plurality of JMS operations on different threads using the security subject. The object-based security model is automatically enabled for JMS connection operations once the JMS is accessed using an OBS-enabled JNDI context.

Abstract: A computer-controlled method of handling proprietary features in a messaging system includes receiving an object from a requesting application, determining that the object invokes proprietary features of a messaging system, accessing a wrapper library and wrapping the object in an appropriate wrapper for the messaging system to produce a wrapped object, the wrapper to preserve the proprietary feature, and transmitting the wrapped object to the messaging system.
