A Novel Measure of Fractional Anisotropy Based on the Tensor Distribution Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Fractional anisotropy (FA), a very widely used measure of fiber integrity based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), is a problematic concept as it is influenced by several quantities including the number of dominant fiber directions within each voxel, each fiber's anisotropy, and partial volume effects from neighboring gray matter.

Seismic anisotropy in siliciclastic reservoir rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The interpretation of geophysical field measurements of seismic anisotropy is presently limited by our knowledge of the controls of the elastic anisotropy of sedimentary rocks in the subsurface. Traditionally, laboratory ultrasonic velocity measurements

Fractional calculus of periodic distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Two approaches for defining fractional derivatives of periodic distributions are presented. The first is a distributional version of the Weyl fractional derivative in which a derivative of arbitrary order of a periodic distribution is defined via Fourier

Fractional transformations of generalised functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A distributional theory of fractional transformations is developed. A constructive approach, based on the eigenfunction expansion method pioneered by A. H.

Attenuated Fractional Wave Equations With Anisotropy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vibration and Acoustics, 2014
This paper develops new fractional calculus models for wave propagation. These models permit a different attenuation index in each coordinate to fully capture the anisotropic nature of wave propagation in complex media. Analytical expressions that describe power law attenuation and anomalous dispersion in each direction are derived for these fractional

Housing quality and behavior affect brain health and anxiety in healthy Japanese adults

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Countless studies in animals have shown how housing environments and behaviors can significantly affect anxiety and brain health, giving valuable insight as to whether this is applicable in the human context.

Utility of manual fractional anisotropy measurements in the management of patients with Parkinson disease: a feasibility study with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging system

open access: yesActa Radiologica Open, 2021
Background Diffusion tensor imaging has emerged as a promising tool for quantitative analysis of neuronal damage in Parkinson disease, with potential value for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation.

Prediction of the motor prognosis with diffusion tensor imaging in hemorrhagic stroke: a meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
This paper investigates whether diffusion tensor imaging performed within 2 weeks of intracerebral hemorrhage onset could predict the motor outcome by categorizing previous diffusion tensor imaging studies based on the time-point of performing ...

Fractional anisotropy in individuals with schizophrenia and their nonpsychotic siblings [PDF]

open access: yesPsychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2015
Fractional anisotropy (FA) was examined in a priori selected fiber tracts in individuals with schizophrenia (n=25) and their non-psychotic siblings (n=29) versus controls (n=35). FA was reduced in a portion of the fornix in individuals with schizophrenia (although this did not survive correction for the number of tracts investigated).
