  • Projections from the prefrontal cortex to subdivisions of the dorsal raphe nucleus were investigated in the rat using retrograde and anterograde tracing methods. A retrograde tracer, gold-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-apo-HRP-gold), was injected into each subdivision of the dorsal raphe including lateral wing, dorsomedial, and ventromedial areas. The majority of retrogradely labeled cells were located in the prelimbic, infralim-bic, and dorsal peduncular areas of the medial prefrontal cortex. A few cells were also identified in the cingulate, various regions of the orbital, and agranular insular cortices. Secondly, an anterograde tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), was injected into the medial prefrontal cortex involving the prelimbic or infralimbic areas. Axonal fibers with varicosities were identified in all subdivisions of the DR including the lateral wing, dorsomedial, and ventromedial areas. Projections were bilateral, with ipsilateral predominance. Axonal fibers were observed at the lateral border of medial longitudinal fasciculus or in the interfascicular region at the midline. The present findings demonstrate that both the midline and lateral wing regions of the dorsal raphe nucleus receive excitatory input from cognitive and emotional centers of the cerebral cortex.

  • The study will quantify the total uncertainties in streamflow and precipitation projections for Upper Awash River Basin located in central Ethiopia. Three hydrological models (GR4J, CAT, and HBV) will be used to simulate the streamflow considering two emission scenarios, six high-resolution GCMs, and two downscaling methods. The readily available hydrometeorological data will be applied as an input to the three hydrological models and the potential evapotranspiration will be estimated using the Penman-Monteith Method. The SCE-UA algorithm implemented in PEST will be used to calibrate the three hydrological models. The total uncertainty including the incremental uncertainty at each stage (emission scenarios and model) will be presented after assessing a total of 24 (=$2{\times}6{\times}2$) high-resolution precipitation projections and 72 (=$2{\times}6{\times}2{\times}3$) streamflow projections for the study basin. Finally, the primary causes that generate uncertainties in future climate change impact assessments will be identified and a conclusion will be made based on the finding of the study.

  • 3D backprojection is a kind of reconstruction algorithm to generate volume data consisting of tomographic images, which provides spatial information of the original 3D data from hundreds of 2D projections. The computational time of backprojection increases in proportion to the size of volume data and the number of projection images since the value of every voxel in volume data is calculated by considering corresponding pixels from hundreds of projections. For the reduction of computational time, fast GPU based 3D backprojection methods have been studied recently and the performance of them has been improved significantly. This paper presents two multiple GPU based methods to maximize the parallelism of GPU and compares the efficiencies of two methods by considering both the number of projections and the size of volume data. The first method is to generate partial volume data independently for all projections after allocating a half size of volume data on each GPU. The second method is to acquire the entire volume data by merging the incomplete volume data of each GPU on CPU. The in-complete volume data is generated using the half size of projections after allocating the full size of volume data on each GPU. In experimental results, the first method performed better than the second method when the entire volume data can be allocated on GPU. Otherwise, the second method was efficient than the first one.

  • A singular value decomposition (SVD) pseudo-inversion method has been applied to the image reconstruction from projections. This approach is relatively unknown and differs from conventionally used reconstructioll methods such as the Foxier convolution and iterative techniques. In this paper, two SVD pseudo-inversion methods have been discussed for the search of optimum reconstruction and restoration, one using truncated inverse filtering, the other scalar Wiener filtering. These methods partly overcome the ill-conditioned nature of restoration problems by trading off between noise and signal quality. To test the SVD pseudo-inversion method, simulations were performed from projection data obtained from a phantom using truncated inversefiltering. The results are presented together with some limitations particular to the applications of the method to the general class of 3-D image reconstruction and restoration.
