The acquisition time course is often over several minutes for DCE [dynamic contrast enhancement], while DSC [dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast] is about 60 seconds in length. This time allows for measurement of the wash-in and wash-out of the contrast material in the EES [extracellular extravascular space]. There are several methods for image interpretation. The simplest method is to examine the signal intensity curves over time for a region of interest. The rate or slope of the wash-in and wash-out curve for multiple regions of interest can be visually assessed.  2, record 1, English, - wash%2Dout%20curve

Related to the concept of an "ultimate" limit to length of life is the idea of compression of mortality. This term is invoked(e. g., Fries, 1980) to describe a population in which the proportion of people surviving to advanced ages begins to approach what is assumed to be a biologically(presumably genetic) predetermined age limit to human survival. At this limit, the survival curve "rectangularizes", although a mathematically precise formulation of what constitutes rectangularization is not yet available. There are, however, a general set of order relations for different types of "survival curves" that we can use graphically to illustrate rectangularization.  1, record 7, English, - rectangularization

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The term "constant current" is obtained from the intersection point of the volt ampere curve and the welding arc voltage. If the welder maintains a constant arc length, the welding current will remain the same. Should the welder raise or lower the torch height, a new voltage intersection line is obtained. This movement of the torch raises or lowers the welding power supply output current. Notice that the curve is not straight but drooping. Because of this characteristic, the machines may also be called "droopers".  1, record 8, English, - drooper

The von Koch curve. An interesting curve S shaped like a snowflake was proposed by von Koch(1904). It may be defined as follows. Let S₀ be the three sides of an equilateral triangle, each side having length one. Then the length of the curve S₀ is three. Let S₁ be the curve for which the middle third of each straight part of S₁ is replaced by two equal straight lines directed outwards, so that the replacement is two sides of an equilateral triangle of which the middle third is the base.  8, record 9, English, - snowflake
