An RPC-PET brain scanner demonstrator: first results
Fonte, Paulo; Lopes, Luís; Alves, Rui; Carolino, Nuno; Crespo, Paulo; Couceiro, Miguel; Cunha, Orlando; Dias, Nuno; Ferreira, Nuno C.; Fetal, SuseteWe present first results from a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner demonstrator based on Resistive Plate Chambers and specialized for brain imaging. The device features a 30 cm wide cubic field-of-view and each detector comprises 40 gas gaps with 3D location of the interaction point of the photon. Besides other imagery, we show that the reconstructed image resolution, as evaluated by a hot-rod phantom, ...
On the Topological Semigroup of Equational Classes of Finite Functions Under Co...
Almeida, J; Couceiro, Miguel; Waldhauser, TamasWe consider the set of equational classes of finite functions endowed with the operation of class composition. Thus defined, this set gains a semigroup structure. This paper is a contribution to the understanding of this semigroup. We present several interesting properties of this semigroup. In particular, we show that it constitutes a topological semigroup that is profinite and we provide a description of its ...
