Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive but slow imaging modality for studying different anatomical and functional aspects of human body. However, it is difficult for a patient to remain motionless during the slow MR acquisition process. The subject motion is one of the main hurdles in MRI due to the fact that the respiratory motion is faster compared to acquisition process resulting in ghosted and blurry recovered images. Cardiac and abdominal MR imaging is mostly affected by respiratory motion. In this thesis, compressive sensing (CS) based new approaches are developed to tackle the respiratory motion in cardiac and abdominal MRI examination. The cost function used by CS based MR recovery algorithms include ?1-norm penalty to exploit the transformed domain sparsity of the acquired MR data. The initial part of dissertation presents a comparison of surrogate functions used to approximate the l1-norm penalty. The experimental work shows that the hyperbolic tangent based function outperforms its competing function in the recovery of static MR images for different acceleration rates and various Gaussian noise levels. Based on these findings, an iterative thresholding algorithm utilizing hyperbolic tangent based ?1-norm approximation is developed to recover free breathing dynamic MR images from sub-sampled k-space data. A block matching algorithm, known as Adaptive Rood Pattern Search (ARPS) is then used to estimate and correct respiratory motion among the recovered images. In the next part, an adaptive thresholding parameter utilizing the MR data statistics is derived and used in wavelet domain shrinkage to recover both static and dynamic MR images. A novel iterative shrinkage thresholding (IST) algorithm based on the derived adaptive parameter is also proposed. Results show that the MR recovery using adaptive threshold is more effective in the presence of motion as compared to fixed threshold value. The final part presents the reduction of motion artifacts in the recovery of under-sampled abdominal and liver dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MR images using data binning and low-rank plus sparse (L+S) decomposition. In the data binning, radial k-space data is acquired continuously using golden-angle radial sampling pattern and grouped into various motion states or bins. The respiratory signal for binning is extracted directly from radially acquired k-space data. A compressed sensing (CS)-based L+S matrix decomposition model is then used to reconstruct good quality DCE MR images. The proposed techniques are validated using simulated and clinical MRI data.

Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam Siswa Kelas XI Di SMA Ekasakti Padang Dengan Metode Pembelajaran Demonstration Berbasis Discussion Process

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peningkatan keaktifan dan hasil belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) setelah diterapkannya metode pembelajaran demonstration berbasis discussion process. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Penelitian dilakukan di SMA EKASAKTI Padang pada kelas XI. Metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah: observasi, wawancara,   dokumentasi, dan tes. Analisis  data  dalam  penelitian  ini  dilakukan  secara deskriptif  kuantitatif  dan kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah: (1). Kesiapan siswa dalam menerima pelajaran  sebelum  dilakukan  tindakan  39, 06%,   setelah siklus  I 70, 31%, dan setelah siklus II 86, 23%. (2). Keaktifan siswa dalam proses pembelajaran sebelum dilakukan tindakan 23, 18%, setelah siklus I 67, 97%, dan setelah siklus II 85, 41%. (3). Persentase siswa yang mendapatkan nilai tuntas di atas 70 sebelum dilakukan tindakan 31, 75%, setelah siklus I 68, 25%, dan setelah siklus II 87, 75%. (4). Terdapat peningkatan yang signifikan antara masing-masing indikator pada setiap siklus, hal tersebut dapat di lihat  dari  peningkatan  kesiapan,   keaktifan,   dan  hasil  belajar  siswa  pada  saat sebelum dilakukan tindakan, pada siklus I dan pada siklus II. Pada siklus II semua indikator telah melampaui target persentase indikator keberhasilan yang telah ditetapkan.  Sehingga  siklus  penelitian dapat  dihentikan  pada  siklus  II dan dapat di tarik kesimpulan bahwa metode pembelajaran demonstration berbasis  discussion process berhasil serta lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan metode ceramah.

Bioremediation of Cadmium Contaminated Soil With the Help of Organic Manures

Cadmium (Cd) is extremely toxic metal which usually causes reduction in plant growth and inhibits native biota. The toxic effects of Cd on plant growth and bacterial community may decrease with the help of different bacterial and organic amendments (bacteria, compost, biogas slurry). Bacterial and organic amendments (BOA) may stabilize Cd in soil and alleviate Cd stress on plants. A series of experiments in controlled and natural environments were conducted to achieve these objectives. Cadmium toxicity may reduce seed germination and seedling growth of wheat and maize. These cereals were exposed to various levels of Cd (0, 5, 20, 50 and 80 mg L-1) to evaluate its effect on seed germination and seedling growth of four wheat and three maize cultivars. Wheat cultivars Sehar-06 and Inqlab-91 whereas maize cultivars SH-919 and PH-3068 was found tolerant and sensitive, respectively to Cd stress. The sensitive cultivars of wheat and maize were further used in successive experiments. The different levels (0, 5, 10, 15 Mg ha-1) each of compost and biogas slurry used to deterimine their effect on growth of sensitive cultivars exposed to different levels of Cd (0, 5, 20, 50, 80 mg kg-1 soil). Compost applied at the rate of 10 and 15 Mg ha-1 significantly increased seedling growth, fresh and dry weight of wheat and maize, respectively, whereas biogas slurry at the rate of 15 Mg ha-1 increased seedling growth, fresh and dry weight of both cereals under Cd stress. Thirty bacterial strains were isolated based on morphology through enrichment technique. Minimum inhibitory concentration of these strains ranged from 200 to 500 mg Cd L-1 on LB plates and out of 30 only 11 strains showed tolerance to 80 mg Cd L-1 in LB broth which were further evaluated for plant growth promoting activity under various Cd levels. Cadmium stress limits plant growth but CTB strains significantly increased wheat and maize growth in normal and Cd contaminated soils. On the basis of maximum point scoring CTB strains CIK-502 and CIK-517Y in wheat whereas CIK-502 and CIK-512 in maize were found most effective in improving growth and biomass of both cereals in normal and Cd contaminated soils. The evaluation of selected BOA based on previous experiments were further assessed in sole and combination for improving wheat and maize productivity, physiology, antioxidant and Cd uptake in Cd contaminated soils (0, 20, 40 mg Cd kg-1) in natural conditions. Growth, yield and physiology of both cereals were rigorously affected by the exogenous application of Cd, however, performance of wheat and maize improved with the application of different BOA under non-stressed and Cd stressed conditions. Application of compost in combination with CIK-502 had maximum increase in growth, yield and physiology of wheat and maize compared to other amendments. The increased physiology, relative water content and water use efficiency whereas decreased electrolyte leakage with the application of BOA conferred their positive role in mitigating Cd stress on both cereals. On the other hand osmolytes and antioxidants increased significantly with the exogenous application of Cd. However, the combined application of different BOA significantly increased osmolytes accumulation especially compost and CIK-502 in both cereals but the activities of CAT, APX and GR greatly differed to Cd stress. The application of different BOA in general decreased CAT, APX, GR and MDA activities. It was observed that Cd accumulated in soil and plant tissues with its increasing exogenous application in soil however BOA significantly reduced its available fraction in soil, and subsequent uptake in root, shoot, grainand total plant of wheat and maize. Cadmium concentration in total plant, root, shoot and grains of wheat and maize decreased with the addition of compost along with CIK-502 and it was the function of AB-DTPA extractable Cd in soil. The BOA was more effectively decreased AB-DTPA extractable Cd in soil in the absence of plants. CTB strains were positive for inodle acetic acid, polyhydroxy butyric acid, P-solubilization, exopolysacharide, NH3-production, ACC-deamianse, catalase and oxidase activities. The complete 16S rRNA gene based identification showed their similarity with genera Klebsiella, Stenotrophomonas, Bacillus and Serratia.
