(12) Excellent to good performances for phase-encoding artifact reduction, edge sharpness, and overall image quality were recorded for 89%, 88%, and 86% of RASE examinations, respectively, versus 41%, 59%, and 47% of conventional SE examinations, respectively.
(13) In steroidogenic tissues of the developing hen, specially in the right ovary, 5 beta reductase (Rase) increases after hatching.
(14) The rapid acquisition spin-echo (RASE) technique combines a short repetition time, a short echo time, and a single excitation pulse sequence with half-Fourier data sampling.
(15) Measurements obtained from volunteers and with phantoms reveal that RASE images have a lower signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio than do conventional multiacquisition spin-echo (SE) images due to reduced data acquisition.
(16) Images obtained with RASE were devoid of respiratory-related ghost artifacts or edge blurring.
(17) Rapid acquisition spin-echo (RASE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging allows for coverage of the entire liver with highly T1-weighted SE images during a single 23-second breath-holding period.
(18) A relationship between ALAs and Rase curves during embryonic development of the left ovary and the adrenal suggests that 5 beta pregnanedione is a natural inducer of ALAs in these functional endocrine glands, at least during their embryonic stages.
Rasse
Definition:
(n.) A carnivore (Viverricula Mallaccensis) allied to the civet but smaller, native of China and the East Indies. It furnishes a perfume resembling that of the civet, which is highly prized by the Javanese. Called also Malacca weasel, and lesser civet.
Example Sentences:
(1) "They are already alienated and marginalised, without faith in their future," said Abu Rass.
(2) But Thabet Abu Rass, professor of geography at Ben Gurion University in the main Negev city of Be'er Sheva, described the plan as a "declaration of war" on the Bedouin, intended to squeeze them into a tiny geographical area, hamper demographic growth, deny them equal rights as Israeli citizens and eliminate their way of life.

(5) The patient with RVI showed depressed RV function by AS measurement with decreased rASs of all regions in the acute phase.
(6) Last but not least, the introduction of the converting-enzyme (CE) inhibitors, generating an enormous scientific interest in the role of the RAS, has contributed to the concept of "tissue" RASs, since some of the effects of these drugs were thought to be reconciled better with "tissue" than with plasma RAS inhibition.
(7) But Abu Rass, who works with Adalah, a legal organisation for Israeli Arabs, said the Bedouin would oppose the Prawer plan "by all possible means".
(8) The discovery of the components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in various tissues gave rise to the idea that functional "tissue" RASs exist that are more or less independent of the hormonal RAS.
