T1 Maps From Shifted Echoes and Stimulated Echoes

Theory The proposed sequence is shown in Figure 1. The basic idea is to obtain a spin echo (SE) and a stimulated echo (STE) with different T1 weighting for T1 calculation. In contrast to the FastPACE technique, both echoes were acquired separately. Then, only magnitude images are required which allows for exploiting the Half Fourier technique and using phased array coils. Acquisition of the tru...

Echoes from a Warped Dimension

The Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, based on a slice of warped 5D spacetime, was originally introduced to explain the apparent hierarchy between the scales of weak and gravitational interactions. Over the past decade, this model has been extended to provide a predictive theory of flavor, as well as to address various constraints from precision data. In this talk, we will present a brief review of t...

Plant Signaling: Notes from the Underground

New studies combining genetic and grafting approaches in Arabidopsis provide evidence that a carotenoid derivative is a novel plant signaling molecule through which roots can influence shoot branching and leaf development.

Dust Echoes from Gamma-Ray Bursts.

The deviation from the power-law decline of the optical flux observed in GRB 970228 and GRB 980326 has been used recently to argue in favor of the connection between gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. We consider an alternative explanation for this phenomenon, based on the scattering of a prompt optical burst by 0.1 M middle dot in circle dust located beyond its sublimation radius 0.1-1 pc from t...
