Do Commonly Used B-values Yield Accurate Apparent Kurtosis Values?

Introduction The diffusion restrictions present in biological tissue result in deviations from the Gaussian propagator shape, which can be quantified using the apparent kurtosis Kapp [1]. Kapp is defined by eq. 1, where <φ > is the expectation value of the n-th power of the spin phase, and it appears in the expansion of the logarithmic signal in powers of b (eq. 2). [ ] 2); ( ... 6 ) 0 ( ) ( ln...

Normative Values of Physical Examinations Commonly Used for Cerebral Palsy

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish normative values and to identify age-related change in physical examinations that are commonly used while evaluating patients with cerebral palsy (CP). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred four healthy volunteers (mean age 36 years, standard deviation 15 years) were enrolled and divided into four age groups: 13-20, 21-35, 36-50, and 51 years and old...

Deposition of carbon nanotubes in commonly used sample filter media

There is no single standard technique or methodology to characterize the size, structure, number, and chemical composition of airborne carbon nanotubes.  Existing analytical instruments and analytical techniques for evaluating nanoparticle concentrations cannot simultaneously provide morphology, state of agglomeration, surface area, mass, size distribution and chemical composition data critical...
