Atiyah – Jones conjecture for blown - up surfaces

We show that if the Atiyah–Jones conjecture holds for a surface X, then it also holds for the blow-up of X at a point. Since the conjecture is known to hold for P2 and for ruled surfaces, it follows that the conjecture is true for all rational surfaces. Given a 4-manifold X, let MIk(X) denote the moduli space of rank 2 instantons on X with charge k and let Ck(X) denote the space of all connecti...

Speeding-up MR acquisitions using ultrasound signals, and scanner-less real-time MR imaging

Target Audience: Researchers and clinicians interested in real-time MRI and image-guided therapies. Purpose: MRI and ultrasound (US) imaging have complementary properties and advantages, with great soft tissue contrast for the former and high acquisition rates for the latter. For this reason several noteworthy efforts have been made to combine the two imaging modalities. A characteristic of the...

Follow-Up MR Imaging for Cerebral Sparganosis.

The recent article on follow-up MR imaging for cerebral sparganosis is interesting. Li et al noted, “Migration is a notable feature of cerebral sparganosis.” This finding is quite interesting. Due to its basic nature, sparganosis is usually a chronic localized disease. According to a large series from Thailand, no observation of cerebral migration was noted. The “tunnel” sign is a new finding t...

Two complementary tools for the cooperation in a ministerial environment

This paper describes the realisation of and experiences with two complementary tools for the support of cooperative processes: electronic circulation folders and shared workspaces. Circulation folders support structured work processes, shared workspaces provide a working environment for less structured processes. Both approaches are complementary and their combined usage provides new and very f...
