Verse - Space

However, the nonselective refocusing pulses limit the application of slab selective acquisition. To overcome this limitation, a dual echo-spacing technique [1] has been presented before, using a combination of selective excitati...

Generating Czech Iambic Verse

In the paper, we describe an algorithm for generating Czech iambic verse and its implementation on a computer. It is a continuation of the work first done in 1972 [6], in which a program generating Czech iambic verse had been developed, written in the programming language Algol-Genius and run on the mainframe SAAB D21 with interesting results. Here, we present a new experiment which is a follow...
