A new method of acquiring two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fat/water decomposed images on a 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system is described. The method uses a gradient-recalled echo (GRE) sequence incorporating a composite 121 pulse, originally used for magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) experiments, for frequency-selective pre-saturation. By applying the 121 pulse o...

The conventional phase difference method for MR thermometry suffers from disturbances caused by the presence of lipid protons, motion-induced error, and field drift. A signal model is presented with multi-echo gradient echo (GRE) sequence using a fat signal as an internal reference to overcome these problems. The internal reference signal model is fit to the water and fat signals by the extende...

As was suggested twenty years ago, double-vortex condensation can drive a superconductor into fractionalized insulator with \ensuremath{\mathbb{Z}}${}_{2}$ topological order. With the advent of symmetry-protected phases, authors explore here effect strong correlation in weak superconductor, showing that gives rise to translation symmetry-enriched This $t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}...

A data-driven wall model for turbulent flows over periodic hills is developed using a feedforward neural network and wall-resolved large-eddy simulation data.

Introduction: Steady state MRI-sequences are widely used for clinical applications. In particular, balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) has become increasingly important for diagnostic and interventional imaging [1]. However, contrast modification by using magnetization preparation sequences, (like fat suppression or regional signal suppression), requires the use of transient steady s...
