1 MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING FOR THE ROTATOR CUFF TEAR Y. Morisawa, T. Sadahiro, Dept, of Orth, Surg, Kochi Prefectural Hata-Kenmin Hospital, Flec Clinic, Kochi, Japan MRI observation of the rotator cuff tear showing the high signal intensity on the supraspinatus muscle belly (SMB) was examined before and after surgery. The subjects were eleven patients with the massive and global rotator cuff ...

Characterization of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) systems using ex vivo tissues is an important part of the preclinical testing for new HIFU devices. In ex vivo characterization, the lesion volume produced by the absorption of HIFU energy is quantified as operational parameters are varied. This paper examines the three methods used for lesion-volume quantification: histology, magneti...

Atomic magnetometers have found widespread applications in precise measurement of the Earth’s magnetic field due to their high sensitivity. In these measurements, various methods have been utilized to compensate the Earth’s magnetic field in an unshielded environment. In this paper, we have proposed a method based on finding the minimum resonance frequency (corresponding to minimum magnetic fie...

In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...

A partial decrease of the convective energy by the magnetic field of a sunspot causes the temperature of the magnetized plasma to decrease and this leads to a magneto-hydrostatic equilibrium. Thus, we expect a strong relation between magnetic field strength of a sunspot and its temperature/brightness. Here, we investigate this relation in the umbra of the large sunspot in NOAA10930 using spectr...

Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles, owing to their very small size and superparamagnetic properties, have been considered a potential candidate for several medical applications such as magnetic cell separation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic targeted drug delivery magnetichyperthermia. The present study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the characteristics of super...

in this paper, the hartree-fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. the bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. for this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
