Background/introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a wide spectrum of imaging contrasts, which have utility for preparation and evaluation of HIFU treatments, as well as for guiding HIFU energy delivery (MRgHIFU). Currently, research into the prospective value of these imaging markers and their ability to predict and probe treatment success is challenged by the lack of an analysi...

various geological units in an area often exhibit different magnetic properties. due to this distinction in magnetic properties of the geological units, a correlation between the type of a geological unit and its magnetic response can be established. to determine the lateral and vertical extents of geological units from the magnetic data in a survey area, a number of filters for processing magn...

It has long been thought that birds may use the Earth's magnetic field not only as a compass for direction finding, but that it could also provide spatial information for position determination analogous to a map during navigation. Since magnetic field intensity varies systematically with latitude and theoretically could also provide longitudinal information during position determination, birds...

Quite recently A. H. Compton' and Bennett, Stearns and Compton' have secured data showing that the intensity of the softer components of the penetrating radiation increase with magnetic latitude and with the altitude of the sun above the horizon. They suggest that the variation with latitude results from the ionic nature of the ionizing ray. Indeed, this is just what one would conclude from the...

objective(s):high-intensity interval training (hiit) increases energy expenditure and mechanical energy efficiency. although both uncoupling proteins (ucps) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) affect the mechanical efficiency and antioxidant capacity, their effects are inverse. the aim of this study was to determine whether the alterations of cardiac ucp2, ucp3, and enos mrna expressio...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...
