Introduction Highly efficient water suppression schemes such as WET or VAPOR [1] are widely considered a prerequisite for state-of-the art in-vivo H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). However, there are multiple motivations for H MRS without water suppression: (1) the water signal needed for absolute quantification based on the internal water reference method as well as eddy current and pha...

Introduction: Defining the markers that can be used in clinical practice for predicting mortality of critical patients will cautionary taking necessary measures high-risk cases. Although there are a large number studies conducted during pandemic, no marker to predict prognosis intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19 has yet been defined. Platelet indices easily evaluated complete blood count (C...

Abstract Radiative cooling (RC) is natural phenomenon in which an object passively cools itself by highly radiating mid-infrared waves to the cold outer space. The delignified wood (DW), lignin molecules are removed from wood, shows promising performance of daytime radiative (DRC). However, DW usually hot-pressed during oven drying process results collapse cell walls. This problem hinders appli...

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to know role and utility platelet indices (MPV PDW) in differentiating etiology thrombocytopenia. Methods: This was a prospective retrospective 400 cases thrombocytopenia 100 controls conducted over period 17 months from September 2020 February 2022 at tertiary care hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. All patients meeting inclusion criteria included...

Platelet parameters such as Mean platelet volume (MPV) and Platelet distribution width (PDW) are indicators of platelet activation. In cases with Rheumatoid arthritis inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and Erythrocyte sedimentation Rate are affected .Studies have pointed out the occurrence of changes in platelet counts in acute stages of Rheumatoid arthritis, the cause being platel...

Consciousness can be measured in various ways, but different measures often yield different conclusions about the extent to which awareness relates to performance. Here, we compare five different subjective measures of awareness in the context of an artificial grammar learning task. Participants (N=217) expressed their subjective awareness of rules using one of five different scales: confidence...

PURPOSE To determine whether administration of gadolinium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) and whether placement of the outer volume saturation bands significantly affect shimming and water suppression on hepatic MR spectroscopic prescanning. METHOD Region of interest (ROI) of 2 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm was carefully positioned in the region of the middle portion of the right hepatic lob...

In this study, we examine the superconducting instability of a quasi-one-dimensional lattice in Hubbard model based on random-phase approximation (RPA) and fluctuation exchange (FLEX) approximation. We find that spin-singlet pair density wave (PDW-singlet) with center-of-mass momentum $2k_F$ can be stabilized when one-dimensionality becomes prominent toward perfect nesting Fermi surface. The ob...

Ensuring food security with limited water resources in arid countries requires urgent development of innovative water-saving strategies. This study aimed to investigate the effects various tillage and mulching practices on soil storage (SWS), growth, production, irrigation use efficiency (IWUE), productivity (WP) wheat under full (FL) (LM) regimes a typical country. The comprised conventional (...

In a paradigm (the Iowa Gambling Task, IGT), that has been claimed to simulate real-life decision-making, participants choose between decks of cards with different monetary payoffs. The original version of the task consists of four decks of cards and 100 card selections. In terms of their expected value, two of the decks are “good” (i.e. have longrun positive payoffs) and the remaining two are ...
