PURPOSE In-vitro evaluation of the feasibility of 4D real time tracking of endovascular devices and stenosis treatment with a magnetic particle imaging (MPI) / magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) road map approach and an MPI-guided approach using a blood pool tracer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A guide wire and angioplasty-catheter were labeled with a thin layer of magnetic lacquer. For real time MPI ...

Strairra were determined in a typical maridibiilar partial denture metal framework of the free-end saddle type. The overall strain patterirs were det,ermined using a brittle lacquer coating t,echriiqrie and loads were a.pplied vertically to positions on the saddles. The resulk from the coating study indicated the area of high strain were jrist anterior and posterior t,o t,he finishing lines. St...

This report presents our first experiments with the AXXOM case study proposed in AMETIST. The production plan has been entirely modeled as a network of timed automata and the scheduling problem has been therefore reduced to a minimal cost path extraction problem. The minimal cost path problem has been solved successfully for the 29 lacquers defined in the case study. Several heuristics have bee...

By using SMA resins as a polymeric surfactant in an emulsion polymerisation process, alone or in combination with other surfactants, the stability of the dispersion under different kinds of stress (chemical, high shear or freeze/thaw) is significantly improved. The presence of SMA copolymer, adsorbed at the surface of the particles of an acrylic dispersion, enhances the stability of the latex b...

At Amida-dō, I found ornamental objects which seem to have been gilded on ironware. Of course, it is impossible alloy iron and gold. Until now, had thought that the objects, must be load bearing, received only applications such as lacquer for rust-proofed. The discovery of this gilt object from ancient Amida-dō poses a major scientific technological problem, at same time necessary discuss its m...
