Magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) is a conductivity imaging method based on injecting currents into the object. In this study, a new MR-EIT method, whereby currents are induced inside the object by using external coils, is proposed. This new method is called induced current magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography. In induced current MR-EIT surface electrodes...

Functional MRI has become an important tool of researchers and clinicians who seek to understand patterns of neuronal activation that accompany sensory and cognitive processes. However, the interpretation of fMRI images rests on assumptions about the relationship between neuronal firing and hemodynamic response that are not firmly grounded in rigorous theory or experimental evidence. Further, t...

We discuss the analysis of data from πN elastic scattering and single pion photoand electroproduction. The main focus is a study of low-lying non-strange baryon resonances. Here we concentrate on some difficulties associated with resonance identification, in particular the Roper and higher P11 states.

It is demonstrated that metallic horseshoe-shaped (also referred to as u-shaped) nanostructures can exhibit a magnetic resonance in the optical spectral range. This magnetic plasmon resonance is distinct from the purely geometric LC resonance occurring in perfectly conducting split rings because the plasmonic nature of the metal plays the dominant role. Similarly to the electrical surface plasm...

It is pointed out that in the decays X(3872) → D ¯ Dγ the possible 'molecular' component of the X(3872) should give rise essentially only to a D 0 ¯ D 0 γ final state with a predictable spectrum, and should yield virtually no contribution to decays into D + D − γ. The latter final state with charged D mesons should however arise from the radiative decays of the short-distance core of the X(3872...

We propose a way of measuring the photon helicity in radiative B decays into excited kaons, which can test the Standard Model and probe new physics. In B → K 2(1430)γ and B → K1(1400)γ, where excited kaons are observed in Kππ channels, the photon helicity is shown to be measured by the up-down asymmetry of the photon direction relative to the K resonance decay plane in the resonance rest frame....

We report on a high-statistics measurement of the most basic double-pionic fusion reaction np → dππ over the energy region of the d∗(2380) resonance by use of a polarized deuteron beam and observing the double fusion reaction in the quasifree scattering mode. The measurements were performed with the WASA detector setup at COSY. The data reveal substantial analyzing powers and confirm conclusion...

A novel cavity perturbation technique using coaxial cavity ruonators for the measurement of complex permittivity of liquids is presented. The method employs two types of resonators (Resonator I and Resonator ll). Resonator l operates in the fre­ quency range 600 MHZ-7 CH2 and resonator ll operates in the frequency range 4 Gliz-14 CH2. The introduction of the capillary tube filled wit? the sampl...
