We present a clinically feasible imaging scheme that combines two DTI datasets to obtain a high angular resolution reconstruction of crossing fibers. The scheme was designed based on a paradigm that sampled q-space points with equally distributed q-space interval, similar to the approach of diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) [1] and hybrid diffusion imaging [2]. The obtained images were reconstru...

Background Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a non-invasive technique for exploring white matter fiber organization of the brain. As traditional diffusion tensor (DTI) methods may provide inaccurate descriptions local crossing and diverging fibers, we examined generalized q-sampling (GQI), novel method providing better directional quantitative information using dMRI data from commu...

Tested water samples taken from the ophiolite region of Forumad show that most of the concentrations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate, potassium, bicarbonate, and nitrate elements are in the standard range. Hydrogeochemical studies of the water samples show the existence of magnesium sulfate, chloromagnesium, and chlorosodium. Results of measuring the physical properties of the water show...
