PURPOSE To investigate the behavior of whole-head and local specific absorption rate (SAR) as a function of trajectory acceleration factor and target excitation pattern due to the parallel transmission (pTX) of spatially tailored excitations at 7T. MATERIALS AND METHODS Finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulations in a multitissue head model were used to obtain B(1) (+) and electric field...

the purpose of the present research was to study the properties of natural habitats and growth status of the genus tamarix in miankangi, sistan province, south-eastern iran. selective sampling was used to examine the natural stands structure. then, the one ha-rectangular sample plots were stablished in the stands and surrounding bare lands as control plots. quantitative variables of stands viz....

abstract different definitions have been proposed for soil quality. various soil properties have been suggetsted as soil quality indices by researchers. this research was conducted to study the relationship between slope of retention curve at its inflection point (s index) and other soil physical quality indices, because the reserches between s index and soil physical properties are little. thi...

An efficient and straightforward antenna design method is presented that maximizes the ratio of total efficiency specific absorption rate (SAR). This goal achieved with a multiport cluster technique where several ports are excited collectively appropriate feeding weights. These weights found as an eigenvalue solution formulated in terms radiated near-field power antenna. The relies on both (SAR...

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) secreted from jejunal mucosal K cells augments insulin secretion and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. In recent studies, we have shown GIP directly activates Na-glucose cotransporter-1 (SGLT1) and enhances glucose absorption in mouse jejunum. It is not known whether GIP would also regulate other...

Using an adaptive Mamdani fuzzy inference system model (MFSIM), the purpose of this paper is mainly to assess and rank assessment ranking water quality for irrigation occurring in Hammamet-Nabeul (Tunisia) shallow aquifer. This aquifer under Mediterranean climate conditions affected by intensive irrational agricultural activities. In current study, logic-based decision-making approach was adapt...

Considering the impacts of agricultural runoff, domestic and industrial effluents on quality many dams rivers as cited in literature, a physico-chemical study regarding water assessment Ghunghuta dam has been carried out to indicate irrigation suitability water. In present study, parameters like pH, EC, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Na, K, carbonate bicarbonate were estimated evaluate sodium percentage (% N...

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the groundwaters and the impact of geological units on these waters in Hastijan area. For this purpose, 11 samples of water resources have been collected with their appropriate dispersal. Physico-chemical parameters of Mn, Ni, Cd, Cu, Zn, As Fe, Cr, and ions K+, Na+,Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, So42-, Hco3- as well as indicators TH, TDS, EC, PH were deter...
