Three-tank (3T) system is the most representative didactical equipment used as a bench mark system for system modeling, identification and control. A real target representing 3T system has been used for generating data that is used for developing a linear model based on autoregressive exogenous (ARX) method, and neuro-fuzzy (NF) network technique. The developed models have been used as an inter...

Introduction: Until now MRI could not perform traditional endoscopy from the viewpoint of an internal probe because localization depended entirely on the fixed external gradient system and was hence intrinsically locked to the laboratory frame-of-reference (FoR). A method for high-resolution MRI using active internal probes that utilizes the spatial properties of the probe itself, for MRI has b...

Terthiophene (3T) molecules adsorbed on herringbone (HB) reconstructed Au(111) surfaces in the low coverage regime were investigated by means of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The 3T molecules adsorb preferentially in fcc regions of the HB reconstruction with their longer axis oriented perpendicular to the soliton w...

Introduction Increased spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and additional metabolite information not available at B0 = 1.5T are some of the benefits of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at higher fields (≥3T) that enhance its attractiveness as an investigational tool for clinical use. However, to obtain high-quality MR spectra, reliable localized shimming is an essential pre...

In the last few years, mental imagery fMRI paradigms have been used successfully to identify covert command-following and awareness in some patients who are thought to be entirely vegetative. However, to date there is only evidence supporting their use at magnetic fields of 3T, which limits their applicability in clinical settings where lower field strengths are typically used. Here, we test th...

November 02, 2005 | Musculoskeletal Imaging [1], RSNA 2005 [2], MRI [3], Practice Management [4], Vendors [5] Exquisite images of the brain, spine, body, and joints will adorn vendors' booths at the RSNA meeting, attesting to the benefits of clinical 3T. But, unlike the many ultrahigh-field MR scans that vendors have displayed in the past, most of these 3T images will come from systems designed...
