INTRODUCTION Transmit array spatial encoding (TRASE) is a novel MRI technique that utilizes B1-field phase gradients as the means for traversing k-space [1-3]. This method allows MRI to be performed without the usual application of B0-field amplitude gradients, thereby possibly eliminating the equipment, complexity, power consumption and acoustic noise associated with traditional static-field g...

in this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. the results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. it also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

the early cytokines production in response to live logarithmic and stationary phase promastigotes of leishmania major was examined on the peripheral blood cells of the healthy individuals. whole blood cultures were stimulated by either logarithmic or stationary phase promastigotes. ifn- and il-10 productions were assessed by specific sandwich elisa. the results showed that the logarithmic prom...

nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was prepared by new wet chemical route from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride (ticl4) as precursor with isopropoxy alcohol in presence of nitric acid under ambient condition. their morphologies, phase compositions and components of the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron micr...

We investigate the self-assembly of symmetric disk-coil molecules using Monte Carlo simulations in the NPT ensemble. Our molecules are composed of a planar disk (head) that is covalently bonded to a single coil (tail), and can be regarded as disk-coil copolymers. For this system, we observe a variety of phases depending on the temperature and the effective interactions between the disk and coil...

We analyze a model statistical description of the polypeptide chain helix-coil transition, where we take into account the specificity of its primary sequence, as quantified by the phase space volume ratio of the number of all accessible states to the number corresponding to a helical conformation. The resulting transition phase diagram is then juxtaposed with the unusual behavior of the seconda...

Introduction: Phase-sensitive (PS) SSFP [1,2] is an efficient fat/water separation method, successfully used in several applications including angiography [1], musculoskeletal [3] and abdominal [4] imaging. It generates and detects a 180 phase-difference between fat and water. In previous work, water images reconstructed from individual coils with PSSSFP were combined [4,5]. However, abrupt spa...
