Simultaneous multi -s l ice (SMS) MRI al lows for the acquisi tion of several s l ices at the same time. We propose a novel reconstruction technique for radial SMS MRI based on Regularized Nonl inear Inversion (NLINV). This method does not require a priori knowledge of the coi l sensitivi ties. We present the simultaneous estimation of images and coi l sensitivi ties of two sl ices of a phantom...

Nuclear Physics Instrumentation AGATA detector; presently the NARVAL prototype at LNL is capable of reading data from the AGATA front end electronics, execute the pulse shape analysis, the event building, the gamma tracking and eventually save the results to the AGATA storage system. In the next months there will be the need to test the system coupled with an ancillary detector like PRISMA or D...

Simultaneous multi -s l ice (SMS) MRI has become a popular technique in both research and cl inical practice, as i t provides information about multiple sl ices at the time of a conventional s ingle-sl ice measurement. For technical reasons, SMS is commonly l imited to the acquisi tion of paral lel s l ices. Here, we propose a new Cartesian sequence for the simultaneous excitation of orthogonal...

Cl inical appl ication of volumetric joint MR imaging has been hampered by blurring due to T2 decay. A redesigned volumetric fast spin-echo acquisi tion technique termed T2 shuffl ing corrects for T2 decay and yields effectively a four-dimensional reconstruction with varying degrees of T2 weighting. Our work assesses the cl inical appl ication of T2 shuffl ing for pediatric knee MRI. Our result...

The two video satellites of the second and third batch Zhuhai-1 microsatellites (referred to as OVS-2A/3A) are operational with their hyperspectral satellites, which improves data acquisi-tion capability remote sensing satellite constellation. Contrary linear array push-broom plane CCD OVS is equipped a planar Bayer pattern sensor, can obtain single-band grayscale images by imaging. Additionall...

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

This paper presents the physiological activity of the cerebral cortex in sheep in electroencephalo- graphic findings. The study was performed to evaluate and improve understanding of brain monitor- ing methods in freely moving animals without the use of any anaesthetic methods during the acquisi- tion stage. The aim of the study was to determine the physiological activity of the cerebral cortex...

The CMS detector is mainly designed to investigate hard events. Only few Level-1 Trigger conditions are suitable to select soft B-meson decays. The B-physics potential of CMS depends strongly on a selection strategy at High-Level Trigger. The selection algorithms for some benchmark B-decay channels that allow CMS to perform competitive B-physics program are presented. 1 Introduction The CMS det...

The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of assessing quality of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) from multiple sites and vendors using American College of Radiology (ACR) phantom. Participating sites (Siemens (n = 2), GE (n= 2), and Philips (n = 4)) reached consensus on parameters for DTI and used the widely available ACR phantom. Tensor data were processed at one site. B0 and ed...
