GESFIDE-PROPELLER Approach for Simultaneous R2 and R2* Measurements in the Abdomen

Purpose

To investigate the feasibility of combining GESFIDE with PROPELLER sampling approaches for simultaneous abdominal R2 and R2* mapping.

Materials and Methods

R2 and R2* measurements were performed in 9 healthy volunteers and phantoms using the GESFIDE-PROPELLER and the conventional Cartesian-sampling GESFIDE approaches.

Results

Images acquired with the GESFIDE-PROPELLER sequence effectively mitigated the respiratory motion artifacts, which were clearly evident in the images acquired using the conventional GESFIDE approach. There was no significant difference between GESFIDE-PROPELLER and reference MGRE R2* measurements (p = 0.162) whereas the Cartesian-sampling based GESFIDE methods significantly overestimated R2* values compared to MGRE measurements (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The GESFIDE-PROPELLER sequence provided high quality images and accurate abdominal R2 and R2* maps while avoiding the motion artifacts common to the conventional Cartesian-sampling GESFIDE approaches.     

Chemical composition and magnetism of Ag doped LaMnO3

By using a sol-gel clue, a set of polycrystalline perovskite samples La$_{1 - x}$Ag$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ with a nominal doping level $x$ ranging from 0.05 to 0.45 has been synthesized. The chemical composition and the magnetism of the samples were investigated. A little Ag was found seeping from the samples in the sintering process when the doping level exceeded 0.05 and the sintering temperature was higher than 700\du\, resulting in the samples being in multiphase. The magnetic transition points of the samples have been found to decrease with increasing sintering temperature. A concentration-dependent $T_{\rm c}$ similar to that of bivalent metal ion doped perovskite, has been obtained. We believe that the Ag seeping in the sintering process is responsible for those magnetic characteristics.     

A global design of high power Nd-Yb co-doped fiber lasers

A global optimization method - niche hybrid genetic algorithm (NHGA) based on fitness sharing and elite replacement is applied to optimize Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺ co-doped fiber lasers (NYDFLs) for obtaining maximum signal output power. With a objective function and different pumping powers, five critical parameters (the fiber length, L; the proportion of pump power for pumping Nd³⁺, η; Nd³⁺ and Yb³⁺ concentrations, N_Nd and N_Yb and output mirror reflectivity, R_out) of the given NYDFLs are optimized by solving the rate and power propagation equations. Results show that dividing equally the input pump power among 808 nm (Nd³⁺) and 940 nm (Yb³⁺) is not an optimal choice and the pump power of Nd³⁺ ions should be kept around 10-13.78% of the total pump power. Three optimal schemes are obtained by NHGA and the highest slope efficiency of the laser is able to reach 80.1%.     

A Novel Highly Sensitive and Selective Fluorescent Sensor for Imaging Copper (II) in Living Cells

In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel quinolin-based derivative which exhibited signaling behaviors for Cu²⁺. Upon the addition of Cu²⁺ to the solution of the molecule, it displayed an obvious fluorescence quenching in a linear fashion due to the formation of a 1:1 metal–ligand complex. This fluorescent sensor exhibited a rare sensitivity toward Cu(II) (the level of magnitude could be 6?×?10^?8), a rapid response (<10 s) and also high selectivity toward Cu²⁺ over other metal ions such as Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ba²⁺, Fe³⁺, Mn²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr³⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Al³⁺. Simultaneously, the cell imaging experiments and filter paper test demonstrated its extensive applicability.

Theoretical Calculations of Thermal Shifts of Ground-StateZero-Field-Splitting for Ruby

By taking into account all the irreducible representations and their components in the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) as well as all the levels and the admixtures of wavefunctions within d³ electronic configuration, the thermal shifts (TS) of the ground-state zero-field-splitting (GSZFS) due to EPI for ruby have microscopic-theoretically been calculated; the contribution to TS of GSZFS from thermal expansion has also been calculated. The results are in very good agreement with experiments. It is found that the contributions from the first-order perturbation of the second-order term in EPI Hamiltonian are dominant in the Raman term and optical-branch term for TS of GSZFS; the different between the TS due to EPI of t₂^{3 4}A₂±(1/2) e₂ (G₂) level and the TS due to EPI of t₂^{3 4}A₂±(3/2) e₂ (G₁) level gives rise to the TS due to EPI of GSZFS, which is very small in comparison with the TS due to EPI of G₂ or G₁ level. Among various terms in TS of GSZFS, Raman term is the largest one and the signs of the Raman term and optical-branch term are opposite to the sign of the thermal-expansion term; the optical-branch term plays an important role in TS of GSZFS and increases rapidly with temperature; all various contributions to TS of GSZFS have to be taken into account, since the subtle balance among them determines the total result. The comparison between the features of TS of GSZFS and those of TS of R₁ and R₂ lines has been made. For TS of GSZFS, the contribution from thermal expansion is especially important; the neighbor-level term is insignificant.
