Crossing fibers, diffractions and nonhomogeneous magnetic field: correction of artifacts by bipolar gradient pulses

In recent years, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and its variants have been used to describe fiber orientations and q-space diffusion MR was proposed as a means to obtain structural information on a micron scale. Therefore, there is an increasing need for complex phantoms with predictable microcharacteristics to challenge different indices extracted from the different diffusion MR techniques used. The present study examines the effect of diffusion pulse sequence on the signal decay and diffraction patterns observed in q-space diffusion MR performed on micron-scale phantoms of different geometries and homogeneities. We evaluated the effect of the pulse gradient stimulated-echo, the longitudinal eddy current delay (LED) and the bipolar LED (BPLED) pulse sequences. Interestingly, in the less homogeneous samples, the expected diffraction patterns were observed only when diffusion was measured with the BPLED sequence. We demonstrated the correction ability of bipolar diffusion gradients and showed that more accurate physical parameters are obtained when such a diffusion gradient scheme is used. These results suggest that bipolar gradient pulses may result in more accurate data if incorporated into conventional diffusion-weighted imaging and DTI.     

Numerical Experiences with New Truncated Newton Methods in Large Scale Unconstrained Optimization

Recently, in [12] a very general class oftruncated Newton methods has been proposed for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems. In this work we present the results of an extensive numericalexperience obtained by different algorithms which belong to the preceding class. This numerical study, besides investigating which arethe best algorithmic choices of the proposed approach, clarifies some significant points which underlies every truncated Newton based algorithm.

The future of reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

We examine the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process with regard to its potential and limits in future industrial applications (including those conducted on a larger scale) as well as materials science. The outlook for the RAFT process is bright: Its unrivaled inherent process simplicity coupled with a wide tolerance to monomer classes and functionalities makes it a prime candidate for the use in large reactors. At the same time, it allows for ready access to complex macromolecular architectures of variable shape and size. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polarization-Dependent Phase-Conjugate Reflectivity in Randomly Oriented Saturable Absorbers: Effects of Direction of Transition Dipole Moment Associated with Excited-State Absorption

The effects of the direction of transition dipole moment on polarization-dependent phase-conjugate (PC) reflectivity by degenerate four-wave mixing in a saturable-dye-doped film are theoretically investigated. On the basis of a four-energy-level model for the saturable dyes, the pump-intensity dependence of the PC reflectivity is calculated for the two cases of a probe wave being polarized either parallel or perpendicular to pump waves, when the transition dipole moment associated with excited-state absorption tilts from that associated with ground-state one. For the parallel polarization, in the case of two transition dipole moments having different directions, a dip appears in the PC reflectivity curve near a resonant frequency on account of the characteristics of nonlinear absorption, whereas it disappears when the frequency of light is off resonance due to the influence of nonlinear refractive index.
