Optimum b value for resolving crossing fibers: a study with standard clinical b value using 1.5-T MR [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroradiology, 2010
We sought to investigate the optimum b value for resolving crossing fiber using high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI)-based multi-tensor tractography. The study tested the standard b values that are commonly used in the routine clinical setting.Ten normal volunteers (five men and five women) with a mean age of 26.3 years (range, 22-32 years)

Optimization of b‐value schemes for estimation of the diffusion coefficient and the perfusion fraction with segmented intravoxel incoherent motion model fitting

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2019
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) modeling for estimation of the diffusion coefficient (D) and perfusion fraction (f) is increasingly popular, but no consensus on standard protocols exists.

Temporal b-Value Variations through out a Seismic Faulting Process: The 2008 Taoyuan Earthquake in Taiwan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
Temporal b-value variations have been completely obtained for the seismic faulting process of the 4 March 2008 Taoyuan earthquake (ML = 5.2), southern Taiwan.

Why the Mw 6 parkfield earthquake expected in the 1985–1993 interval was postponed till 2004?

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2022
The earthquake prediction released by USGS in 1985 to the public stated that there was an Mw6.0 earthquake occurring in the Parkfield area by January 1993 with a 95% chance. This prediction has proved unsuccessful.

Axial Seamount: Periodic tidal loading reveals stress dependence of the earthquake size distribution (b value) [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018
Earthquake size–frequency distributions commonly follow a power law, with the b value often used to quantify the relative proportion of small and large events. Laboratory experiments have found that the b value of microfractures decreases with increasing

Temporal Variation and Statistical Assessment of the b Value off the Pacific Coast of Tokachi, Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The Gutenberg-Richter Law describes the frequency-magnitude distribution of earthquakes. A number of studies have shown that the slope (b value) of the relationship between frequency and magnitude decreased before large earthquakes.

INVESTIGATION OF b-VALUE VARIATIONS IN THE AFRICAN AND PARTS OF EURASIAN PLATES [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Tsunami Hazards, 2017
Numerous earthquakes have occurred along the collision zones of the African and parts of Eurasian plates. Some of these earthquakes along these zones have generated tsunamis.

Application of generalized logistic equation for b-value analysis in fracture of plain concrete beams under flexure

open access: yesEngineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019
This work investigates the effect of finite size and evolution of fracture process zone on b-value of acoustic emission in concrete beams. It is shown that the AE b-value determined using the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law varies with beam size and ...

Utility of Computed Tomography Surveillance of Asymptomatic Infection in Children and Young Adults Before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asymptomatic infection poses a significant risk for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Pre‐transplant surveillance computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to identify occult infection, though its diagnostic yield remains uncertain.

Renal Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Healthy Dogs: Reproducibility, Test-Retest Repeatability, and Selection of the Optimal b-value Combination

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging can evaluate alterations in the microstructure of the kidney. The purpose of this study was to assess the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the intravoxel incoherent motion model (IVIM ...
