Probing meson spectral functions with double differential dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions [PDF]
The double differential dilepton spectrum $dN/ (dM_\perp^2 dM^2)$ at fixed transverse mass $M_\perp$ allows a direct access to the vector meson spectral functions.

Use of contrast‐enhanced computed tomography to detect kidney infarction in dogs
Background Kidney infarction is a renovascular disease diagnosed by contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in humans. Objectives To describe the frequency of kidney infarction and to determine the detection of kidney infarction with CECT in dogs ...

Use of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography for the Characterization of Tumor Thrombi in Seven Dogs
Tumors of adrenal and thyroid glands have been associated with vascular invasions—so-called tumor thrombi, both in humans and dogs. The detection and characterization of venous thrombi is an important diagnostic step in patients with primary tumors for ...

Contrast medium-induced nephropathy: The pathophysiology [PDF]
A widespread, rather general, definition of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an impairment in renal function occurring within 3 days following the intravascular administration of contrast media (CM) and the absence of an alternative aetiology. In spite of the vast clinical importance of CIN, its understanding and the pathophysiology behind CIN ...

Studies of di-jet survival and surface emission bias in Au+Au collisions via angular correlations with respect to back-to-back leading hadrons [PDF]
We report first results from an analysis based on a new multi-hadron correlation technique, exploring jet-medium interactions and di-jet surface emission bias at RHIC.

Space-Time Medium Functions as a Perfect Antenna-Mixer-Amplifier Transceiver
We show that a space-time-varying medium can function as a front-end transceiver, i.e., an antenna-mixer-amplifier. Such a unique functionality is endowed by space-time surface waves associated with complex space-time wave vectors in a subluminal space ...
