Social interactions in the Burkholderia cepacia complex : biofilms and quorum sensing [PDF]
Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria are opportunistic pathogens that cause respiratory tract infections in susceptible patients, mainly people with cystic fibrosis. There is convincing evidence that B.

Studying the extracellular contribution to the double wave vector diffusion-weighted signal
The use of two independent diffusion periods between excitation and acquisition, known as double wave vector (DWV) diffusion-weighting or double diffusion encoding, was proven to yield structural information that it is otherwise not easily available in ...

Experimental validation of a bias in apparent exchange rate measurement
Double diffusion encoding (DDE) MRI is a technique in which two diffusion weighted periods are applied between excitation and acquisition. This allows to acquire structural information (as pore size and shape) and molecular exchange between compartments,

Full field phase imaging using a harmonically matched diffraction grating pair based homodyne quadrature interferometer [PDF]
In this letter, the authors present a novel quadrature interferometry method based on the use of a harmonically matched shallow grating pair. Unlike a simple beam splitter or single shallow grating, the grating pair can confer a nontrivial interference ...

Diffusion tensor subspace imaging of double diffusion-encoded MRI delineates small fibers and gray-matter microstructure not visible with single encoding techniques. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Double diffusion encoding (DDE) acquisition strategies promise specificity for small‐dimensional structures inaccessible to single diffusion encoding (SDE). For DDE‐weighted MRI scans to become relevant for whole brain imaging, signal reconstruction frameworks must accurately ...

Quasi-equilibrium states in thermotropic liquid crystals studied by multiple quantum NMR [PDF]
We study the nature of the quasiinvariants in nematic 5CB and measure their relaxation times by encoding the multiple quantum coherences of the states following the JB pulse pair on two orthogonal bases, Z and X.
