Influence of Field Strength, Sex, and Age on Pseudo‐Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling and T1 Mapping in the Kidney

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1180-1195, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) and T 1 mapping have been used for renal imaging at 1.5 T and 3 T. However, direct comparisons between field strengths, age, and sex are lacking. Purpose To assess the effects of field strength, age, and sex on renal perfusion and T 1 values and measure reproducibility.

The Financial Services Authority:A Model of Improved Accountability? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Prior to the adoption of the FSA (Financial Services Authority) model, supervision of UK banks was carried out by the Bank of England. Although the Bank of England's informal involvement in bank supervision dates back to the mid nineteenth century, it ...

Triply-Periodic Smectics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Twist-grain-boundary phases in smectics are the geometrical analogs of the Abrikosov flux lattice in superconductors. At large twist angles, the nonlinear elasticity is important in evaluating their energetics.

A sub-regional management framework for South Pacific longline fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The principal objective of this study was to determine if additional net benefits can be derived from the sub-regional longline fishery by the introduction of a new management agreement that would centre on the provision of licensing arrangements that ...

The trajectory of regulatory reform in the UK in the wake of the financial crisis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
There has been much talk about regulatory reform around the world in the wake of the financial crisis but relatively little action. As a major international financial centre, the UK is very much at the heart of the debate and has a particular interest in

Neuromelanin Contrast Optimization and Improved Visualization of the Substantia Nigra in a 3D Gradient‐Echo Sequence With Magnetization Transfer

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2025.
The enhancement of the neuromelanin contrast based on low flip angles in a 3D gradient echo sequence with magnetization transfer improved the visualization of the neuromelanin‐rich region of the substantia nigra, as demonstrated by volumetric and contrast ratio analyses. Furthermore, in this study, the magnetization transfer pulse effects on the T1 and

Frequency Response of Acoustic-Assisted Ni–Mn–Ga Ferromagnetic- Shape-Memory-Alloy Actuator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A prototype of Ni–Mn–Ga based ferromagnetic-shape-memory-alloy (FSMA) actuator was designed and built; an acoustic-assist technique was applied to the actuator to enhance its performance. A piezoelectric stack actuator was attached to the Ni–Mn–Ga sample

Magnetic field induced strain assisted by stress in Ni-Fe-GaCo single crystals

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) have the possibility to induced a strain by applying a magnetic field. The main advantage of the FSMA is that the strain cycling frequency is two orders of magnitude higher than coventional shape memory alloys ...

Local atomic arrangement and martensitic transformation in Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{35}$In$_{15}$: An EXAFS Study

open access: yes, 2007
Heusler alloys that undergo martensitic transformation in ferromagnetic state are of increasing scientific and technological interest. These alloys show large magnetic field induced strains upon martensitic phase change thus making it a potential ...
