A Metabolite Specific 3D Stack-of-Spiral bSSFP Sequence for Improved Lactate Imaging in Hyperpolarized [1-$^{13}$C]Pyruvate Studies on a 3T Clinical Scanner [PDF]
Purpose: The balanced steady-state free precession sequence has been previously explored to improve the efficient use of non-recoverable hyperpolarized $^{13}$C magnetization, but suffers from poor spectral selectivity and long acquisition time. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel metabolite-specific 3D bSSFP ("MS-3DSSFP") sequence with ...

Comment on "A compilation and bioenergetic evaluation of syntrophic microbial growth yields in anaerobic digestion" by Patón, M. and Rodríguez, J. [Water Research 162 (2019), 516-517] [PDF]
Recent efforts have focused on providing a systematic analysis of syntrophic microbial growth yields. These biokinetic parameters are key to developing an accurate mathematical description of the anaerobic digestion process. The agreement between experimentally determined growth yields and those obtained from bioenergetic estimations is therefore of ...

On the Handwriting Tasks' Analysis to Detect Fatigue [PDF]
Practical determination of physical recovery after intense exercise is a challenging topic that must include mechanical aspects as well as cognitive ones because most of physical sport activities, as well as professional activities (including brain computer interface-operated systems), require good shape in both of them.

Estimation of lactate threshold with machine learning techniques in recreational runners [PDF]
Lactate threshold is considered an essential parameter when assessing performance of elite and recreational runners and prescribing training intensities in endurance sports. However, the measurement of blood lactate concentration requires expensive equipment and the extraction of blood samples, which are inconvenient for frequent monitoring ...

Aluminum lactate role in improving hydration and drying behavior of MgO-bonded refractory castables [PDF]
Developing MgO-bonded castables is still an important subject for refractory producers and end-users based on the expansive character of the in-situ Mg(OH)2 formation. Considering that magnesia undergoes hydration when exposed to water and the generated hydrated phase needs to be properly accommodated in the resulting microstructure to inhibit the ...
