Design of CTAB‐Coated NixFe3−xO4 Magnetic Nanoparticles as Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) Tracers
The present work is conducted to study synthesized NixFe3−xO4 MNPs (with x = from 0 to 1.0) coated with CTAB with hydrothermal and coprecipitation methods for the medical imaging systems as a tracer agent. In vitro, the biocompatibility of samples has been approved using an MTT assay.

Metal-substituted protein MRI contrast agents engineered for enhanced relaxivity and ligand sensitivity [PDF]
Engineered metalloproteins constitute a flexible new class of analyte-sensitive molecular imaging agents detectable by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but their contrast effects are generally weaker than synthetic agents.

Dual modal imaging agents based on chromophore-bearing DTPA analogues [PDF]
Two new DTPA analogues, centrally (L1) and terminally (L2) functionalised with a 1,8-naphthalimide chromophore, have been successfully prepared and fully characterized.

Construction of a Plate Relaxometer for Measurement of Viscoelasticity of Polymer Melt
高分子溶融物の低弾性率にわたる応力緩和を測定する目的で,平板式応力緩和計(Plate Relaxometer)を試作した。測定原理は箱形のセル中の試料の中心にプレートをさしこみ, セルに瞬間的に一定の変位を与えて, プレートに発生するずり応力の時間的変化を測定するものである。装置の形状効果の消去できる条件を検討し, 緩和弾性率より他の粘弾性関数を評価し, 独立な方法により求めた実測値との比較を行なった。本装置によれば107dyne/cm2付近から102dyne/cm2付近にわたる緩和弾性率の測定が可能である。

Exploring Bioinspired Ln3+ Complexes for Cu2+ Detection: Design and Efficacy as MRI Contrast Agents
Gd3+ complexes bearing a bioinspired Cu2+‐binding site derived from ATCUN are studied as MRI contrast agents. The presence of two amino acids (GH) is necessary to bind Cu2+ and trigger a relaxivity increase. This is due to a higher number of H2O retained close to Gd3+ through H‐bonding with Cu2+. Remarkably, the system remains selective for Cu2+ vs Zn2+

Uniform Penalty inversion of two-dimensional NMR Relaxation data
The inversion of two-dimensional NMR data is an ill-posed problem related to the numerical computation of the inverse Laplace transform. In this paper we present the 2DUPEN algorithm that extends the Uniform Penalty (UPEN) algorithm [Borgia, Brown ...

Nature of water-biochar interface interactions [PDF]
A poplar biochar obtained by an industrial gasification process was saturated with water and analyzed using fast field cycling (FFC) NMR relaxometry in a temperature range between 299 and 353 K.

An original paramagnetic probe was developed, whose Magnetic Resonance Imaging efficacy is modified upon Zn2+ complexation. A combination of NMR, DFT and luminescence studies shows that these changes are due to a modification of the Gd3+ coordination sphere. The complex exhibits high selectivity for Zn2+ over other physiological cations.

Wood‐Biochar Influence on Rill Erosion Processes and Hydrological Connectivity in Amended Soils
Plot measurements were performed on two rills, named rill3 and rill5, incised in a soil amended with an initial biochar concentration BC by weight of 3% and 5%, respectively. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry with the fast field cycling (FFC) layout was used to measure the structural and functional connectivity of the soil, biochar, and ...

Paramagnetic salt and agarose recipes for phantoms with desired T1 and T2 values for low‐field MRI
Recipes that use agarose mixed with one of four paramagnetic salts are developed (NiCl2 shown here), which can be used to create synthetic samples for field strengths below 0.55 T. The recipes' utility is demonstrated by targeting relaxation properties of five neurological tissues for fields ranging between 0.0065 and 0.55 T.
