Glucose exchange parameters in a subset of physiological conditions.

The chemical exchange of labile protons of the hydroxyl groups can be exploited in a variety of magnetic resonance experiments to gain information about the groups and their physicochemical environment. The exchangeable -OH protons provide important contributions to the of water signals thus contributing to the -weighted contrast of MRI images. This exchange can be exploited more specifically and sensitively in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) or longitudinal rotating frame relaxation () experiments.

Relaxometry models compared with Bayesian techniques: ganglioside micelle example.

In this work a methodology to perform Bayesian model-comparison is developed and exemplified in the analysis of nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) experiments of water in a ganglioside micelle system. NMRD is a powerful tool to probe slow dynamics in complex liquids. There are many interesting systems that can be studied with NMRD, such as ionic and lyotropic liquids or electrolytes.

NMR relaxation and modelling study of the dynamics of SF and Xe in porous organic cages.

The porous solid formed from organic CC3 cage molecules has exceptional performance for rare gas separation. NMR spectroscopy provides a way to reveal the dynamical details by using experimental relaxation and diffusion measurements. Here, we investigated T and T relaxation as well as diffusion of Xe and SF gases in the CC3-R molecular crystal at various temperatures and magnetic field strengths.

Forces applied at the footrest during ergometer kayaking among female athletes at different competing levels - a pilot study.

Background: Power output and force development during exercise are thought to be important indices of performance in elite athletes. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine the forces applied at the footrest during ergometric kayaking in individual kayakers at different competitive levels.

Methods: Three elite female kayakers participated voluntarily in the study.

Brownian Translational Dynamics on a Flexible Surface: Nuclear Spin Relaxation of Fluid Membrane Phases.

A general model for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation studies of fluid bilayer systems is introduced, combining a mesoscopic Brownian dynamics description of the bilayer with atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. An example is given for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in HO solvent and compared with the experiment. Experimental agreement is within a factor of 2 in the water relaxation rates, based on a postulated model with fixed parameters, which are largely available from the MD simulation.
