Progress on hydrogen sulfide removal: From catalytic oxidation to plasma-assisted treatment.

Air pollution is a long-standing environmental challenge as well an important economic subject. Hydrogen sulfide is one the major pollutants in the industrial releases. This review focuses on the thermochemical treatment of hydrogen sulfide based on the most recent works to date regarding its removal.

Validation of q-ball imaging with a diffusion fibre-crossing phantom on a clinical scanner.

Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion imaging provides a valuable tool used for inferring structural anisotropy of brain white matter connectivity from diffusion tensor imaging. Recently, several high angular resolution diffusion models were introduced in order to overcome the inadequacy of the tensor model for describing fibre crossing within a single voxel. Among them, q-ball imaging (QBI), inherited from the q-space method, relies on a spherical Radon transform providing a direct relationship between the diffusion-weighted MR signal and the orientation distribution function (ODF).
