Article Synopsis
  • Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are used as MRI contrast agents, but many have been withdrawn due to poor performance.
  • The study aimed to enhance the T2-weighted MRI contrast of SPIONs by clustering them within a chitosan amphiphile.
  • This clustering significantly improved the relaxation ratio, leading to better contrast in MRI images, particularly highlighting liver vasculature when administered intravenously.

Biomass allometric equation (BAE) considered as a simple and reliable method in the estimation of forest biomass and carbon was used widely. In China, numerous studies focused on the BAEs for coniferous forest and pure broadleaved forest, and generalized BAEs were frequently used to estimate the biomass and carbon of mixed broadleaved forest, although they could induce large uncertainty in the estimates. In this study, we developed the species-specific and generalized BAEs using biomass measurement for 9 common broadleaved trees (Castanopsis fargesii, C.
