Common-mode currents can degrade the RF coil performance and introduce potential safety hazards in MRI. Baluns are the standard method to suppress these undesired common-mode currents. Specifically, floating baluns are preferred in many applications because they are removable, allow post-installation adjustment and avoid direct soldering on the cable.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) of non-proton nuclei (X-nuclei) typically require additional proton imaging for anatomical reference and B shimming. Therefore, two RF systems exist, necessitating cable traps to block the unwanted common-mode current at both Larmor frequencies of H and X-nuclei. This study introduces a frequency-independent dual-tuned cable trap that combines a standard solenoid cable trap with a float solenoid trap to independently tune high and low frequencies without compromising performance.

This study examined the development of social power perceptions among Chinese children aged 3-5 years (N = 105). After watching videos about various social power cues, such as resource possession, resource control, goal achievement, permission, giving orders, setting norms and popularity, the children were asked to identify the powerful agents (whom do you believe is the more powerful person?) in the videos and provide explanations (why do you think he (she) is a powerful person?). Three-year-olds can recognize powerful agents who can grant 'permission' to other agents.

Inductively coupled radiofrequency (RF) coils are an inexpensive and simple method to realize wireless RF coils in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can significantly ease the MRI scan setup and improve patient comfort because they do not require bulky components such as cables, baluns, preamplifiers, and connectors. However, volume-type wireless coils are typically operated in transmit/receive mode because detuning such coils is much more challenging due to their complex structure and multiple resonant modes. Meanwhile, adding too many detuning circuits to a wireless coil would decrease the coil's quality factor, impair the signal-to-noise ratio, and increase the cost.

Correlation operation and attention mechanism are two popular feature fusion approaches which play an important role in visual object tracking. However, the correlation-based tracking networks are sensitive to location information but loss some context semantics, while the attention-based tracking networks can make full use of rich semantic information but ignore the position distribution of the tracked object. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel tracking framework based on joint correlation and attention networks, termed as JCAT, which can effectively combine the advantages of these two complementary feature fusion approaches.
